White Sox Ken “Hawk” Harrelson: worst announcer in all of sports? (video)

By

(re-post from 5-7-12 as Hawk Harrelson now finishes his career and unjustifiably gets the "retirement bounce") Who's the biggest dead weight connected to the Chicago White Sox: Gordon Beckham? Brent Morel? How about Ken "Hawk"Harrelson who gave us 63 seconds of dead air Friday night on the game's most pivotal play. Yes, over a minute of silence as the game's critical home … [Read more...] about White Sox Ken “Hawk” Harrelson: worst announcer in all of sports? (video)

Former White Sox OF Andruw Jones arrested on Christmas for domestic violence

By

When Andruw Jones was with the Chicago White Sox he gave the fans a couple thrills. Most notably, his 400th career home run. He played with four more MLB teams, including the Atlanta Braves for 12 years, for which he is best known. Jones won 10 Gold Gloves during his career. But enough about that, it wasn't a very merry Christmas in the Jones household, in fact it was a … [Read more...] about Former White Sox OF Andruw Jones arrested on Christmas for domestic violence

Texas Rangers sign A.J. Pierzynski away from White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are hoping that Tyler Flowers hits better than .100 next season, because he's the new full time catcher on the south side. A.J.

White Sox GM Rick Hahn discusses the club’s direction

By

New White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn was very busy on Thursday. He did an interview on The Score, Chicago Tribune Live, and this conference call with us White Sox bloggers. It was all about getting the message out. He's also been busy with transactions- re-signing Jake Peavy to a two year, $29 million dollar deal, and re-upping on Gavin Floyd. I still question the Peavy … [Read more...] about White Sox GM Rick Hahn discusses the club’s direction

White Sox now tied wth Tigers for first place; stretch run looms

By

It took a sweep by the Detroit Tigers to knock the Chicago White Sox out of first place; and that's exactly what happened. Justin Verlander won the highly anticipated match-up with Chris Sale, and the three game sweep restarts the AL Central race back at zero. Earlier in the season the Sox gave up first place to Detroit, but it was only for a day or two, as Chicago took it … [Read more...] about White Sox now tied wth Tigers for first place; stretch run looms

Told ya Jake Peavy gets all-star nod despite losing vote

By

Told ya all that All-Star campaigning crap was a waste of time. I told you that Chicago White Sox and their fans' mindless jingoism and lemming behavior to vote Jake Peavy into the Midsummer classic was for naught- not because he finished second in the voting, but because I knew HE WOULD GET THERE ANYWAY. As an injury replacement. And he did. This is the third All-Star nod … [Read more...] about Told ya Jake Peavy gets all-star nod despite losing vote

By

What follows is the the third installment of the New Era ballcaps ads featuring actors Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson sporting Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs caps.

It's a viral vid sure to spice up the latest edition of the Red Line … [Read more...] about White Sox vs Cubs, Craig Robinson vs. Nick Offerman, The Office vs. Parks & Rec (video)

White Sox ace: Jake Peavy or Chris Sale?

By

I guess it's safe to say that this year's Chicago White Sox opening day starter, John Danks, is no longer considered the ace of the staff, what with his lackluster numbers juxtaposed against the dominating stats being put up by the youngster Chris Sale and the patched up veteran Jake Peavy. The former had a dominant, club record setting 14 Ks in one game while the latter is … [Read more...] about White Sox ace: Jake Peavy or Chris Sale?
