In addition to the moves Benjy mentioned earlier today, the White Sox also managed to lock down pitcher Gavin Floyd to a new four-year deal worth $15.5 million; the contract includes an option for 2013 that would bump the total cost to over $25 million. The contract breaks down like so:

The city of Chicago landed both of our teams in the postseason for the first time since the Teddy Roosevelt administration, and all we got was one stinkin' win before both teams' fortunes sunk quicker than Wall Street. On Monday night, the White Sox saw their season come to a close after losing to the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 at the Cell.

The White Sox found yet another way to lose to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, losing 7-6 in 10 innings despite jumping out to an early 6-1 lead. With this series sweep, the Twins leapfrogged over the Sox to gain possession of first place in the AL Central, meaning the South Siders are currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

For the second time this week, the White Sox pulled out their brooms. With last night's 3-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, the Sox swept the series, after sweeping the Giants earlier in the week.

Coming off their 2005 World Series title, the White Sox won 90 games but missed the playoffs — in spite of a number of roster upgrades during the offseason. Did Kenny Williams tinker too much with the chemistry that won them a title in '05? Last year's team never seemed to find its rhythm. On the North Side, the Cubs climbed ever closer to that...

The Cubs and White Sox have been getting in baseball shape down in Arizona for the past couple weeks, and for the most part it's been a pretty quiet Spring Training for both clubs. Other than Kerry Wood's hot tub incident, and Ozzie's recent war of words with former pitcher Brandon McCarthy, the spring has been pretty quiet. Really quiet, actually. Sunday, however, things got a little more raucous as the White Sox and Cubs...

Both of our baseball teams made some noise involving pitching on Wednesday at MLB's Winter Meetings, with the Cubs signing a high-priced free agent, while the White Sox traded away one of their starters. The Cubs signed Ted Lilly to a 4-year, $40 million deal — with Jim Hendry in the hospital, no less! "Jim was hooked up to an EKG machine, and we got it done," Lilly's agent explained. Hendry had been admitted to...
