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

White Sox ace: Jake Peavy or Chris Sale?
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?

White Sox Morel, Cubs LaHair: opposite ends of statistical spectrum
Today's White Sox vs. Cubs series began with very little pomp and circumstance. Since 2008, when both teams were in first place upon meeting, the red line rivalry has approached with less excitement and intrigue every season. This year, both teams entered with very low expectations and so far living down to them, as each team is below .500.

White Sox need more from Beckham, Dunn and Rios in 2012
The three big albatross contracts on the Chicago White Sox are those belonging to Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Jake Peavy. They are the three most overpaid underachievers on the Sox; at least in 2011 anyway. They are three players most Sox fans point the finger at for what went wrong last year. I agree on the first two, but think the third biggest problem is Gordon … [Read more...] about White Sox need more from Beckham, Dunn and Rios in 2012

White Sox season outlook: causes for optimism?
Last preseason held very high hopes for the Chicago White Sox. In 2011, most publications ranked them in the top 10, often top 5 in MLB power rankings entering the year. This year, you'll see them in the high 20s across the board in pretty much all publications. ESPN picked them dead last, and Sports Illustrated predicted they'll lose 95 games.
