Holy Above.500 record Soxman! Before the Southsiders recent winning streak was snapped, the Sox won seven in a row. When last we tuned into this Sox Channel at the same Sox time last week, I was wondering whether the Sox had a legitimate reason to consider themselves buyers at trading [...]

The question on every White Sox fan’s mind as the major league trade deadline approaches…“Will Kenny Williams be a buyer or a seller?”
Yesterday’s trade of minor league first baseman Brandon Allen for relief pitcher Tony Pena really didn’t answer the question either way.

Alas the dynamic duo of White Sox blogging returns. With the NBA draft complete and the Chicago Blackhawks on ice for the summer, “Sports Ace,” Paul M. Banks returns to wrap up the Cross-town Classic, discuss the White Sox chances in the AL Central, and to dive into the latest MLB [...]

Before I even begin, I’d just like to say that I fully expect to catch some flak for this- too many people have their opinions on the Cubs and the Sox and refuse to even think about modifying them. But with the “Crosstown Classic” again this weekend, it’s a perfect time to examine [...]

(Paul Schmidt) – It’s time for round two! The Red Line series shifts south to U.S. Cellular Field, where this Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Cubs and Sox will once again take each other on in a battle for city supremacy.
Now, that really sounds like I’m fired up about [...]
The Detroit Tigers are not exactly the most lovable team in baseball, but they have been one of the few success stories coming from the Motor City in recent months- yes, the Red Wings made the Stanley Cup finals, but they were one of the few teams that could actually consider losing in the finals a dissapointment. The question now is, can the Tigers- predicted by many experts to be middling at best this year- continue their success and pull off an unlikely division crown? Let’s take a look at their fellow AL Central teams and see.

On June 3rd, 2003 Sammy Sosa used a corked bat in a baseball game. With a Ruthian swing, the bat exploded into 1000 pieces exposing a hollow core. Sosa smiled and walked away denying any knowledge of wrong doing. Years later this memory becomes the perfect analogy for not only his career, but the [...]

(PMB)What a difference a year makes! Last season around this time, both Chicago teams were in first place and the Crosstown Classic actually came remotely close to living up to the absurd hype that accompanies it each year. It was so important that we actually ran two exchanges for [...]

You have to reach back to years of California’s rolling blackouts, Mad Cow disease media-hype and the release of the very first Apple’s IPod for the last time the Chicago White Sox played the Milwaukee Brewers. 2001 was remarkable. Fast-forward to 2009, as Soxman and Melissa cheese it up about [...]

Paul M. Banks continues his Sportsbank GM duties this week and is so disgusted with the White Sox performance that his comments would make Ozzie Guillen blush.
So Soxman calls up top blogging prospect Rikki Greenberg from AAA to avoid being shutout from talking White Sox baseball. Batter-up!

This weekend, the I-94 rivalry stretches further South. A rare match-up pairing the Milwaukee Brewers with the Chicago White Sox gives Paul M. Banks and Melissa S. Wollering (who both suspiciously use initials in their names) a chance to banter about inter-league ball. The Brewers and [...]

It starts with beer endorsed bleacher seats and frat boys in the Captain Morgan Club imitating the mascot’s signature leg-up pose. Before you know it, Wrigley Field will be renamed TGI Fridays Field and the Harry Caray statue will be wearing a giant Arby’s hat.

The last time the White Sox had a worse scoring pace than this year was 1986 when they scored 3.98 runs per game. The Sox are scoring 4.15 runs per game which is good for 12th in the American League. They were shutout in three games last week (2 vs. Oak, 1 vs. [...]

After months of getting told by Jerry, Kenny, and Ozzie that Mr. Beckham was not going to be brought up by the Chicago White Sox, the unthinkable happened. It was much more shocking than when moved from Double A to Triple A and shifted to third base. He played every single game at [...]

The Chicago White Sox selected outfielder Jared Mitchell of Louisiana State University with their first-round pick (23rd overall) in yesterday’s Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. (Did anyone watch it? It was actually televised on MLB Network, but I only caught a glimpse of it. JUST GENIUS MARKETING on their part scheduling [...]
