 Speaking With The Enemy
In anticipation of Monday’s Opener against the White Sox, I had a nice exchange with Jim Margalus, who pens the very entertaining Sox Machine , where we asked 10 questions of each other about the other’s team. The questions I asked of him (in bold) about his White Sox and his responses (obviously, following the bolded questions) are both informative and unflinchingly honest: Are the White ... [link]

Know Thine Enemy: 10 questions with an Indians blogger
Published 3/28/2008 by Jim at Sox Machine: Chicago White Sox blog
... , where he's currently tied for fourth in the AL East with the Curt Schilling-managed Boston Red Sox. You can find my answers to his questions here . 1. Is everybody over the ALCS yet? Being from Cleveland, it was almost a matter of just waiting for that other shoe to drop when the Tribe went up 3-1 in the ALCS. While the collapse didn’t contain that defining moment in time that puts Cleveland fans’ stomachs in knots (John Elway, Earnest Byner, some guy that wore #23, and Jose Mesa still have that market cornered), it was made more painful knowing that the Rockies were ...

Rolling into Cleveland…LET THE SEASON BEGIN!!!

Today, the Cleveland Indians play the Chicago White Sox at 3:05 ET, if the baseball gods can stop the rain. Of course, now that I said that, they probably will stop the rain, and start the snow. The Indians begin defense of the Central division crown against the White Sox, who fell into the depths of hell last season, after winning the world series in 2005. The Sox are an aging group...

Sox recap: Opening Day, Indians 10, White Sox 8
I’d like to do these as much as possible, but it’ll obviously be impossible for me to catch every game. If anyone out there is able to watch a full game and wants to write up a few bullet points like this (it doesn’t have to be this long), just email it to me and I’ll post it. - Don’t be worried about Buehrle. As South Side Sox points out, Buehrle has struggled against good teams his entire ...
Rough Start for Buehrle, Sox in Cleveland
It’s only one game into the season, but this season has already given White Sox fans about 10 losses worth of frustration. After rallying from a 7-2 deficit behind the surprisingly effective relief pitching of Nick Masset, the Sox had the bases loaded with no one out in the top of the eighth inning. Orlando Cabrera bounced a slow chopper to short but Joe Crede was able to avoid the ...
Opening Day War
Playing in the earliest home opener in Cleveland’s history, the White Sox came up short in a 10-8 loss against the Indians. After giving up seven runs in the second inning, the Sox battled back against reigning AL Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia and tied the game up at 7-7. Thome fueled the Sox with [...]

ODLB: Indians-White Sox Innings 1-3
On Opening Day last season, the Indians began their run to an AL Central division crown with a 12-5 drubbing of the White Sox at US Cellular Field. This year the season starts with the Indians and White Sox one more time, but this time, it's in Cleveland. The good news is that there's no snow in the forecast in Cleveland, so we don't have to worry about this one being snowed out like the ...

The closest thing you’ll get to a White Sox preview from me, part I
If you listened to the Sun-Times and Tribune for the past few months, you’d likely hear that the Sox’ offseason was a total disaster. The bad? Ken Williams signed Scott Linebrink for a ton of money and that was an incredibly stupid move. Octavio Dotel was signed for two years and a fair amount of money . That wasn’t bright either. (more…)
Indians series preview #1- Chicago White Sox
Division rival Chicago comes to town once again as the Tribe begins defense of the Central Division Championship. The White Sox made small headlines this winter by trading for SS Orlando Cabrera. The Sox gave up Jon Garland in the deal, and in my opinion may regret it later. Cabrera is certainly an upgrade defensively [...]

Divisional bragging rights will be on the line on Monday when the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians meet at Progressive Field.

Ryan Church got his glove on the ball as ...

Am I a Fantasy Homer? Daggum Right I am!
Cheering for your favorite team and your fantasy roster at the same time can be a maddeningly difficult thing to balance for many baseball fans. With a little help from my “when in doubt, draft a White Sox guy” strategy however, it’s never been too difficult for me. This year, for example, I wound up with Nick Swisher, Jermaine Dye, Mark Buehrle, Bobby Jenks, Joe Crede and Josh Fields (as ...
Softball Jersey Time for White Sox?
The big title to hit chicagosports.com this morning and spread to several other sites is that Nick Swisher will both bat leadoff and play centerfield . Sounds like the Sox will be closest thing to a major league softball team since the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies. The Sox might as well break out their softball style jerseys from late 70’s and early ‘80’s for the entire season. Let’s not ...
Foul Balls MLB Preview: Chicago White Sox
In our latest installment of our MLB previews here at Foul Balls we continue the now two day old tradition of getting other people to do my work for me.

That's why I turned to my friend and co-worker PostmanR of FanHouse, We Are The Postmen, Inside the
Swisher will bat leadoff and play center for White Sox
The Chicago White Sox acquired switch-hitter Nick Swisher last winter to provide production in the middle of the batting order and some swagger in a mild-mannered clubhouse according to the Chicago Tribune. Now the Sox are asking Swisher to become their leadoff batter and regular center fielder while Jerry Owens recovers from a right-groin tear. Manager Ozzie Guillen announced his plans ...

Despite four home runs by the White Sox, including two from Jim Thome and a grand slam from Alexei Ramirez, the Sox lost to the Brewers 12-10 in an offensive-dominated game. Gavin Floyd started the game for the Sox and had a very interesting day on the mound to say the least. He pitched five [...]
Attack of the Adductor
There's been some talk this spring from members of the White Sox organization and fans alike that this season is setting up a lot like the 2005 season. Nobody is expecting the White Sox to win the division against the mighty Tigers and Indians, and they think the Sox will sneak up and surprise everyone. I'm not exactly in step with this line of thinking. One very large part of the Sox'
