Freddy Garcia Honors Jackie Robinson by Making Blue Jays Look Like Hall of Famers
There are certain aspects of the baseball season that feel like a relationship. Opening Day is like a first date; you're excited, there are endless possibilities, and invariably you read too much into the fact that she didn't laugh at your grizzly bear joke (or that your DH will never, ever get a...
Daniel Hudson Is Gonna Be Good
Not since Gordon Beckham's Girl-Approved Hair has a White Sox rookie shown such promise in his initial trial while failing to fill up the box score. Daniel Hudson may have taken the loss Monday. He might have continued the Curse of #54 with a routine throwing error to first base. But he showed a...
Gavin Floyd Tweaks Hip, White Sox Still Seeking Level
I don't know how Gavin Floyd even made it through three innings. I mean I know he was trying to gut through a minor (?) injury, but what's the point? And where was AJ, or Ozzie or Herm? It was clear to me (even in my inebriated state) that he was uncomfortable on the mound in the first, though it...
Major League Rulebook Bars Bobby Jenks From Pitching in Non-Save Situation
That has to be the answer, right? I mean there's no way Ozzie Guillen would allow Scott Linebrink, who he recently removed from the "set-up" role, to pitch in the 9th inning of a tie game. Then follow Linebrink's improbable 1-2-3 scoreless inning with a call on Randy Williams to face not just...
The Day The White Sox Lost The Central: Part 2
Last season when the White Sox dropped their July 31st game in the Metrodome in painful fashion and picked up Ken Griffey Jr. to play CF on the same day, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek headline that read "The Day The White Sox Lost The Central." Nearly a year later with the Sox getting swept out of the...
Paul Konerko, White Sox Let One Roll Away
It was the type of thing that only seems to happen in Minnesota. In an inning that only seemed to last about 5 minutes, the White Sox had 3 errors, a passed ball and allowed one bizarre (though not dome-influenced) hit. One hard-hit ball and something like 6 outs was all the Twins needed to turn a...
Richard Dinked, Exits Early, Starts Thursday
Yesterday, I wrote that Ozzie Guillen needed to have a swifter hook with Gavin Floyd, citing a rested bullpen and a clearly laboring Floyd. Today, Ozzie yanked Clayton Richard after just 3.2 innings, yet he seemed to be the victim of bad luck more than bad pitching. Richard wasn't getting hit...
A Royal Dud
The White Sox seemed poised to run their winning streak to 8-games holding an early lead against a beleaguered division punching bag. Oops. Gavin Floyd blew through the first inning with ease, but it was clear he didn't have it after that. Ozzie Guillen seemed slow to notice thanks to the Royals...
White Sox Accidentally The Whole Homestand
Another day, another game without a "clutch" hit. Add another 0-6 w/ RISP to the fire sale. I know I'm beating the proverbial dead horse here (and that's Larry's job), but the White Sox combined batting line for this homestand (link should be updated by mid-morning Thursday) is stomach churningly...
White Sox Comeback Bid Just Another Tease
Bad team finds way to lose to mediocre team Even though Ozzie Guillen might have had his worst game of the season, even though Dewayne Wise might have been safe at home in the bottom of the 9th, I can't get myself worked into a lather over the White Sox extra-inning loss to the Tigers Tuesday...
