Slip and Fall

Not really what I want to be writing about but it's been a rough coupla days. This time last week the Sox were in first, now they're sitting in 4th. Ouch. It's only two and a half games out as I type this and they are playing first place KC--what?---so if they start hitting they could make...

It's May Day Not Mayday (whew)

Some days in April I felt like I didn't know what we had and others it seemed that things were starting to take shape (for good). I guess first place, even by a narrow margin, alleviates some of the worry. What I do like, beside the obvious, are the additions of Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Lillibridge...

Back to Back 300 Jacks

For the first time in MLB history two teammates have hit century milestones in the same game. Not only that but Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko did it hitting back-to-back in the second. That's the cool thing about baseball, this game is played over and over and over multiple times a day, month after...

Kicking and Screaming

With the exception of my stomach turning every time I saw the red and blue #24 I was feeling OK about this game until about the 7th inning but before I go there I'll begin with what I thought would be the main focus of my thoughts tonight. I was at that Aug. game, Sox vs. Sox, when Contreras left...

Numah 2 & Numah 3

Wow, not the way I’d like to start things out. Floyd and Danks both deserved wins but got little to no support. I am really not ready to see this (again) all year. I am fighting to not let this wreck things for me, I’m so excited it’s baseball season I do not want to be negative but geez guys, let's...

1 Down, 161 to Go

The Fun Sox win! Baseball is here! Chris Getz had a good day as did Josh Fields (laid down a perfect bunt and had nice jumping throw to home to save a run). Welcome back to the AL Central Kyle Farnsworth, we’re glad you are here and although we don’t understand it, we’re even happier that Trey Hillman...

Bring It On

Obviously all the SoxFest chatter got me anxious for Spring Training and now that ST is here I'm wishing I could be in AZ! I'm ready to see what unfolds in centerfield, 2nd base, 3rd base and in the rotation. I'm antsy to watch Alexei at his normal spot (he had never played 2nd in his entire...

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 I can’t see the whole picture but because others...

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 down. We traded an A ball player for Ramirez. Rumor...

White Sox Trade For Griffey

I was awoken from my train-sleep by MJ's txt message. It was a simple txt message. "Fox is reporting Sox got junior from Reds". I was surprised. This wasn't the move I expected Kenny Williams to make at this year's deadline. I was hoping for a pitcher. I'm always hoping for...
