The Missing Praise For Baines 
 by George Bova
 Harold Baines has been a favorite of Sox Fans far longer than the internet has been around, but nobody was getting any more recognition than Harold amongst Sox Fans from even the earliest days here at White Sox Interactive!  WSI's George Bova notes how much has changed about the Sox since Baines wore the uniform.  Given everything that once hampered his popularity, are  the honors now given him even more than fully earned?

Sox Fans for All Seasons 
 by George Bova
 The all-star break means over half the season has already been played but nearly half is still left to be played, too!  As WSI's George Bova notes, there is simply too much ahead of this team for the past to count for much and simply too much has already happened to doubt their ability to tackle the future either.  It takes a special sort of perseverance to be a Sox Fan at such a time, not unlike the perseverance to be a Sox Fan in the dead of winter.  Only the strong Sox Fans will be there at the end!

WSI exclusive interview!
Ron Hansen Speaks!
He came to the Sox in trade for franchise icon Luis Aparicio.  He played on three consecutive South Side teams to win over 90 games.  He got Joe Horlen his last out in the 1967 no-hitter that everyone believed could launch the Sox to World Series glory that season remembered on the South Side today as the Improbable Nightmare.  He's Ron Hansen and he's here to speak to WSI's totally biased Sox Fans about glory and heartbreak in the 1960's.  Another exclusive interview from WSI by Mark Liptak!
  Chet Coppock interview... and many more

 Totally Biased WSI Features!
Sox Sounds Better!
The Sox are winning but still face tough challenges as the division race tightens! It's shaping up as a terrific summer and while the play on the field has been great, another unexpected bonus has made this season especially enjoyable for WSI's George Bova. Sox baseball hasn't sounded this good in a long time!
June Bugs
There is lots of noise around Chicago this month surrounding a certain first-place team. WSI's George Bova checks the calendar, surfs past the noise, notes how the dumbest of the dumb have exposed themselves, and keeps busy supporting our first-place White Sox. Good enough for now!
Unflappable Ozzie Flap!
The Sox are in first-place but nothing short of a flap over something manager Ozzie Guillen says could hope to get them the lead in the Chicago sports mediots' coverage! The club is definitely with Ozzie and that's all that counts as both WSI's George Bova and sage baseball mind Earl Weaver agree!
Cold Snap Over?
The Sox bats have heated up with the weather! Could the endless road games and unseasonably cold and wet home games have been the root cause of chilly Sox bats? Hal Vickery is the most prolific writer in WSI history and notes he'll be watching closely even if he isn't necessarily writing about it!
Wide Open!
It's a wide-open division and more than that, its a division title for the Chicago White Sox to lose! The Sox have months of baseball ahead of them to play but they've done everything needed (so far) to make a successful run to the post-season. WSI's George Bova notes it's always better to be lucky than good. So far the 2008 Sox have been both!
