Fan gets stuck in seats after diving for foul ball

Your browser does not support iframes. A Houston Astros fan went tumbling into a row of seats and disappeared while trying to grab a foul ball during Monday night's game at Minute Maid Park, and to make matters worse, the fan was nowhere near where the ball ended up. It happened in the sixth inning as Chicago White Sox batter Alexei Ramirez hit the foul line drive into the...

White Sox Jake Peavy making progress

The Chicago White Sox have been one of the more disappointing teams in baseball.  They weren't necessarily expected to do great things, but they were supposed to be more competitive than they are.  With the Detroit Tigers looking like the clear favorites for the division and the Cleveland Indians showing signs of life at times, the White Sox could have made the division incredibly...

Chicago White Sox Are In A Losing Free Fall

Chicago White Sox lose 3 in a row to the Houston Astros. First of all thankfully this route of the Sox was about 8 years too late.  If you recall the White Sox swept the Astros in the World Series in 2005.  However Houston has one more to go, can they make in 4 in a row? This season has been at times a tad bright for the Sox.  They had a nice win streak in mid may that saw them...

White Sox rumors: Teams targeting Jesse Crain

After narrowly missing the playoffs last season, the Chicago White Sox have not gotten off to the start they envisioned this year. With the trade deadline approaching, they are one of the teams that will have to decide whether or not they want to sell with an eye to the future or attempt to contend with the pieces they have now. Regardless, reliever Jesse Crain could become a popular...

Forget Jonathan Papelbon, Target Jesse Crain

Now that the draft is behind us and we’re only six weeks away from the trade deadline, we’re officially in rumor season. This time of year, we’ll be treated to an almost daily look at which teams might be buying or selling and what players could be changing uniforms before the end of July. The Phillies are probably the most interesting potential seller, because their roster...

Chris Sale K’s 14, Allows 0 ERs…Loses

We highlighted the pitfalls of the White Sox lineup yesterday, most notably Adam Dunn and his lack of hitting singles.  We never knew later on that night just about everything we pointed out would come true.  Ask Chris Sale about it. Chris Sale is a really good pitcher.  The 6’6” hard-throwing lefty out of Gulf Coast College (you remember that school, right?) was 17-9 last...

Chris Sale Takes Loss Despite 14 Strikeouts

What if I told you that last night White Sox pitcher Chris Sale threw a complete game, gave up just five hits, walked only one, and struck out 14? Even though it was against the Astros, I think we can all agree that Sale was dominant. What if I then told you he was the losing pitcher. Does that change your attitude? It shouldn't, but for some it will, and that's wrong...

Adam Dunn Wants Your Singles

Cameron Crowe wrote about them.  Pacman Jones makes them reign.  And Kraft sells them in packages of 8, 16, and 24.  Yet, Adam Dunn still can’t manage to hit them.  I’m speaking of singles, of course. Adam Dunn is a great power hitter.  No one denies that.  He has eight seasons of 35+ home runs and is on pace to do that again this year.  But something Adam Dunn is not...

The White Sox' Best Potential Trade Chips are Becoming Clear

Last week, we pointed out to you that in all likelihood, Rick Hahn will elect to make the White Sox sellers as the trade deadline approaches. Since the team keeps taking one step forward and two steps back, selling off pieces seems to be becoming inevitable. So who exactly are the guys who may be shipped off before (or even after via waivers) the July 31st trade deadline? Based...

Chicago White Sox Bats Come Alive For One Game Against Blue Jays

Last night’s game was an aberration of many sorts.  It was the first time the Chicago White Sox scored 10 runs all year and it was the first fog delay in Chicago in quite some time. I wasn’t watching the game and was confused when my phone showed delay.  I knew it wasn’t raining as I live in the Chicago suburbs.  My good buddy @mlbhotcorner the Toronto Blue Jays fan alerted...
