After dealing with the gut punch that was Luis Robert going down with a torn hip flexor for 12-16 weeks, the White Sox marched on to Cincinnati to start a brief two-game series with the Reds. They handed the ball to Dylan Cease, fresh off his best outing in the bigs, and he somehow outdid […]
LET’S PUT SOME CATCH-UP ON THIS DOG: Cubs Drop Series to Brewers, Braves, Reds
Who can forget those halcyon days when the Chicago Cubs swept the New York Mets, and it looked like the ship was righted as the Cubs reached .500? It’s hard to believe that was a mere 19 days ago. Since then, the Cubs have hosted the Milwaukee Brewers before travelling to Atlanta and Cincinnati, losing […]
TIGER TAMERS — Sox Sweep Twinbill to Take Series from Detroit
After dropping the series opener in a game they should have won when the Tigers committed *FIVE* errors and getting rained out Wednesday, the White Sox took both ends of a doubleheader to take 2 out of 3 from the Tigers heading into a 3 game weekend set with Cleveland. In the opener on Tuesday, […]
Krausencast Episode 15
Another exciting Krausencast. This one was as much about the Negro Leaguers playing in the Dominican as much as the current Cubs, which makes for a much better listen.
MESSING WITH TEXAS — White Sox Sweep Rangers In Weekend 3-Game Set
The White Sox have finally put together a winning streak and are now above .500 after sweeping the Texas Rangers out of Chicago Sunday on the South Side. There was plenty of good to come out of this series, even if it was against one of the bottom-feeders in the AL West. Stalwarts like Jose […]
THE CITY THAT NEVER SWEEPS: Cubs Take 3 of 3 from the Mets
After watching three weeks of the Chicago Cubs bungle their way to a 6-9 record, it was nice to see them be the bunglees for a three game set where they played host to the New York Mets. The Cubs took all three, including a 16-4 curbstomping Wednesday night and Let’s get right to this: […]
6-9 IS NOT NICE: Cubs Drop 2 of 3 to the Braves
Remember when the Cubs won a series? Yeah, it was the first one of the year. The Cubs haven’t won one since, and they’ve now slipped into last place 10% of the way through the season. The Atlanta Braves came into Wrigley Field in pretty banged up shape. During Friday’s game they lost Ozzie Albies […]
LET’S WIN TWO — CHI 3, BOS 2 (Gm1); CHI 5, BOS 1 (Gm2)
The pair of Sox played a pair of games Sunday after Friday’s first game was snowed out in Beantown, and Chicago’s Sox came out ahead in both games. Tim Anderson got the first game started on the game’s first pitch, with a solo home run to right-center field. Yasmani Grandal drove in a run with […]
DIRTY LAUNDRY — Yellow Sox 7, White Sox 4
After Thursday’s snow-out, the White Sox returned to action Saturday in Boston, against a Red Sox team that looked more like the UCLA Bruins than their usual selves. Boston debuted their “City Connect” edition jerseys, inspired by the finish line of the Boston Marathon. They’re the first of seven MLB teams to wear “City Connect” […]
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER — White Sox 8, Cleveland 0
On Tuesday night at Sox Park, Lucas Giolito and Cleveland’s Shane Bieber put on a master class in pitching in the big leagues, with the two combining for 16 scoreless innings between the two starters, and they only allowed three hits each. Bieber struck out 11 Sox hitters over 9 innings, while Giolito fanned eight […]
