Giants Marshall Resources Against Sean, Defeat Cubs 6-2
Sean Marshall made one mistake today, and that was basically the game, because the mistake was deposited into the left-field bleachers by Bengie Molina with two men on base and gave the Giants a 3-0 lead before the Cubs had even batted. In that first inning, the other two runners reached on a...
White Sox Should Opt for Center Field-less Lineup
A majority of this post was written while watching the Texas Finale Sunday night So I'm not exactly able to recap Sunday's game in a timely manner. But as I'm sitting here watching John Danks struggle with his location and lamenting a lineup full of 2007-esque roster-fodder, I wonder if trying...
White Sox Week in Review
A look back at the week that was in White Sox baseball Opening Day got pushed back due to snow. Jim Thome hit a late-inning homer to give the Sox a victory on delayed opening day Gavin Floyd pitched well, but Zack Greinke pitched better as the Sox got shutout for the first time this year...
White Sox Offense Absent in April, Again
The White Sox offense has scored 5 runs in 3 games this season. The only reason we're not talking about a sweep, or 3 blowouts, is that Sox pitching has allowed only 2 run in each of the 3 games. There comes a point when you have to stop giving credit to opposing pitchers and look in the mirror...

White Sox Still Searching for Leadoff Man
In a development no one could have foreseen, the combined sucking sound coming from the White Sox center field candidates has Ozzie Guillen pulling names from a hat in his latest search to fill the Sox as-yet-to-be-claimed leadoff spot. The weakness has become so glaring it has lead at least one...
White Sox Searching for Leadoff Man
Real Need is a Major League Center Fielder There's no denying that Jerry Owens is well on his way to playing himself off the White Sox opening day roster with his predictably lackluster spring performance. Earlier in the week Ozzie said Owens was "fighting for his job," and Wednesday Kenny...
Can Chris Getz Help Rid Us of Jerry Owens?
Earlier this off-season, I posed the question Which Newcomer's Performance Will Be The Most Key To The Sox '09 Campaign? At the time, I expected the winner of the accompany poll would be Jerry Owens. After all, the key to the Sox season has to be the lack of a leadoff hitter, right? But you...
