Jon Garland pitches decent; but, Brandon McCarthy has a mini-meltdown en route to a 4-3 Seattle victory over our Palehose in 11 innings.
Missing Nancy!
What's missing at Sox Park this season? As usual, the surging Sox get no respect from the national media. As unusual, the clever and uniquely Sox Park sounds of Nancy Faust's organ are missing many evenings, too. Hal Vickery is hardly surprised by the former, and truly wishes something could be done to help fix the latter.

The Law of Sox Fandom
One "Vickery Law" concerns horses and horses' hindquarters. The other Vickery Law concerns being a Sox Fan. Having watched the first week of the 2006 season, WSI's Hal Vickery is invoking H. Vickery's Law -- the one not about horses' hindquarters!
April 8... 4-Game Skid
Vazquez looks good in White Sox debut, but lame effort from offense, Cliff Politte, and Sox killer Mike Sweeney ensure another ugly loss.
A Warm Championship Glow!
