As the Chicago White Sox look at their 2010 blueprint and question “what happened, fans chants of “Fire Ozzie” or “Wave the White Flag” grow another decibel as the losses pile one, but I challenge the following: Soxman asks who is truly to blame? … [Read more...] about (Former) White Sox Show Dedication to Pitching, Speed, and Defense

Fixing the White Sox Part II, Infield and Catchers
By Soxman As the White Sox drop two of three to the lowly Royals and lose badly to the Twins, my hands can’t seem to type fast enough in publishing part II of our continuing series “fixing the White Sox” for 2010. In this series, I’ll take stock of the players who will stay (”put ‘em on the board”) or those who need to move on (”He gone”), and look at possible trades, … [Read more...] about Fixing the White Sox Part II, Infield and Catchers
Jake Peavy’s Debut Offers Sox Taste of 2010
By Soxman Coming from a lower-middle working class family, I’m no stranger to having to wait in order to get something you really want.

“Sinking” White Sox Exchange
By Soxman and Paul M. Banks “Iceberg dead ahead,” is the titanic analogy most White Sox fans are using to describe the Sox play-off chances as they've commenced their most difficult road trip of the year. No sooner are the Minnesota Twins “ruled dead” that they are only a game behind the White Sox in the standings. Can the Sox still win this division or will they end the … [Read more...] about “Sinking” White Sox Exchange
Stretch Run Sox Exchange
By: Paul M Banks and Soxman And then there were two. The AL Central pennant race -and I use that term loosely- is heating up as our hometown heroes are the only team left in the AL Central that could conceivably give the Detroit Tigers a run at the division crown. The Sox are currently in a holding pattern just two point five games off the division leading pace. But are they … [Read more...] about Stretch Run Sox Exchange
