How many times did we hear that watching the first game of the Sox / Tigers series?? It seemed like about every batter. I understand the team is in a hitting funk and nobody wants to make a one pitch out, but come on, the Tigers were throwing more first pitch fastballs right down the [...]

Well sorry for the delay in commenting on the last two games in Oakland. I was trying to come up with a way to describe my feelings on the games without using words like “fat stupid umpires” and trying to refrain from throwing down a string of f-bombs like, well, like Ozzie yesterday afternoon. The [...]

I really can’t say it enough, Jon Garland is a whole new pitcher this year. I don’t know if it’s just that he has more confidence or is just more comfortable working with AJ and Widger, but he’s a whole new ballplayer. Over the last two years we saw Garland pitch with flashes of brilliance, [...]

Boston broke their BIG curse last season, and this season it’s time for the White Sox to break some curses of their own. The first one is going to happen over the next three games in Oakland. The Sox have a horrible record in the city by the bay, but we have a completely revamped [...]

Man, was I worried there for a little while, it seemed the baseball gods were going to give the game to Jeremy Bonderman and the Detroit Tigers. Besides being a big Sox fan, I also play a little fantasy baseball over on mlb.com, and I had Buehrle on my roster and my wife, if you [...]

The Sox are off to their best start since 1981 (I believe that’s the year Hawk and DJ said) and one of the big questions, at least for me, from the pre-season has been answered. The question being just how will Jon Garland do this season now that we have a solid rotation, and the [...]

I tell you, I so wanted to sit down and write an entry just moments after the Sox 5-4 loss last night, but I figured I’d give myself a little time to try and put some perspective on the fact that Willie Harris was thrown out trying to steal second base for the final out [...]

Well, I hope the White Sox beer vendors don’t hold anything against Mark Buehrle. Always known for his speedy games, Buehrle put in a masterful day with a complete game victory. The only run coming on a 9th inning triple and then fielders choice to get the run in. Buehrle got a career high twelve [...]

Anyone that was a Pale Hose fan back in the 1980′s surely remembers Ron Kittle. Ron was always one of my favorite players, both for his towering home run and for his wit. On an odd sidenote, once when I approached then Red Sox ace Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd for an autograph outside Comiskey Park [...]

Last night the Sox kept the “streak” alive, losing the third game of a three game series where they could have swept. I’m certainly not going to complain, as anytime you win a series is good, and if we can go 2-3 everytime we play someone we’re probably going to be at the top come [...]
