WHITE SOX RUMORS & GOSSIP

Chris Sale is quietly terrific

The Chicago White Sox' Chris Sale might be the quietest superstar in baseball. Whether it is because his team gets little national exposure or because he is not doing Head & Shoulders commercials, I do not know, but he just goes out there every fifth day and is devastating. And he keeps getting better. Sale has now started 38 games in his big league career and is 22-10 in...

Josh Phegley's Emergence in AAA is Hard to Ignore

White Sox fans everywhere are starting to get a little frustrated with catcher Tyler Flowers. While filling the shoes of the departed AJ Pierzynski in your first season as a full-time big league starter is a difficult task, Flowers’ play both at and behind the plate have left a lot to be desired, as fans are questioning the organization’s ringing endorsement of Flowers as the...

Angels blow two-run lead in 8th, fall to White Sox

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Jeff Keppinger walked with the bases loaded to drive in the go-ahead run -- his first base on balls in 141 plate appearances this season -- and the Chicago White Sox rallied with three runs in the eighth to beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 on Thursday night for their season-high third straight road win. The Angels' bullpen wasted a two-run lead as the...

Putting Dunn & Keppinger's Pathetic Starts in Context

Slow starts to the season are nothing new for the White Sox. The Palehose have played sub-.500 baseball each year since 2008 through 35 games (which is where we are at right now), which has resulted in only one playoff appearance in that time frame. The starts individual players have had tell the story, as since the turn of the century, there have been 21...

How Close Jeff Keppinger Has Come

Give this to Jeff Keppinger: he’s a long way from history. Keppinger, to date, has started 29 games for the White Sox, and he’s still searching for his first base on balls. That’s a long streak to start a season, but it’s far from the longest streak. Two years ago, Brent Morel of the same White Sox didn’t draw his first walk until start 33. In 2009, John McDonald went 35...

White Sox have had Twins number of late in Minnesota

Even in winning, Chicago's most recent contest was a microcosm of the young season, as its struggling offense continues to have a difficult time providing run support for a solid pitching staff. Hector Santiago may be the newest member of the starting rotation, but even he isn't immune to that fact. Chicago begins a seven-game road trip as Santiago faces former White Sox...

Chicago White Sox: Sale almost perfect on Mother’s Day.

There aren’t many seasons where Chicago White Sox fans say they can look forward to a series against the Angels. However, the Angels have been having many of the same problems as the Sox this year. With an offense as stacked as they have (Hamilton, Trout, AND Pujols), it’s hard to believe that this is the case. That being said, the White Sox did a pretty good job of making the...

Adam Dunn Rediscovering Identity

Truth be told, I don’t know all that much about Chris Cornell. Were I in charge of a massive Chris Cornell museum, I’d constantly be thinking to myself, “I don’t know how this happened.” But I know a few years ago, Cornell went solo and released an album that was a complete departure from his previous music. It sold, but people didn’t really like it that much, and before...

White Sox pitcher Hector Santiago forgets to bat against Mets (Video)

Your browser does not support iframes. Chicago White Sox pitcher Hector Santiago is not used to hitting, as he plays for an American League team. That would probably explain why Santiago was nowhere to be found when his at-bat came up with two outs in the top of the sixth inning during Tuesday night's game at Citi Field. The game was briefly delayed as Santiago was in...
