Playoffs!? How the Chicago teams stack up

As much as I enjoy interleague play, and the Cubs-Sox series in particular, I'm happy its over. After the uber-intense crosstown classic, it's kind of nice to get back to the "normal grind" of the regular season. Where you don't live and die with every single pitch, and the ramifications...

Sox Even the Series with Sweep over Cubs

What is this, soccer? The Sox, having been swept by the Cubs at Wrigley last weekend, got their revenge and swept the Cubs this at the Cell weekend. The season series ends up tied, 3-3, and you know what they say about ties, right? It's like kissing your sister. (Not that there's much kissing...

Cubs Sweep Sox

The Cubs brought out the brooms this weekend on the North Side, pretty much destroying the White Sox. If you're a Cubs fan, there was a lot to like about this series. To note: Back-to-back jacks in the 7th on Friday by Aramis and Lee, followed by Aramis' game winner in the bottom of the ninth...

Cubs Swept by Tampa

I forgot what it feels like to watch your team get swept. After all, the Cubs hadn't lost three games in a row all year. You know, it's exactly how I remembered it. It pretty much sucks. I don't want to read too much into it because, after all, it's just 3 games in a 162 game season and...

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 everyone in all the time but it was getting ridiculous...

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 a quick recap of the weekend. Friday night...

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 it's only the first week. I've got a box...

Whew. It feels so good to win, never gets old! I know it's only the first series and who wants to ever get swept but in the very beginning of the year--I think it would have just hurt a little bit more if we didn't manage to pull out at least one! I'm not saying it would have been the end...

Rollercoaster...of Lo-ove....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I've kind of been draggin my feet on this season starting, wasn't feeling like I was ready to give up all my time but it's all back: insomnia, chills, goosebumps, elation, anxiety, passion, clenched jaw, desk pounding and the #(*&@^%* are flowing! It's...

What are the Sox doing?

Since the Cubs have been pretty much sitting on their hands these last few weeks, I thought I'd take a look at what the South Siders have been up to this winter. Turns out, quite a bit. In chronological order... Re-signed Jose Uribe to a one-year, $4.5 million dollar deal. Uribe is kind of an enigma...
