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 »

Instant Rationalization - Indians, Floyd's struggles, all covered up by an ocean of runs

Instant Rationalization - Indians, Floyd's struggles, all covered up by an ocean of runs
A piping hot Memorial Day weekend has transformed U.S. Cellular Field into a launching pad, the White Sox offense into a juggernaut, and yesterday it turned two of the AL’s best starters into tomato cans. So what real chance did struggling hurlers Gavin Floyd and Ubaldo Jimenez have? Floyd continued the erratic pitching that marred... Read more »

Morning notes: Hopefully none of this will require surgery

Morning notes: Hopefully none of this will require surgery
The bulging disc in Brent Morel’s back won’t require surgery, putting him on much more of a week-to-week timeline in his recovery rather than month-to-month.  Since Robin Ventura is steadfast that Morel won’t lose his job due to injury, Orlando Hudson should be sure to keep sharp at all infield positions. However, the description of... Read more »

Delayed Rationalization - The Twins are back!

Delayed Rationalization - The Twins are back!
If only for the night, the terrorizing Twins returned to life in U.S. Cellular Field.  Either that, or it simply doesn’t matter what state of disarray their franchise is in, Minnesota will give the Sox trouble. It certainly holds true for Gavin Floyd.  His streak of eight straight losses against the Twins would sound like... Read more »

Lineup at a glance

Lineup at a glance
After a banner week, taking a cross-section of the White Sox hitters after the last seven games should be a blast. 1.  Alejandro De Aza – 8 for 27, 4 BB, 9 K, 5 R, RBI – Not much pop, and an interesting influx of strikeouts, but the rate he’s getting on base at makes... Read more »

Retaliation without the headache

Retaliation without the headache
When Paul Konerko fell to the ground clutching his bloodied face after being struck with a Jeff Samardzija splitter, it triggered a number of emotional responses, not all of which were extinguished by the pitcher’s apparent concern for the well-being of the White Sox captain. One of the long-cited benefits of National League play was... Read more »

Gordon's return

Gordon's return
Wednesday night made it three games in a row for Gordon Beckham batting in the #2 slot, and it’s fairly unlikely that it was accidental. There was a time where Beckham’s skill-set at the plate seemed to be made for the #2 hole, but the Sox have been waiting for him to hit enough to... Read more »

Instant Rationalization - The easiest night of the season

Instant Rationalization - The easiest night of the season
Jake Peavy at the height of his powers vs. Jeanmar Gomez doesn’t read as a fair match-up, but the White Sox offense hasn’t been great at providing a margin of error for their talented pitchers. After a long 1st inning home run by Adam Dunn provided a 2-0 lead, the possibility of a repeat emerged... Read more »

Instant Rationalization - There are no easy pleasures in Cleveland

An easy shutdown John Danks outing would have been just too easy of a way for the White Sox to stop their skid.  Not just because Danks skated by all night on hard hit outs, or because the Sox were felt comfortable nursing a 3-0 lead into the later innings while stranding 10 runners against...
