 Twins: Mauer foils Floyd's no-hit bid
Twins: Mauer foils Floyd's no-hit bid
One word sums up how the Chicago White Sox felt when they arrived at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday: embarrassed. They were coming off an 0-6 road trip and trying to explain a lewd clubhouse gimmick involving blow-up dolls this past weekend in Toronto.

Gavin Floyd Hearts Unearned Runs
There was only one group of people happy with Gavin Floyd's pitching performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday: those who own him in fantasy baseball leagues. That's because he was only charged with giving up one run in his start yesterday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite really giving up seven runs.

The “Scouts” versus “Stats Debate and Gavin Floyd’s Curveball
I have a sneaky suspicion that analysts that claim to glean information from scouting are essentially making things up.

Few if any bloggers have any experience in scouting. None that I know of attended the scouting school, and the idea that you ...

Frankly, life good right now for Williams
There's no noise pollution or contrived testosterone in the air, just a b.s.-free commitment to focus, surprisingly good pitching and winning. Not long ago, Williams cracked wise about his intense approach to his job and said, "Maybe I'm just not a happy person." Well, at the moment, life is one big Zoloft pill for the 24/7 general manager. The Sox are leading the American League Central, ...

 Earthquake, Orioles rock Illinois
Earthquake, Orioles rock Illinois
A seismic event measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale struck Illinois early Friday , following an equally rumbly White Sox loss in Baltimore that measured 6-5 in 10. “The earthquake didn’t do any harm, but the loss to the Orioles sure did,” said Dr. Willard T.
