When it comes to second basemen in Chicago, defense has always been a key component. The White Sox had the first ever AL Gold Glove winner at second base in Nellie Fox, who won it three times, while the Cubs had Ryne Sandberg win nine consecutive NL Gold Glove awards....

Just a couple days ago, GSB! discussed how Paul Konerko possibly landing on the 7-day DL could be a blessing in disguise. On Friday, he did indeed get placed on the DL, as he’ll be able to rest up and come back with no concussion questions and ready to go for...

Wednesday night I went to the Sox game and watched our team get shut down by the Royals, losing the rubber match of the series. After the game, probably in an attempt to cheer myself up, I treated myself to a Chris Sale jersey-shirt. I like to buy one a year to slowly...

– As I’ve said before, it’s a different hero every game with this Sox team. Tonight, it was Jordan Danks’ turn for the first time this year and the first time in his young career. His bomb off former Twins set-up man Pat Neshek was a no-doubter, and it sent Sox...

Tuesday night Sox “captain” and first baseman Paul Konerko was hit in the head by baserunner Jarrod Dyson, and experienced some discomfort throughout the rest of the game, but did finish out the contest. Manager Robin Ventura sat him on Wednesday so he...

– Boy, It was just a frustrating game tonight. There’s really no other way to put it. Sure, the team was without Paul Konerko and Alex Rios, but you expect the team to score more than zero runs off of Jeremy Guthrie. He is far from a good pitcher, and tonight,...

Monday night was a good comeback win late for the Sox, and Tuesday was a disappointing late loss for the team as Jake Peavy just didn’t have enough in the 7th inning. Tonight it’s Jeremy Guthrie taking on Jose Quintana, in what I think will actually be an...

This game was indeed a pitchers duel, despite the final box score not completely pointing to that. Through five innings, the game was tied at 1 a piece, before the Sox took the lead in the bottom of the 6th, only to see the Royals come right back in the top of the 7th...

For pretty much his entire career, AJ Pierzynski has been known as a guy who has one of the best baseball IQs in the game, has the demeanor and confidence that irks opposing teams and relishes in the idea of being hated by opposing fans and being the most hated player...
