The Chicago Cubs began a three game road trip to Milwaukee with a pitching matchup featuring burly lefthander Jon Lester for the visitors against burly righthander Brandon Woodruff for the home team. How did it go? The Cubs should have filled the sunflower seed bucket with sugarless candy so they could get some runs, since […]
Last night, the Cubs and Reds got off to a late start due to a rain delay, then proceeded to play in said rain anyway. As this was the last meeting between the two teams, they really had no choice to get it in. Adbert Alzolay started for the Cubs, looking for better defensive support […]
Yu Darvish struggled through a 3 run first inning and that was enough. Put this one to bed and get ’em next time. The Good Of course Darvish was still awesome. He threw 98 pitches in his 6 innings on the mound. He struck out 9. 65 of his 98 pitches were strikes. Darvish didn’t […]
Last night in a damp and cold Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds began their three game series with a pitching matchup that featured Tyler Mahle squaring off against Alec Mills. The Cubs were once again without the services of Jason Heyward, who left a game this weekend feeling dizzy and ill. He […]
The Sox came into tonight a half game ahead of Minnesota and Cleveland, and with both of those teams winning in walk-off fashion, the Sox had to take care of business to maintain that ever so slim edge, and they did just that on a hot night in Kansas City with a 5-3 win over […]
The White Sox spent all of August mashing the baseball, and MLB took notice, with two Sox hitters earning monthly awards. First Baseman Jose Abreu took home the AL Player of the Month award for July/August by hitting .330 with 11 homers and a slugging percentage of .687. He highlighted the month with six homers […]
Lucas Giolito didn’t replicate his historic no-hitter Monday night at Target Field, and didn’t even figure in the decision. In fact, he struggled in the 2nd inning, and the defense behind him uncharacteristically committed three errors in the frame. But he battled, and kept the Sox within striking distance to allow the offense to come […]
Sunday went about as well as any White Sox fan could hope as the games involving Minnesota and Cleveland ended in losses for both of those teams. However, the Sox rubber match with the Royals on the South Side hung in the balance after noted Sox-killer Whit Merrifield hit a game-tying home run in the […]
The Royals come into Saturday’s slate of games in last place in the Central, but they don’t play like a last place club. They made the Sox earn Friday night’s game in walk-off fashion, but on this day, the Royals got to the Sox bullpen and slowed the Sox run with a 9-6 win on […]
The Royals came to town to start a 3-game weekend set at 35th and Shields Friday night, and it was one of the more bizarre games we’ve seen in a most unusual season. Sure, the Sox still hit some dingers, but they left the bases loaded twice with chances to put some daylight between them […]
