Sports in Perspective
For many White Sox fans, the six games a year that we play the Cubs are some of the most important games in the season. Very few rivalries are as heated and the winners get bragging rights for a whole year. Because of this, it was extremely relieving to see the good guys take the [...]
Albert Pujols has only hit two home runs this whole season…and one of them was against the White Sox. In the third inning, Pujols smashed Gavin Floyd’s fastball to deep left center. The three-run shot gave the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim the 4-2 lead and they never gave it up. Gavin Floyd has been [...]
Philip Humber’s best outing since his perfect game wasn’t enough for the White Sox to take home the victory on Sunday. The starter gave up only one earned run over 6 2/3 innings. Unfortunately, a third inning RBI single by Paul Konerko scored the only run the White Sox would get. In the ninth inning, [...]
To be honest, I was very optimistic going into this weekend’s series against the Detroit Tigers. Our Chicago White Sox were coming off a series loss against the division rival Cleveland Indians, but the Tigers have not necessarily been playing up to their potential. With Jake Peavy on the mound on Friday, it was looking [...]
Suffice it to say that the Chicago White Sox surprised pretty much everyone this April. As I’ve said before, it doesn’t look like they will become the awful 95-loss team that analysts predicted. Going into May, their record of 12-11 has them vying for first place in the AL Central. It is true that the [...]
The Chicago White Sox bounced back from a five-game skid today versus the Red Sox. Their Boston counterparts have really been handing it to the Sox during this four-game set. Thursday and Friday saw the good guys lose 3-10 both times and Jake Peavy’s fantastic one-run complete game was overshadowed yesterday by a shutout performance [...]
The Chicago White Sox never could quite figure out how to win in Oakland. Today’s game was a tutorial on how to lose a baseball game. As Hawk said during the 13th inning broadcast, this is the White Sox’ 18th game and it is the first one they’ve played badly. The Sox failed to execute [...]
Adam Dunn would prefer 2011 had never happened. Anybody that remotely follows baseball knows that Dunn had a historically awful season. Last season, he set a new record for lowest batting average at .159. Having only contributed 42 RBIs with 11 home runs, suffice it to say it was a massive blemish on an otherwise [...]
And just like that, Philip Humber is in the Major League Baseball record books. On Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, the White Sox pitcher accomplished one of the most difficult feats in baseball-the perfect game. The game was only the 21st of its kind in the history of baseball and the Sox have the privilege [...]
The 21st perfect game in baseball’s modern era was recorded by Philip Humber yesterday. No- hitters have seemingly become more prevalent in the big leagues in recent years, but the perfect game is just as rare and random as it’s always been. A perfect game consists of a pitcher lasting nine or more innings without [...]
