Chicago White Sox

There haven't been many pitchers who have slowed down the Chicago White Sox as of late, but Zack Greinke has shown in the past to be quite capable of such a task.

By scotgreg Selfishly, the Sox wouldn't mind if Buehrle rested over the break, but that's not going to happen. And Buehrle is probably going to get a standing ovation when he takes the mound in the July 14 All-Star Game since it's being played in his hometown (St. Louis).

Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye drove in two runs apiece, Chicago chased Cleveland ace Cliff Lee in the fourth inning and the White Sox pounded the miserable Indians 11-4 in a game called in the seventh inning on Tuesday night to move above .500 for the first time since May 2.

It hasn't been the greatest week for Cubs manager Lou Piniella. Not only is he feeling the heat of the Chicago media with the Cubs scuffling, but he's also gotten into an argument with Milton Bradley in which he called his right fielder a "piece of [expletive]." Regardless of whether the exch...

By U-God May 13, 1957- Billy Pierce and some angling equipment February 28, 1966- Both Chicago teams get new managers, ours is named Stanky. June 12, 1972- Dick Allen is a badass.  I neither smuggle nor smoke and here he combines the two in a place I'll never be, a major league dugout.

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]

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.
