The only thing worse than a sweep is the very team being swept. A gentle calm befalls the earth, and all is suddenly well. [The Beachwood Reporter]
Throughout the history of the Chicago White Sox, many pitchers have come and gone. Boone Logan is one of those pitchers.
Looking back at the season that was. Next year can’t start soon enough.
If you thought their chance had passed, you were totally right.
Oh yeah, I used to be an American League manager. It’s a tough racket.
Swept by the Rangers. The ****ing Texas Rangers. Elimination number is down to 10. On the week, the Sox went 1-4 in the last “soft” part of the schedule, which is even worse when you consider that after tonight’s games, the D-Rays are only 3 games back for the MLB-wide basement. Every team the Sox [...]
In New York tonight, the Red Sox played the Yankees much to the delight of ESPN, Fox, MLB, and 40 million self-entitled loudmouths. This afternoon, the Angels and Mariners went head-to-head in the latest in a string of increasingly important series for the hanging-on-by-a-thread-because-of-the-goddamn-Yankees Mariners. Elsewhere, the Padres and Diamondbacks squared off with first place [...]
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 [...]

What matters is not new acquisition Mike Myers sporting an ERA with the Sox of 18.00, a number only slightly better than the combined ERAs (18.31) of Dewon [...]
Finding the silver lining on 162 games of gray.
Welcome to Chicago, where “speed” is just another word for “no.”
We were going to be a look at some of the possible September call-ups, but we’re going to save that for another time. Last night, two horrible things became true within a few hours of each other: The Sox made their way into last place. The Cubs clawed their way into first. This is so [...]
In which your editor is right and everything else in the baseball world is horribly, horribly wrong.
Playtime is over; time to get spiteful.
It was a good night if you’re a Tigers fan (and it sounded like there were quite a few at Comiskey tonight) as the kittens kicked off what this writer is certain will be a five-game sweep of the last-place Sox. The Good Guys were up 6-5 when Mark Buehrle left the mound and by [...]
Maybe, just maybe, Ozzie Guillen and Charlie Sheen are the same person.
