I was less eager to write the obituary for the 2009 White Sox than Stormin Norman was when he gleefully leapt off the Cubs bandwagon earlier this month.  There was nothing cathartic for me in coming to grips with the Sox demise. Stormin Norman’s at least freed his mind from caring for a team that [...]

With Bob Barker hosting Monday Night Raw here in the Chicago area, A.J. Pierzynski decided to truly put his white trash look to the test. It passed with flying colors. I love all the boos when he comes out, it must have been a north side/south side mix in the crowd. Enjoy!

Okay here’s the deal, although I would argue that most Cubs fans are as good of fans as any White Sox fan, there are definitely some that only go to the games to get drunk and pick up chicks (or dudes, I’m not judging).  Even if that is the case however, the remaining real Cubs [...]

Bitternutz, an avid NQTC reader and commenter, sent me this little rant about his beloved White Sox today.  I’m reposting it here for any Sox fans who wish to read it (or any Cubs fans who enjoy sharing the misery of the 2009 season with our south side brethren).  Enjoy! 2009 White Sox Obituary I [...]

In Wednesday night’s marathon game that lasted early into Thursday morning, the White Sox lost the war 1-0 on Ken Griffey Jr.’s RBI single in the bottom of the 14th inning with two outs and two men on.  Tony Pena was saddled with his fourth loss of the season, but some of his other teammates [...]

A week and a half ago, Chicagoans were bitching about how unseasonably cool, dry and boring the summer had been. We longed to have fun summers like the people on the East, West and Gulf Coasts were having. Kenny Williams, a native Californian had an especially troublesome time with the mild weather. Not only did [...]

At the beginning of the year, the consensus was that there were a handful of players in the AL that would compete for the Rookie of the Year award. David Price (TAM) had shown his mettle in the playoffs in 2008 and retained his rookie status for 2009. Matt Wieters (BAL), Travis Snider (TOR) and [...]

Near the beginning of the season, Black Jack McDowell, former ace for the White Sox in the early 90′s, wrote an article on what it takes to be a championship team for some website called “Chicago Now.” http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/black-jack-white-sox/2009/05/white-sox-vs-royals-on-paper.html In short, Black Jack believes for a team to be considered a legitimate championship contender, a team [...]

Many will blame Mark Buehrle’s perfect streak coming to an end, the five earned runs he gave up in the sixth and seventh innings, and the White Sox 5-3 loss to the Twins on Tuesday night on the most recent Sports Illustrated cover. The SI cover curse or jinx is well documented. SI itself, ran [...]

On Tuesday afternoon the White Sox laid claim to the title of “The Most Racist Organization in Baseball” when they traded the extremely caucasian Brian Anderson. This was clearly a move made with the overwhelming support of Ozzie Guillen (Venezuela) and Kenny Williams (Berkeley, CA). In a closely related move designed to cement the White Sox [...]

I spotted this during Friday night’s second leg of the double-header and had to find a picture.  The guys over at Detroit4lyfe were all over it. Sox will try to avoid the sweep tonight at 7:05 CT on ESPN, where Joe Morgan will be dropping the knowledge as always.  **Update: No Joe Morgan, no knowledge.

The White Sox won’t get much time to bask in the glory of Mark Buehrle’s perfect game, as they have an afternoon date with the Detroit Tigers.  The upcoming four game series is as big as they get in July.  The Sox and Tigers are tied for the AL Central lead and won’t meet again [...]

We all have heard at some point that John F. Kennedy had an assistant named Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln had an assistant named Kennedy. But yesterday, Comcast Sportsnet stumbled upon an even eerier set of similarities from much more recent events. The Comcast crew came up with a list of similarities between Mark Buehrle’s no-hitter [...]

You’ve probably already heard about Mark Buerhle’s perfect game, but did anyone happen to check ESPN sometime around the 7th inning? Let’s just say their math didn’t quite add up.  According to this screenshot sent to me by South Side Sheik, Buerhle had retired 23 men and had only 6 outs to go.  Hmmm, A [...]

Mark Buehrle tossed a perfect game today against the Tampa Bay Rays, making it the first gem since Randy Johnson’s in 2003 and the 17th ever…or 18th, I don’t know.  Anyway, quite the accomplishment from the lefty after throwing a no-no a couple of years back that was damn close to a perfect game as [...]
