Mark Buehrle became the first White Sox pitcher
since Joe Horlen in 1967 to throw a no-hitter
at home, and the first in USCF history. He was tantalizingly close to pitching the 18th perfect game in major league history. A 5th inning walk to Sammy Sosa ...

acquired switch-hitting outfielder Nick Swisher from the Oakland Athletics
in exchange for three minor league players, pitcher Gio Gonzalez, pitcher Fautino De Los Santos and outfielder Ryan Sweeney. The ...

John Danks held the Twins' Piranhas in check
during his first major league start. It was the
big fish -- the Sharks -- that bit him in the deciding 4th inning. Danks, who told anyone and everyone that he wasn't nervous entering his first big league outing, looked just the opposite during his first two innings of work.

With Mark Buehrle's future up in the air,
I made a special effort to be on hand
for what could turn out to be his final outing in a White Sox uniform. I pulled a few strings -- the only strings I know -- and scored 1 great seat behind the screen, ...

Following the 2004 season, back before this place
existed, I took part in a series of heated
discussions about whether the White Sox should pursue Orlando Cabrera. I was adamantly against it, as the Sox had Juan Uribe, who I felt was every bit the ...

Our favorite Spanish language paper seems to be
reporting that the White Sox have reached a preliminary
agreement with Bartolo Colon , pending physical.

There has been talk that the Dodgers, who
have an increasingly ineffective Nomar Garciapara and the injured
Andy LaRoche ( out 8-10 weeks ) at 3B, have expressed interest in the Tigers' displaced 3B Brandon Inge. Like Robothal , I struggled to see how ...

"We haven't been afraid to push the envelope
as far as we can with regards to our
payroll. The only edict that I have been given is we don't want to lose money. We want to break even, but we want to try to win a championship in the process. There have been many occasions I have been over budget to do that."

Before the Sox left for Oakland, Ozzie Guillen
stated that he had a good feeling about the
road trip despite the teams 4-24 slump in whatever they're calling the Coliseum now. On Tuesday night, he managed like he had luck on his side... and it came back to bite him. Jon Garland used all of Ozzie's luck to get through 7 innings without yielding a run, and I seriously don't know how he did it.

It was another night of firsts Thursday at
US Cellular Field. Joe Crede hit his first extra-base
knock of the season. AJ Pierzynski and Rob Mackowiak each hit their first HR and recorded their first (real) RBI of the year. Previously, AJ had the walk-off HBP, but I hardly count that as an RBI. Jim Thome walked 5 times in a game for the first time in his career, tying a White Sox team ...

Ozzie on Alex Rodriguez: [ Toni Ginnetti ]
"This kid can play. It's a shame when you're
that good and everything that happens in New York, they blame him. When you make money and you're the best in anything, whatever happens around you, they'll blame ...

The White Sox have now been shut out
the most times in the American League. They rank
last in batting average, hits, runs, RBI, and extra base hits. They've had almost 100 fewer at-bats with RISP than any other team in the AL, and rank last in OPS ...

According to a recent piece on ChiSox.com ,
Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson is credited with having been
the first player to use a batting glove. Wikipedia, citing The Dickson Baseball Dictionary , confirms the the story. However, there's an obvious ...

Even if you hadn't heard the rumors originally
reported by Bruce Levine last week, you had to
figure that Ozzie Guillen was far more likely to be given a contract extension than be shown the door. You see, the first part of this story is about Jerry ...

After looking at the White Sox Pitch Type
Data for the returning starting pitchers, I decided to
see if we could learn anything from the available pitch type data for our hitters. Well, just Josh Fields for now, but I plan on expanding that in the ...

Let's forget for a moment that leadoff hitter
is not a position or that Ozzie and Kenny
(generally) say they just want a leadoff man who gets on base. Their actions, as observed and relayed by the three local media-type bloggers, speak exponentially ...

Joe Cowley has a ridiculously high opinion of
Jerry Owens . In an article where he proclaims
Owens the Sox center fielder, Juan Uribe the second baseman, and Josh Fields their starting third baseman, Cowley writes: "If speed kills, Owens is a serial ...

It appears that the White Sox have placed
Juan Uribe on irrevocable waivers , though we shouldn't
expect any confirmation of such until he has been claimed or passed through them completely, as they are supposed to be confidential. By rule, the White ...

It would be easy to say that Gavin
Floyd got rocked in his final spring training start
of the year. I don't know what my reaction would have been had I been able to watch the game in a form other than MLB's Gameday. But I can say this for certain, ...
