Expect more from 2014 White Sox
At this point of the season, the Chicago White Sox were supposed to have their eyes fixed on catching the Detroit Tigers, not the Minnesota Twins. But the 2013 season has been anything but according to the book for the White Sox. As well as the pieces fell together for the Sox in 2012, things […]
Time to sell for White Sox
After last year’s surprisingly strong performance, the Chicago White Sox gave fans every reason to believe they would compete this year. They have been a huge disappointment offensively and defensively – and are just painful to watch at this point. And it is only July! The only thing that kept the Chicago spotlight off […]
Peavy, Dunn back to former glory
McDonald’s has become a dynasty because of consistency. When you walk into one of the fast-food giant’s restaurants in Seattle, it is going to be pretty much the same fare you are going to get at a drive-through in Tampa. That same type of consistency is what the Chicago White Sox thought they were getting […]
Chicago White Sox turn on power for 2011
The Chicago White Sox went into this off-season with plenty of work to do. They head toward spring training with a job well Dunn. Plenty of questions surrounded the offense heading into the fall and winter. Would catcher A.J. Pierzynski remain? Could they find a left-handed power hitter to compliment their line-up? And, most notably, […]
The Other Side of Free Agency
Ever since a federal arbitrator ruled that baseball’s reserve clause was too restrictive in a 1975 ruling the players have seen their average salary soar higher than a launched projectile. As late as 1986 the average salary was $413,000. Today it is $3 million and climbing. There’s no doubt that this historic ruling has made […]

White Sox Reflections 1 ½ Months In
I’ll let Paul Konerko and Ozzie Guillen sum up the White Sox season (15-18) through the halfway point in May. “We stink.” – Guillen “We’re just not good right now, that’s it.” – Konerko That pretty much sums it up, but let’s take a look at why the Sox are struggling so much. Offense The […]
Reflections On the White Sox
2008 was an odd year in the AL Central. A lot of people–this commentator included– thought that the Tigers had the division won before pitchers and catchers even reported to camp. Oops. They ended up in last place. And while it took an extra game, the Chicago White Sox were your AL Central champs. Cue […]
