Sox Downed by Double Leylands

26 July, 2009 (17:30) | Chicago White Sox | By: StevieY19

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.

Huge Series Looms in Midst of Buehrle-Mania

24 July, 2009 (11:18) | Chicago White Sox | By: StevieY19

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 [...]

Ok so Utah matched Millsap’s offer sheet which puts them at $81 million in salary.  That is pretty much the death knell for Boozer’s tenure in Utah.  The Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas rumor lives on.

The bullpen is the key to this Cubs team.  Regardless of hitting, when the ‘pen is working, the team is winning.  Same goes for the other way around, and boy did they blow a gem by Randy Wells last night. [Sun-Times] Oh and Zambrano is missing team flights now. [Tribune] And did I mention Milton [...]

Jake Peavy’s Decision-Making Process

22 May, 2009 (11:08) | Chicago White Sox, MLB | By: StevieY19

It was a tough day yesterday for the White Sox, losing 20-1 to those pesky Minnesota Twins and getting turned down by Jake Peavy.  Here’s a journey into the mind of Jake as the day progressed. Sometime Wednesday night, Jake hears about the deal from his agent and gets off the phone with Scott Linebrink. [...]

Peavy to the South Side?

21 May, 2009 (11:04) | Chicago White Sox, MLB | By: StevieY19

Well, this would be something.  I’m pretty sure there were some rumors of this move over the off-season, but obviously much of the talk of Jake Peavy to Chicago was in reference to the Cubs. Now it seems that Peavy could be heading to the White Sox as the Sox and Padres have reportedly agreed [...]

MLB Docks Jenks an Hour’s Pay

So the other day Bobby Jenks threw at Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers.  Later he admitted that he threw at him intentionally to send a message.  The first thing I thought was good for Jenks for shooting straight, followed quickly by the idea that he would almost certainly be suspended or fined a decent [...]
