White Sox Week That Was: 5/21-5/27 - Oh boy, offense

White Sox Week That Was: 5/21-5/27 - Oh boy, offense
Offense Saturday saw the White Sox establish a new season-high for runs scored with 14, topping their previous high of 11–which they set on Thursday–and two higher than their 2nd highest mark of the season (12) which they accrued on Sunday. Of the five best offensive performances by the White Sox this season, four of... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was: 5/7-5/13 - Up and down, black and white

White Sox Week That Was: 5/7-5/13 - Up and down, black and white
I can’t find the exact quote, but a player made a comment during SoxFest about the most frustrating part of last season being the inability of the team to sustain a stretch of good play.  After all, he longest winning streak of the 2011 season was five. While the Sox have plenty of time to... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was: 5/1-5/6 - Not really a particular reason to be happy

White Sox Week That Was: 5/1-5/6 - Not really a particular reason to be happy
This week saw the White Sox post a 2-4 record, while losing both series to division rivals Detroit and Cleveland.  The poor showing slotted the White Sox as firmly into 3rd place as a team can be in a mediocre AL Central where no one has played 30 games yet; they’re three games back. On... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was - 4/23-4/29: Great beginning and ending to a terrible, terrible story

White Sox Week That Was - 4/23-4/29: Great beginning and ending to a terrible, terrible story
This week, sandwiched in between two dominant pitching performances by Jake Peavy and Gavin Floyd, was a brutal five game losing streak that saw the Sox dragged back to the rest of the AL Central (we get to say that!) and get shutout twice. Those shutouts also featured dominant pitching performances from Jake Peavy and Gavin... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was - 4/16-4/22: Sweep away the pain

White Sox Week That Was - 4/16-4/22: Sweep away the pain
(We’re going to try to make these weekend chunks of information, and WSO in general, more split up and easier to digest.  So expect the weekly recaps to be more team-centered, and rather than splitting off about random storylines, those will now get their own posts) It’s amazing how a distracting bit of weekend entertainment...

White Sox Week That Was - 4/9-4/15: Overwhelmingly positive

White Sox Week That Was - 4/9-4/15: Overwhelmingly positive
In this instant-reaction world full of judgmental blogs like this one, teams are often thought of as being no better than their most recent dull thud against an average-ish sinker-baller.  Sunday’s effort against Rick Porcello and defensive betrayal of Chris Sale certainly left a lot to be desired, but far from undid the work of...

White Sox Weekend That Was - 4/6-4/8: It's to be expected

White Sox Weekend That Was - 4/6-4/8: It's to be expected
Perhaps I’m revealing myself as a cynic, but the White Sox dropping 2 out of 3 to the Rangers in their opening series registers as…oh, alright. Sunday night’s offering to a national TV audience was a rather hopeless dud, but the other two games were one-run toss-ups waged against the defending AL champs.  They almost... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was 9/19-9/25 - Huh? What? Baseball?

White Sox Week That Was 9/19-9/25 - Huh? What? Baseball?
The season lost most of its trappings of purpose weeks ago, and the games have really strove to match the appropriate tenor.  Good on them! A sleepy offensive effort against Fausto Carmona was followed by two straight wins in Cleveland, including a sterling come from behind win in the second-half of Tuesday’s doubleheader to save...

White Sox Week That Was 9/12-9/18 - If the games don't matter, why bother winning any of them?

White Sox Week That Was 9/12-9/18 - If the games don't matter, why bother winning any of them?
The White Sox playoff chances were shot in the chest and thrown into a meat locker two weeks ago, so the exact purpose of their remaining slate of games isn’t the easiest thing to pin down. Should they play youngsters with reckless abandon, and focus on figuring out the 2012 starting lineup?  Should they passionately... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was 9/5-9/11 - Baseball of marginal consequence, varying interest, featuring matching uniforms

White Sox Week That Was 9/5-9/11 - Baseball of marginal consequence, varying interest, featuring matching uniforms
I drove to Cincinnati over the weekend to visit a dear friend.  During my voyage it was quickly made apparent to me that living in Chicago does not necessarily mean I understand The Midwest.   Then again, the sample I drew out was fairly worthless.  Most of the state of Indiana does not resemble the selected...
