Weep Not For Gordon Beckham

Okay, he could’ve ... (more) Weep Not For Gordon Beckham
Pretty Good As Gold
sox35th.com — Several years ago, at the height of Ron Santo’s Hall of Fame-related tantrum-throwing, I made the argument that Santo’s five Gold Gloves meant almost nothing due to their general irrelevance to true fielding ability and how more often than not they’re more reflective of a ...

Sure, the club is considerably worse off now than it ... (more) How to Fix the White Sox In One Fell Swoop
The Hatred and Hilarity in Game One of the 2009 World Series
sox35th.com — I. I love love LOVE when they show Nick Swisher’s numbers for the 2009 season, but I hold an extra-special fondness for the context Joe Buck et al either refuse to admit or simply would rather ignore. Example: Nick Swisher was second in the American League in walks with 91, which is a ... (more) The Hatred and Hilarity in Game One of the 2009 World Series
That Was Then And This Is Not

You may or may not have also heard both of the expected responses to such an ... (more) More Like The End Of Sports Encapsulation
Jumping Someone Else’s Train: Your 2009 NLCS and ALCS Previews
sox35th.com — I don’t blame you for not noticing, but the Championship Series kick off tomorrow in the National League and Friday in the American League.

Four Incredibly Short Essays About Dewayne Wise
sox35th.com — I. In the end, did it matter who hit leadoff and played center? Was any other option really that much better? To put it another way, was a one-dimensional player going to help a team so desperately in need of help on all fronts? Was there really that much of a difference between the ...
