Morning notes: More Orlando Hudson mania continues, for better or for worse

Morning notes: More Orlando Hudson mania continues, for better or for worse
Tuesday was Orlando Hudson’s first official day on the roster–and Brent Morel’s first on the DL–and he managed to get his feet wet.  O-Dog got in at the end of the blowout, singled, scored, and made a somewhat erratic throw to 1st on his only defensive chance.  He’ll probably start Wednesday, barring Eduardo Escobar going...

Morning notes: Crosstown series looms

Morning notes: Crosstown series looms
The crosstown series starts this Friday.  It’s still sponsored by BP, which is one year closer to being a fact they don’t have to de-emphasize out of embarrassment. Both the Cubs and Sox have losing records and rather mundane future outlooks, so the running narrative is that the rivalry is unimportant and lifeless now.  That... 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 »

5th starter vacancy prompts roster shuffle

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...

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...

Even though he only... 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 »

Catching up - Saturday White Sox news and notes

Catching up - Saturday White Sox news and notes
To account for a day spent away from the internet, let’s try to play catch-up on recent events So much for an extra day for Jesse Crain’s oblique. He was added to the 15-day disabled list Friday, which is more like adding him to the 8-day disabled list because he’s been inactive for the last... Read more »

Instant Rationalization - Red Sox bludgeon America's Sweetheart, White Sox

Instant Rationalization - Red Sox bludgeon America's Sweetheart, White Sox
It was wondered whether the combination of moving forward from the cathartic punch of a perfect game, spending the week dealing with frenzied press coverage and the birth of his child, and transitioning from facing a crappy offense in a brilliant pitcher’s park to facing a good offense in a band box might have some...
