Sports in Perspective
A.J. Pierzynski has always been a solid hitter. He hits for a decent average (.297 lifetime) and is notoriously hard to strikeout. However, he has never been a main source of home runs and RBIs…until this 2012 season. Even though we are only 11 games into the season, it is hard not to notice the contribution [...]
Before the first game of the season, numerous baseball analysts picked the Detroit Tigers to be the odds-on favorite to make it to the World Series. At the same time, they picked the division rival Chicago White Sox to be a 95 loss team. However, as it stands right now, some of those analysts might [...]
Chicago White Sox starter Chris Sale left the game yesterday after exactly 100 pitches. This number was more than double what the former reliever had ever thrown in a game. It was also more than enough to lock up the win in the 23 year-old’s first major league start. During the off-season and Spring Training, [...]

Although the White Sox were off to a slow start in Spring Training, the Southsiders went 5-2 this past week and seem to be settling into a groove. These wins put the Sox at a more respectable 10-13 overall, mostly thanks to the arrival of some serious offense. The Sox scored 13 runs in last [...]
The White Sox had a successful St. Patrick’s Day weekend defeating the Seattle Mariners and crosstown rival Cubs. These victories mark the first time the team has won two games in a row during Spring Training. These wins put the team’s total at 5-10, which is by no means satisfactory, but there is still plenty of [...]
Those reading this may be wondering why there hasn’t been more Spring Training coverage before now. To be perfectly honest, I was waiting for the White Sox to win more than one game so I’d at least have some positives to write about. The Sox stand at a 2-6 record after Sunday’s 2-5 loss to [...]
