So Long Swish. Dirty Thirty, We Hardly Knew Thee
I feel like commenting on next season is like commenting on a meal without having eaten it and without even seeing the menu. This time of year (between now and Spring Training and Spring Training and regular season) typically makes me nuts. Not because...

OUCH!
Man, what a bummer. Jose's first game back and he ruptures his achilles tendon on first base. Lots of moves tonight as a result: Sox have acquired Horacio Ramirez...and from what I can tell it's a good pickup. Josh Fields and Boone Logan sent...

Pieces of Eight
I wish I had more time but here are my thoughts on the last eight games. First, it's always great to come back from the West Coast (or anywhere) with a winning record, however, we were stranding WAY too many guys on base. I know you can't get...

Always Bet on Black...
...when Verlander is in town and the Gambler isn't dealing. Verlander's record vs the Sox is now 1-6 and today just wasn't Kenny Rogers' day. I wish I had more time but I really need to start packing for a business trip this week so here's...

Wow, is DET hurting. They are going to win a game some time but considering their next series is in BOS I will be surprised if it's anytime in their next series. It's kind of funny. Have you taken a look at the 1st week standings ? Yes, I KNOW...

Almost There
Well, Here We Are . The last home stand of the year--TG! As I walked home after work yesterday (which takes me past the park) I do admit that despite how absolutely painful and putrid this year has been I was still looking forward to going to game last...

Here Comes the BOOM!
This is the year Bobby Jenks grew from a “thrower” to a “pitcher”. Some people were concerned that he was “only” throwing in the mid to high 90s and were worried that we hadn’t really seen 98, 99, 100, 101, etc. in Spring Training and early this season...

JIM......THOME.....YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOAAAAARRRRRDDDD, YES!!!!!!!!
MERCY! What a way to make 500! How fitting that on Jim Thome Bobblehead Day, Jim Thome hits his 500th career home run AND wins the game with a walk-off where at one point the Sox trailed the Angles 7-1! CAH-RAZY! Along with a lot of other people I was...

Rotten Fish
When asked pre-game Friday night about the piranhas of Minnesota Ozzie said they are playing more like sardines these days. I guess he’s right. Sox have taken the first two from the Twinkies this weekend and neither of them was pretty. It’s been more...

Not-Quite-Dead-Yet Road Kill
We’ve all seen it. That squirrel spinning furiously across the road, the poor critter who wandered out onto the pavement and into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Though they aren’t dead yet you know it’s moments away. Now the animal is just thrashing...

Why Do I Care?
Both 2006 and 2007 looked better on paper than 2005 so you can’t blame a girl for expecting more. Money doesn’t guarantee anything either, if it did the Twins wouldn’t be piranhas and NYY would be winning every year, right? If it were as simple as that...

Who's To Blame When The Sky Is Falling?
Even with a month left of baseball it seems like in the South Side all that is left to do is point fingers. Some are blaming the players, some the coaching staff and others are blaming Kenny Williams. I have a few opinions but whatever and whomever it...

Cora vs. Cora / Youkilis, YouKilledUs
It was more fun thinking of titles about this weekend than actually thinking about the games. There was nothing fun about that, in fact, it reminded me more of a few lines from “Stigmata” by Ministry. The words kept running through my head all weekend...

Recent Sox Contract News
I’m glad to see that there is now a veteran in the Sox pen. I’m just not sure I’m glad that it’s Mike Myers. To be honest, I’m afraid he’s come home to die. (He was born in Arlington Heights and graduated from Crystal Lake.) I think we’ve needed a veteran...

Move Over Bacon, There’s Somebody Grindy-er
Two stolen bases (one in a rally that helped to tie the score in the 7 th ), three hits (one actually being a bunt) and one super attempt to catch at the wall, although Jerry Owens couldn’t hold on to the ball as he hit the wall it was a great try, blood...
