At least the White Sox were able to hit the ball today. Too bad it wasn't enough to get John Danks his first win of the season as the Sox closed out a 1-5 homestand with a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Danks had another quality start, giving up all three runs in eight innings of work. But it was the defense that failed him in the sixth inning when both Mark teahan and Paul Konerko broke to field a bunt from Matt Tolbert, allowing Tolbert to reach safely while advancing Denard Span to second. Span later scored on a Jason Kubel sacrifice fly. The White Sox have been unable to do any two things - pitching, hitting and fielding - right this season. And that's why they're at the bottom of the AL Central standings. more ›

The way the White Sox are hitting lately they could be no-hit in a t-ball league. more ›

The White Sox's AL Central rival Minnesota Twins are getting ready to move out of the HHH Metrodome and into the new Target Field, which boast such amenities as a view of the sky (they'll love that in April) and a field designed exclusively for baseball. A new commercial supposedly portrays the move, with movers unpacking a truck filled with bats, a World Series trophy and crate filled with Denard Span, Michael Cuddyer and a whole lot of foam peanuts. When a White Sox fan gets hauled off the truck, one of the movers exclaims, "Woah, Woah, Woah! Doesn't belong here..." before he gets tossed back on the truck. We Sox fans are tough so we can take the ribbing -- and the toss back into the truck. We just hope the Twins made sure to use lots of extra bubble wrap on Joe Crede, because he's extremely fragile.

The White Sox pitching staff has apparently run out of gas. Another night and another game thrown away by the club's lack of pitching. While the Sox hitters have finally begun to produce runs again, the club's woes on the mound meant that for the second straight night, the White Sox were unable to capitalize on an opportunity to gain ground on the Minnesota Twins in the race for the AL Central. Their pitching staff again allowed double digit run totals on the way to a 12-6 loss to the Cleveland Indians. more ›

After weeks of negotiations and a supposed stalemate that looked likely to end his White Sox career, Mark Buerhle and the Sox came to an agreement Sunday on a four-year, $56 million deal that will end all trade speculation about the lefty ace. more ›

This is not a fun time to be a baseball fan in Chicago. Whether a White Sox or Cubs fan, you no doubt have that sinking feeling about your team's prospects for the postseason after they were swept this week. The Cubs lost 9-0 to the Florida Marlins on Wednesday, following a day full of meetings. The players held one. So did management. Didn't help, at least on Wednesday. The players felt they needed to... more ›

We'd known this day was coming, yet we remained in denial. We distracted ourselves with the Bears and hoped we'd suddenly hear some pleasantly unexpected news. Instead, we learn that the White Sox are offically out of the playoff hunt on account of their 14-1 loss to Cleveland Monday night. Earlier in the evening, the Minnesota Twins beat the KC Royals 8-1, cutting their magic number to one. The Sox loss changed it to... more ›

In less than 20 hours, the White Sox salvaged what was looking like an ugly series, and one that could have ended all hope for winning the AL Central title. more ›

Hall of Fame baseball player and Chicago native Kirby Puckett died at 45 on Monday, one day after suffering a massive stroke. His life, like his career, was cut short. He was forced to retire from baseball in 1996 because of glaucoma. In his twelve seasons with the Minnesota Twins, he hit .318 with 207 home runs and 1085 RBIs. He made 10 consecutive All-Star Game appearances and won 6 Gold Glove awards for his... more ›

Chicagoist still remembers hearing of a hot prospect getting called up to the White Sox in 1990 and rememebrs being in the right field stands at the old Comiskey Park about 20 feet away from a ball that was THIS CLOSE to going out for his first major league homer. He'd end up hitting 7 during that late-season call-upon his way to 448 in a Sox uniform. So it's really hard to believe that following a 16 year run on with the White Sox, Frank Thomas is gone. The team cut ties with the future Hall of Famer on Wednesday by not offering him salary arbitration, making him a free agent. Thomas had spent his entire career on the South Side -- one of the rare players who had remained with their original team for more than 10 years. more ›

Are the Sox on the verge of an epic choke even larger than that of the legendary '69 Cubs? That team held an 8 1/2 lead over the Cardinals and 9 1/2 game lead over the Mets on August 14th. By August 31st, that lead was down to 4 games. By September 10th, the Mets were in first place and finished the season up 8 games by virtue of their 24-8 finish. more ›

Chicagoist was accused last week of too much Cubs coverage, which we found amusing seeing as we're a Sox fan. While the Northside team may have been more newsworthy, the Southsiders have quietly been one of the best stories of this young season. With a 10-4 record, they have the best record in the AL and the second best in all of Major League Baseball. more ›
