By larry The White Sox originally sent a bunch of junk to pitch in the AFL.  Two junk removals have provided opportunities to a couple interesting guys. One, Sergio Santos, is simply that: interesting.  A former first round pick of the Diamondbacks as a high school SS, he spent 7 seasons in the minors,...

Reports that claimed the Royals have agreed to send outfielder Mark Teahen to the Chicago White Sox for second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman/outfielder Josh Fields have not yet been verified.

By BY CHRIS DE LUCA cdeluca@suntimes.com NEW YORK -- With his gig as a World Series analyst for Fox coming to a close, Ozzie Guillen suddenly found himself Wednesday thinking about his real job as White Sox manager.

By Masterr73 The Sox need to make moves this off seasonif they hope to compete in the 2010 season. The rotation is fine with Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, and Garcia-Hudson. The bullpen is shaky, the Sox need to add a setup man and a middle reliever. I would like to see the Sox trade Jenks and dump that contrac...

By BY JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com It's over. That was the best news Ozzie Guillen could hear concerning the 2009 season. ''Hell, [bleep] yes,'' the White Sox manager replied when asked if he was glad that the 5-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers was the final game for the Sox.

By Joe Cowley As far as the rainout, the Sox and Indians will play a doubleheader on Wednesday, with Carlos Torres pitching in Game 1 and then Mark Buehrle in Game 2. Jake Peavy has been bumped to Friday, getting the start in Detroit against the Tigers.

By Andrew Reilly Anyway, as much fun as it is to bemoan the less-than-stellar output of the $68 million, two-time All-Star* and fifth-best rookie** of 2004, can anyone really get too upset over that heinous 13-for-97 start to Rios’ Hall of Fame run on the South Side? Bizarre feelings of entitlement to the...

Even with Michael Young hurt, the Rangers have been staying in the playoff hunt. On Saturday afternoon, I was back for yet another appearance on the Alex Reimer Show on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, and this week the focus of the discussion centred on the playoff aspirations of the Boston Red Sox.

Sergio Mitre shook off the rust and pitched sharply before getting struck by a line drive in the seventh inning, combining with Chad Gaudin on a one-hitter as the New York Yankees routed the slumping Chicago White Sox 10-0 Saturday.

The brainchild of the WLUP disc jockey Dahl and White Sox owner Bill Veeck's son Mike, the idea was to have a death to disco movement between games of a Detroit Tigers-Sox doubleheader at Comiskey Park in 1979, but it quickly turned into what amounted to a mob scene, culminating in a bonfire...

By Andrew Reilly To revisit any of these moments is to at first say “man, that was awesome,” and then remember what actually happened right after that play or, more often than not, curse at what didn’t.

By Chris De Salvo Saturday, September 27, 2008 These Sox Don’t Seem to Fit While it may be difficult to surmise the impact of the Sox’ third straight Metrodome loss last night, it’s certainly not the lasting impression most would deem worthy of post-season berth. ''I'm sick of [bleep]ing losing,'' A.J. Pierzynski said. ''It sucks, but we're still alive. Hopefully, we go home and win four games and we kick their ass on Tuesday.'' Yeah, Okay. While there is a part of me that agrees with the catcher’s rhetoric, there still had to be part of him that felt he was lying through his teeth. Sweeping the Indians (who, despite having no chance at making the playoffs, hate the White Sox just as much as the Twins) is far from a sure thing. Then again, that’s what we thought about eith...   [read the full post]

By Andrew Kneeland(noreply@blogger.com) While Chicago goes on to face Wild-Card leading Boston Red Sox, Minnesota has to deal with below-average Oakland. Sound easy?

CHICAGO A.J. Pierzynski hit a single that hopped past Detroit shortstop Carlos Guillen, allowing the goahead run to score in the eighth inning Tuesday night, as the Chicago White Sox rallied for an 87 win over the Tigers to sweep a daynight doubleheader.

The Chicago White Sox lefthander faced the minimum 27 batters in a 60 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, picking off the only runner he walked and throwing the first nohitter of the major league season.
