A-Rod To Chicago? Not In A New York Minute

Both the Cubs and Yankees have something more in common than losing in their respective division series: Alex Rodriguez. Also add just about every other team with deep pockets, including the Angels and Giants; teams that could really use Rodriguez. It’s a sure bet that A-Rod will waive his option and test the free agent […]

Dye Stays With The Sox

Its tough to remain positive regarding a team that went 13-15 in July, lost 5 of six to your hometown rivals, and got bombed last night 16-3 to the Yankees who had 8 homers. Say what you will, but you have to appreciate the composure of GM Kenny Williams and the White Sox.
The White […]

Buehrle Trade Talk Quicker Than Him

I was fortunate enough to attend the Cubs vs. White Sox game last Friday with a great pitching matchup between Carlos Zambrano and Mark Buehrle. I thought to myself, “this game is going to be over in just over an hour..”. While it lasted longer than an hour, it was a quick game. Besides giving […]

Harrelson and Melton in a Meltdown

If you haven’t seen and heard yet, White Sox announcer Ken Harrelson simply lost it during the base running debacle conducted by Felix Pie, Angel Pagan, and Mark DeRosa. Unfortunately for “Hawkeroo”, Juan Uribe got in the way of Angel Pagan and thus the play was dead (slight video delay):

The beauty of this whole […]

Chicago Baseball at a Loss

It wasn’t but two weeks ago that the hopes for the Cubs seemed to be looking up after winning the first of two in a series against the White Sox. In the finale, Cubs pitching opens the floodgates and gives up seven runs in the seventh inning. Well, at least they won the series. Then […]

Cubs Win First of City Series

As usual, the Cubs vs. White Sox series was full of excitement, big plays, and controversy. While last year’s headline was the brawl between Michael “I didnt have the ball B!*%H” Barrett and A.J. Pierzynski this year’s first of two series involved a phone call off the field and some big hits on it.
Unfortunately, […]

Buehrle Gets the Big Zero

I’ll be the first to admit it…I’m not a White Sox fan. As a die-hard Cubs fan and being a native North Sider, that’s just the way it is. No “ifs”, “ands”, or “buts”. The last two years have been pretty bad for Cubs fans seeing as the White Sox won the World Series in […]

Two Men Enter, Both of Them Old Friends

If you thought the Padres and Rangers coming to town were nothing more than simple series to cover for both the Cubs and White Sox, you’re right. San Diego has won the NL West the last two years while only averaging 85 wins in those two seasons. The Rangers, well are the Rangers and always […]

White Sox Still Trying to Lure Fans

During the last few days, I’ve been inundated with some new commercials airing in the Chicagoland area. The first couple times, I thought they were just a pure slam to the South Side of Chicago typical of Mancow or other radio shockjocks in Chicago. They were quite funny and I made sure to point the […]

What’s Guillen’s Problem?

I don’t understand this man. Instead of making his way to the top of baseball’s premier manager’s list, Ozzie Guillen acts like a child who got knocked off his bike. Wasn’t the storyline going into spring training about how long it would take for Lou Pinella to start throwing bases around the field and shouting […]
