July 21: Tigers 7 White Sox 1

The Tigers bounced Chris Sale and the White Sox Saturday afternoon to move 1/2 game ahead of the south siders in the AL Central standings. It’s the first time in a while that the Sox have not been in 1st place, and the first time in even longer that the Tigers...

White Sox Acquire Brett Myers from Astros

The White Sox have acquired righty Brett Myers (and cash) from the Houston Astros. In exchange, Sox GM Kenny Williams is shipping prospects Matt Heidenreich, Blair Walters and a player to be named later to the Astros. The deal became official around 2:30 CT Saturday...

July 20: Tigers 4 White Sox 2

Losing to Justin Verlander is nothing to hang your heads over, but after the heart-breaking loss in Boston Thursday evening, it really feels like we should be. Luckily for me, there’s not a whole lot to say about the game that got the Tigers to within 1/2 game...

Series Preview: White Sox at Tigers July 20-22

A game and a half.  That is what the White Sox lead is over the Tigers in the AL Central heading into the weekend series in Detroit. The Tigers, who were left for dead by their fans a month ago, have gotten red hot and have closed the gap in the division thanks to a...

July 19: Red Sox 3 White Sox 1

Going in to the game, we knew pitching at Fenway Park would be another tough test for rookie south paw Jose Quintana, as he was asked to build upon his impressive resume. Two of the first three games of the series had gone to the Red Sox, as they were looking for a...

July 18: Red Sox 10 White Sox 1

– A tough one to watch, but don’t get too caught up in this one. When you lose a spot start that bad, you just pretty much take it as a grain of salt. It’s not like the Sox are going to count on Pedro Hernandez for the rest of the season for anything. Obviously,...

July 17: White Sox 7 Red Sox 5

The story of the game tonight was Phil Humber. Robin’s crew needs someone to step up in the rotation, and if Humber can give us quality starts like he did tonight and command his pitches, that will be more than enough. It was great to see him right the ship after a...

July 16: Red Sox 5 White Sox 1; Injury Woes Continue

I’ll keep the wrap of last night’s game brief, because there’s obviously a lot of off-the-field stuff to discuss. – I know it was disappointing seeing Leyson Septimo come in and pathetically waste Axelrod’s great start, but it comes with...
