Could It Be?

That's right, the thoughts and ideas from my last post could possibly come true. White Sox GM Kenny Williams announced today that the trade for Ken Griffey Jr. is official. Nick Masset an Danny Richar will go to Cincinnati. The Sox outfield is pretty stable as it is, with Carlos Quentin's 28 home runs and 83 RBIs, along with Jermaine [read more...]

Picking the All-Star Teams: American League

The fact that the league that wins the Major League Baseball All-Star game gets home-field advantage in the World Series might be the dumbest rule in all of sports. The NBA's big mid-season event doesn't determine who has home court in the Finals, and neither does the NHL's when it comes to the Stanley Cup. (I won't even mention the [read more...]

A Tale of Two Sweeps

It seemed only fitting that this year's Crosstown Showdown ended in the same fashion it started – with a sweep. "I think it'll be a different Monday in Chicago," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said after the White Sox swept the Cubs on Sunday night in a 5-1 win at U.S. Cellular Field, just one week after being swept at Wrigley [read more...]

White Sox Bats Coming Alive

The Chicago White Sox have won four out of their last five games and are now hitting .304 with 42 home runs and 150 runs scored in June. They definitely stepped up their game offensively during the second half of the Crosstown Classic this weekend at US Cellular Field, with the big hits of this series starting with Nick Swisher's [read more...]

The Bats Are Back

Looks like Ozzie's rants and some negative publicity helped the Sox figure out what they're bats are made for. The Sox have scored a total of 54 runs and just today they scored 12 on the Twins for their 6th straight win. Swisher finally broke out of his slump along with Konerko, Crede, and Ramirez. Quentin had some action as [read more...]

MLB Report Cards

The start of June means only one thing to nearly every student in the country: School is almost over and summer is about to begin. But before thousands of kids can enjoy the beach, sleeping late and Fourth of July fireworks, there's that important thing called grades. Have a poor report card, and a student's summer can turn from backyard [read more...]

The White Sox Starring Carlos Quentin

The White Sox managed to avoid a sweep by the Los Angeles Angels thanks to a fantastic effort from Jose Contreras, who continues to show the same flashes of brilliance as he did in 2005, and Carlos Quentin. Quentin continues to be one of the biggest finds in this offseason for Kenny Williams. Williams had taken a lot of deserved shots [read more...]

Finding a Way to Win

I don't know if anyone realizes this, but the Chicago White Sox have won eight in a row and are in first place. Granted, they're in a weak division, but no one was complaining when the Cubs were winning the far weaker National League Central. After Minnesota and Toronto, it appeared the White Sox were headed for the oblivion of [read more...]

White Sox Back to their Old Ways

After watching yet another White Sox loss, it seems like the team has reverted back to their 2007 form. The hitters aren't hitting. The fielders aren't catching the ball, and the bullpen looks as bad as ever. Ultimately, you can't blame the pitchers since their ERA is under four. What you can do is look at a group of hitters who [read more...]
