It’s hard to believe that just three months ago, White Sox rookie shortstop Tim Anderson’s name was just a blip on the radar of every White Sox fan’s mind. A piece of the future that was near, but they weren’t sure how near. But now it’s hard to remember a time before Anderson. Tyler Saladino […]

Goodbye Is For The Best, Fulmer
As the calendar has rapidly approached the second half of August with September on the horizon, baseball has nearly reached the official checkpoint of every MLB season when teams make their “September callups”. The feeling is in the air, with folks already seeing Braves top prospect Dansby Swanson making his major league debut on Wednesday, and next White […]
What’s really happening in the James Shields dilemma?
James Shields has been one of the many unfortunate blunders that the 2016 White Sox have endured. From giving up three home runs in his first two innings of work with his new team, to just this past weekend when Shields surrendered a season-high four home runs to the power-hitting Baltimore Orioles — it’s been a […]
Schedule makers can’t bear the blame for the Sox demise
When an organization waves the white flag before the trade deadline has even begun, the team can’t simply just quit. There’s a whole two and a half months of baseball left to play, and that notion becomes taxing on everyone involved with the team. From the front office, to the broadcast booth, to the fans; […]
What Clicked For Miguel Gonzalez In July?
There certainly hasn’t been a lot to smile about on the South side recently. Watching the White Sox has been just short of painful many nights, which tends to drown out the positive aspect of certain things such as “Hey, look over there! Miguel Gonzalez has been really consistent lately!” That’s been quite a truism as […]
The Notion of Being Mired in Mediocrity
When White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn met with the media on Thursday, the words he would speak felt long overdue to most, but somehow still so unexpected. “Mired in mediocrity.” The words were perfect, and made me feel both heartbroken and as though someone understood what I’d been seeing for years. Coming from White […]
Where Are They Now?
White Sox fans have long suffered the plight of watching this organization start players that the baseball world at large knows are best suited for other roles. You can only stretch one player so far, and you certainly can’t ask more of him than which he’s capable. Yet many of these “unsuccessful” White Sox players […]
Jay Bruce: Something Better Than Avisail Garcia
Let’s play a little game. Let’s say you’re the GM of a team that, due to unfortunate injury circumstances, is looking to start a new outfielder to take up a vacated position. You would like to this player’s profile to be typical for a corner, meaning that he can hit for a decent amount of […]
Oh, right. Never fear, for Justin Morneau is here. Or something.
In case you haven’t gathered, my title is a little bit of a) sarcasm and b) reflective of the genuine surprise I felt when I remembered that, hey, Justin Morneau is now a member of the Chicago White Sox. Well, not yet. We will wind up having to wait six weeks for his glorious debut on […]
Anderson’s Future in the Spotlight is Now
Tim Anderson is not a hero. He’s not a savior. He’s simply a 22-year-old shortstop that found himself receiving his first call-up to the major leagues during a turbulent time for an organization. The haze of desperation currently covering the White Sox will distort the image of any aid it receives from its possible shortstop of […]
