Could Konerko have handled the double duty? We'd like to think so. more ›

The White Sox played like they deserved to be buyers with Sunday's trade deadline looming. more ›

While it was a travesty that he was left off the initial AL All-Star roster given his top-five ranking in all three Triple Crown categories, Paul Konerko finally earned his spot on the team Thursday. Fans picked Paulie in the Final Vote, where the White Sox first baseman beat out Victor Martinez, Alex Gordon, Adam Jones and Ben Zobrist. Konerko received 8.4 million votes, but joked, "There were definitely some multiple voters. My mom was probably a million of them." For the NL, Phillies' center fielder Shane Victorino won the fan vote. more ›

White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko homered and DH Adam Dunn doubled twice for the Sox, but it was not enough as they fell to the Oakland Athletics 6-2 Saturday afternoon. Things aren't much better with the North Siders, but then again they didn't get enough time to muster any sort of rally. In six innings due to rain, the Chicago Cubs were shut out by the San Francisco Giants 3-0 Saturday night. more ›

The White Sox have found themselves in a serious slump and eyes have been turning to slugger Adam Dunn, who really hasn't been much of a slugger as of late. However, it's how he plays the game, it's only May. The South Side DH is about to kick into full gear. more ›

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 ›

Trouble arose on the North and South Sides of Chicago as neither of our beloved teams could pull out a win. The Cubs suffered a hard-to-watch 12-2 loss to the Dodgers while the White Sox one again got our hopes up with a multi home-run game but fell in Detroit 9-3. more ›

Things turned around on the North Side as the Cubs brought their bats in an 8-3 win over the Rockies. Despite two home runs, the White Sox couldn't keep up with the Angels in a 7-2 loss Saturday. more ›

It appears as though the Cubs left their bats at home in another matchup v.s Milwaukee, falling 6-0 as Phil Humber, while the White Sox pulled out a 4-2 win over the Rays Saturday. more ›

The Kansas City Royals are to the White Sox as the Pittsburgh Pirates are to the Cubs. That held true last night in the Sox' 7-6 loss. Starter Gavin Floyd gave up four runs through seven innings and had a two-run lead when he turned the game over to the bullpen, who promptly blew the game. Chris Sale gave up a two-run home run to Billy Butler, sending the game into extra innings. Melky Cabrera's RBI single off Tony Pena in the 12th inning sealed the Royals' fourth come-from behind victory of the season. The White Sox bats kept pounding out runs. Paul Konerko jacked a three-run shot and Alexei Ramirez hit an RBI triple. White Sox slugger Adam Dunn had an emergency appendectomy and will miss at least five games. more ›

It was a disappointing day for baseball in Chicago as the Sox seemed to relapse and lose their bats in a 7-1 loss to Cleveland and the Cubs lost their first series of the season after a 5-4 loss to the Pirates. more ›

Men want to be him. Women want their men to be like him. Jerry Reinsdorf and Kenny Williams didn't want him in a Baltimore Orioles uniform. Either way you look at it, the White Sox and Paul Konerko got it done, agreeing to a 3-year, $37.5 million deal with the proverbial shit-ton of money deferred through 2020. more ›

Kane Out Three Weeks: That knee injury Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane suffered during Sunday night's game against Calgary (which the NHL is inexplicably listing as a "lower body injury") will keep the All-Star out for three weeks, maybe more. Jeremy Morin has been recalled again from Rockford to fill out the roster. The good news in all this is that Marian Hossa could return as early as this weekend. more ›

The White Sox cut ties to another piece of the 2005 World Series team when they non-tendered the contract of closer Bobby Jenks. The decision effectively closes the door on Jenks's career on the South Side and wasn't unexpected. One of the things GM Kenny Williams and skipper Ozzie Guillen could agree on last season was that they were unhappy with Jenks's conditioning, which they felt led to his extended stints on the disabled list the past couple of seasons. more ›

It was quite an All-Star Game last night for Major League Baseball as the National League defeated the American League 3-1, the NL's first win in the Midsummer Classic since 1996 (and including that tie in 2002). And both a Cub and White Sox (White Sock?) figured in the decision. After the round-about way he made it onto the roster, the Sox' Paul Konerko was largely silent, entering the game as a pinch-hitter in the sixth and going 0-for-2. But the not, at least from a local stand-point, belonged to the Cubs' Marlon Byrd and (in a more unfortunate way) the Sox' Matt Thornton. With two on and one out in the NL top of the seventh, Thornton was brought in, recorded an out, and then faced Byrd. Byrd fell behind 0-2, battled back to 3-2, fought off a pair of fouls, and then drew the walk to load the bases. The next batter, Brian McCann, doubled off of Thornton, knocking in all three runners and putting the NL down the road to their first victory in 14 years. more ›
