By Andrew Reilly | Published: August 27, 2009

In which your editor pontificates on why not to get upset over the endless, cold assault happening to our favorite team during their big trip to Boston. Hint: It rhymes with “always been fliserable.” Bonus Hint: It also rhymes with “not that schmood.” [Mouthpiece Sports]

By Andrew Reilly | Published: July 30, 2009

Cheering for the Other Guys

By Andrew Reilly | Published: October 7, 2008

So the Sox are out. Now what? Now we rebound. National League Championship Series, Dodgers vs. Phillies: Phillies fans, as we all know, are insane. And hateful. And spiteful. And mean. And their players carp a lot to the press. Also, Joe Torre and Manny Ramirez don’t need any more glorification in the sports press. [...]

Bold Predictions: A Non-Vote of Confidence

By Andrew Reilly | Published: October 1, 2008

What we talk about when we talk about Non-Sox playoff series: Cubs/Dodgers: If the Sox win (more on that tomorrow), may the Cubs win as well; if not, well, it will at least be kind of fun to watch Carlos Zambrano murder one (or many!) of his teammates on national television. Whatever. Prediction: Cubs in 4 OR [...]

But the Question Is “Why?”

By Andrew Reilly | Published: August 27, 2007

Four game sweep by Boston, outscored 46-7 by the time it was over. What else can you say? If you’re the White Sox marketing team, apparently not very much: Before kicking off a four-game weekend set in Boston — where Paul Konerko launched home run No. 26 on Saturday — the White Sox got the [...]
