Lerew Reminds White Sox: You're Still A Few Bats Short
Free from the pressure of trying to continue one of the hottest streaks in team history and no longer able to beat up on the lesser National League, the Royals were supposed to provide a soft cushion for the White Sox return to American League play. The Royals sent some guy named Anthony Lerew to...
White Sox Bats: Mastering the Art of the Slow Start
.225, .237, .261 No those aren't the low batting averages that rode Jim Thome* out of town. Those are the White Sox batting averages for the last 3 Aprils. Three games into the season they're well on their way to repeating that trend with just 14 hits in 3 games, good for a .154 team average. And...
White Sox Chill High Expectations With Familiarly Feeble Offense
A few months ago, I met up with a group of old friends from high school. Some were married, had kids, a mortgage while others, cough, were living in their parents' basement and still stuck in college. We all carried around these new, updated identities and yet within the span of one beer we all...
Mets 4, Rockies 0: Offensive struggles doom Rox again
Well, the New York woes continue on for Colorado. Jason Marquis pitched well enough to win his 13th ballgame, but instead he came away with loss number 7 on the season, as the Rockies' offense wasn't able to get clicking in a shutout loss to the New York Mets. It was the first time the Rockies have...
White Sox Offense Still Absent at Home
Paul Konerko hit a homerun and the rest of the White Sox offense put up about as much of a fight as Perez Hilton against Will.i.am, unless you count their usual 9th inning shutout-avoiding run. Maybe they had forgotten about the HR? Once again the Sox failed to put up much of an effort against a...
Seventeen With a Bullet
I'll make it a quick one, because I really am writing something about last Tuesday, which I'm probably just making up at this point since I'm going on memory. The White Sox offense scored 17 runs on Monday. They had scored 17 in the previous 5 games, including the brutal 20-1 loss to...
The Dodgers are Good at Getting on Base
The Dodgers offense has played a huge part in their 20-8 start to the season. So far the Dodgers have the most runs in the National League, 151. They just barely have more runs than the Cardinals and Phillies, while their division rivals the Giants and Diamondbacks have the fewest runs in the...
Saturday Rockpile: Late-game woes, Atkins heating up.
The Rockies wasted a good-but-not-great start from Jorge De La Rosa last night, losing to the Dodgers 4-3 at Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles. The Rockies really struggled offensively after the first inning, and the bullpen absolutely blew up in the bottom of the seventh inning. Clint Hurdle made the...
White Sox Early Season Offensive Struggles and Taxes
It was a sign of things to come when Josh Fields hit a triple in the first inning, only to watch Carlos Quentin strike out meekly and have Jim Thome follow suit on just 3 pitches. Or when Brian Anderson led off the 3rd with a 5-pitch walk -- Seriously Detroit, how do walk Anderson in three...
Saturday Rockpile: Attitude change in '09, Opening Day optimism, Examination of the Hammel trade, more
The Denver Post's Dave Krieger goes in depth on the Rockies' change of attitude to start this season. While it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the lowered expectations have helped ease the team, there's still something to be said about the way the guys have bounced back thus far....
