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.

5th starter vacancy prompts roster shuffle
This Chris Sale kid is really causing some problems Since his move to the bullpen, the White Sox have had to take an unflattering look into their starter depth.  After RHP Dylan Axelrod nibbled and labored his way through 4.1 so-so innings Sunday, he was immediately optioned to Charlotte.  In turn, the team will take...

Feeling any better about Chris Sale?

Feeling any better about Chris Sale?
A day removed from the surprising announcement that his time as a starter was over, Chris Sale sounded a bit less forlorn. “I’m not as down as I was yesterday,” Sale said. “I still have a great opportunity to pitch and do what I love to do. That’s playing Major League Baseball. The adrenaline that gets... Read more »

Chris Sale is not the next White Sox ace after all

Chris Sale is not the next White Sox ace after all
Chris Sale’s time in the starting rotation has reached an abrupt end, as it was announced before Friday’s game by Robin Ventura–with lots of help from Cooper– that he’s moving to the bullpen to become the new closer.  For the rest of the season, at least. The surprising move comes with equally surprising revelations behind... Read more »

Crain is still mending, Peavy is perfect?

Crain is still mending, Peavy is perfect?
Jesse Crain’s bullpen session Thursday didn’t go so well. He was supposed to throw off a mound, but was limited to 20 throws from flat ground.  He was hoping to avoid a rehab stint–as most major leaguers do not enjoy even fleeting experiences of being minor leaguers again–but he’s still feeling pain two weeks removed...

Jesse Crain's oblique is inconvenient

Jesse Crain's oblique is inconvenient
After a right oblique strain in Spring Training dragged him out of what was apparently a very wide open closer race, Jesse Crain is having trouble with the same muscle, but on his left side this time.  He’s been out since Friday, which has led to the current stretched situation where Nate Jones finds himself...

White Sox enter 2012 with a notable advantage
Want to see something pretty? Look at this.
