The Farmer Files
I can recall barking at my car radio asking him to at least tell me the score. But at least he lived his dreams.
An Opening Day Requiem
Someday there will be another one, and when it arrives, the emotions, joy and hopes will burst forth possibly like never before. May we all be here to add it to our Opening Day memories.
Coronavirus Spring: Mesa vs. Coachella
What a difference 250 miles made!
Head First
Robert (& Co.) is gonna run.
Edwin A Win
Despite what one veteran Chicago baseball writer seems to think, the Encarnacion signing is a smart one.
Grading Grandal
His spray chart looks like a severe case of chicken pox.
The Season In Verse
Believe it or not, Anderson was the top batter. But the number of errors was a completely different matter.
Hahn's Hits & Misses
It's entirely understandable at this juncture why Hahn isn't being hailed as a genius when it comes to evaluating and signing free agent talent.
Start Now!
Finish strong.
Reasons To Keep Watching
Despite gang of nine and general lack of ability.

Finishing what they've started.
Arrow Up, Folks
Look no further than the past week if you question whether the White Sox are a vastly improved aggregation than the dismal product of the past two rebuilding seasons.
Let Rickey Be
Losing never is easy, and the first target is the man in charge. Despite the criticism, Renteria appears even-keeled. There have been no temper tantrums or ragging on players or unhappy fans. He remains positive and good-natured. These qualities don't necessarily translate to a winning ballclub, but at least let's wait until the guy can put a legitimate major league lineup on the field.

It's All Happening

Ovah The Hump
The season now is right at its halfway point, and the Sox, standing at 39-42, are a far different ballclub than a year ago when they were 28-53 on their way to 100 losses. Sox faithful, those days are ovah!
Open Letter
It boils down to this, Mr. Chairman.
How Lucas Giolito Changed Up His Career
Credit a coach and a catcher.
Russian Interference
"You may not believe this, but they're having an election right now to see who gets to play in what they call the All-Star Game . . . "
Rethinking Run Differential
When it doesn't add up.
The Rebuild Not Taken
Envying the Twins' way.
Extend Abreu
If and when that happens, we can stomach a few more games of TBD pitching for the White Sox.
Tone Down The Future
Maybe it's time we all backed off a bit and simply let the kids play.
Playing The Game Right Now
Bat flips and dugout celebrations only go so far. Winning is what keeps bringing us back.
Soul-Sapping Innings Eaters
Long list of losers.
Tick, Tick, Tick
For the present-day White Sox, a challenge of immense magnitude.
