Kenny Williams insists upon re-building the Kenny Williams way

Kenny Williams insists upon re-building the Kenny Williams way
Kenny Williams is willing to shed some of his regulars in exchange for some young, cheap talent.  However, he’d appreciate it if that cheap talent came major-league ready. “Williams admitted that the offers might not be overwhelming.”  I’ll say. There’s a temptation to rail on about how Williams’ complete unwillingness to sacrifice the immediate  for... Read more »

Are the White Sox worth saving?

Are the White Sox worth saving?
If approached at my seat during the top of the 3rd–right after two pop-ups had been deposited on the short outfield grass by the White Sox defense–I might have been encouraged to say “Eh, not really”.  However, By the end of the evening, the White Sox had rallied on the Tigers thanks to a man...

The best start of the year comes from...Jake Peavy

The best start of the year comes from...Jake Peavy
Yes, you can notice from the seats behind him that people were at the Bulls game // Scott Strazzante, Chicago Tribune Things are still coming preposterously hard for the Chicago White Sox; to the point where it’s no longer unreasonable to start hoping out loud for a 22 year-old with negligible plate discipline to save...

Gavin Floyd makes his first start, his curveball? Eh, maybe next week

White Sox player wrap-ups - Daniel Hudson

Sometimes the only picture of you big enough for a title line is a shot of you looking like you can’t stand the smell of the dugout. As much as I admittedly am charmed by the “We’re All-In” slogan, it’s a bit of a misnomer because…it’s not really new.  Maybe the White Sox aren’t going... Read more »
