For the first time since the last day of the 2010 season, when the White Sox finished the year 88-74, the team is six games over .500 at 28-22. The 7-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday, coupled with the Cleveland Indians loss, brought them into first place.

White Sox Adam Dunn: WORST. SEASON. EVER. Fire Ken Williams!
Manager Ozzie Guillen was let go by the Chicago White Sox last week, but the man who should have been cut was GM Kenny Williams. Williams has made so many bad trades, and HORRIBLE free agent signings that he was the one who really deserved to be cut. Why? He wasted all that money on Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Jake Peavy- all ludicrously overpaid underachieving wastes of space … [Read more...] about White Sox Adam Dunn: WORST. SEASON. EVER. Fire Ken Williams!
Alex Rios a HUGE Reason White Sox Aren’t Winning the AL Central

White Sox Back in AL Central Division Race- OMG! Are you Serious?
During the infamous "White Flag trade" in early August of 1997, Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf was infamously quoted "any one who thinks this team can catch the Cleveland Indians is crazy." Given that the Sox were just 3.5 back of the division leaders from Ohio, with 7 weeks left in the season, it INFURIATED White Sox fans. And it should; they conceded their … [Read more...] about White Sox Back in AL Central Division Race- OMG! Are you Serious?
White Sox Handle Good Teams, Struggle Massively vs. the Bad Ones
The Boston Red Sox were everyone's preseason champions, and up until the last few days, one of the hottest teams in major league baseball. It was the 27-31 Chicago White Sox who cooled them off, sweeping the BoSox in Fenway. This makes it seven in a row white over red. Chicago is starting to own Boston in the same manner the Minnesota Twins own them. Or how the New York … [Read more...] about White Sox Handle Good Teams, Struggle Massively vs. the Bad Ones
2011 Chicago Baseball as Horribly Atrocious as 2011 Chicago Weather
Any time anyone from my hometown talks about how Chicago is the greatest city in the world, the first dissenting retort you’ll hear is “but what about those long, harsh, brutal winters?” Fair point, especially since we’ve had a whooping three days of 70+ degrees in 2011. (’09 had 11 by this point, last year had 14, the average is ten), and even though it’s Cinco de Mayo, … [Read more...] about 2011 Chicago Baseball as Horribly Atrocious as 2011 Chicago Weather

After their 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon, the Chicago White Sox pushed their record to 5-3.

As of now they are leading the MLB in runs scored and are third in batting average. However, it's troubling how they're giving up … [Read more...] about White Sox Winning by Out-Bludgeoning Opposition

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. One October during my childhood, I remember feeling excitement as my mom took me to K-Mart and picked out a brand new bicycle. Man it was loaded. Mag rims, free wheel and made of alloy instead of metal, so it was very light. I got it off … [Read more...] about Jake Peavy’s Debut Offers Sox Taste of 2010
