Aug. 29th...Well, That's One Down
Not exactly what you would call a pitchers' duel, but it counts, so we'll take it! Especially as it puts us back in the wild card lead.
Rant Sox!
The Sox fall to third-place in the division and trail for the wild-card, too! It's tough being a Sox Fan and it's tough competing in baseball's toughest division, too. WSI's Hal Vickery knows the key now is to simply win, win, and win some more, but first a little ranting is in order!
Aug. 23rd...No Sweep Dreams in Motown Tonight
Sox bats wake up just in the nick of time as the Sox slap 15 hits--including three home runs (two by Joe Crede)--en route to a much-needed win over the Kittycats. Tomorrow, we go for the series split.
Media Panic!
What sells newspapers, increases listening audiences, and more generally pays the salaries of media personalities searching for ANYTHING to justify the space and airtime their boss gives them? As WSI's Guy Bacci notes, it might never be too early for some Sox Fans to panic, but it's certainly never too early for some in the Chicago media to start bashing Sox Fans either.
August 19... Dome Advantage
The Sox benefit from Metrodome quirks and some sloppy play to beat the Twins at their own game, while Jon Garland does the rest.
August 17th...Redemption
Mark Buehrle got his first win since June 27th, while Bobby Jenks recorded his Major League-leading 34th save, as our defending champs defeated Kansas City 5-4 on a beautiful August afternoon.
August 16th...Mama Told Me There'll be Days Like This
In one of the most lackluster performances in the last couple of years, Jose Contreras and our beloved Palehose were easily defeated by the worst team in the league 10-4.
Collared Kitties!
A sweep by the Sox has Jim Leyland, Ivan Rodriguez, and the entire Tigers clubhouse unhinged and making excuses. Yes, it's good to be king and it's good to defending champions, too! WSI's Hal Vickery has friendly advice for our rivals from Detroit: Don't look back, someone might be gaining on you!
Aug 11th...Viva! Contreras!
Tonight was Elvis night on the South Side, and the Tigers checked into Heartbreak Ho-Cell. Here's hoping they have a nice, long stay!
August 10th...Flashes of 1983: Winning Ugly
Alex Rodriguez and Melky Cabrera played Sox MVPs for the day, their two errors proving to be deadly, as our beloved Palehose would capitalize en route to a 5-4 win over the Evil Empire. It wasn't pretty, but we'll sure take it!
August 8... Worth the Wait
Paul Konerko connects for 9th inning homer off Mariano Rivera, setting stage for Jermaine Dye walk-off single as Sox top Yanks 6-5 in 11.
Panic Mode
Whether their team is winning or losing, it's never the wrong time for Sox Fans to panic! A string of recent series victories has at least a few calmed down, but as WSI's Hal Vickery says, disaster is always lurking around the corner for any crazed Sox Fan!
Respect -- The Hard Way
While nervously watching the 2006 season unfold, Sox Fans have found something perhaps they never realized they were missing: respect for our Sox! WSI's Guy Bacci notes Chicago spends August talking more about curveballs than talking two-a-day scrimmages!
