South Side 'Stros
Before the Cubs, there were the 'Stros.
Exit Velocity
Kids really do it have it tough these days.
Keeping Moncada Company
It would be nice if he had someone to share the spotlight with.
Times Change
This is what progress looks like.
Meet 2020
The starting lineup.
This Is Your Brain On White Sox
What's nice about this week is that the Sox don't play until Friday when the Mariners come to town for three games. We could use a break. Our overwrought anterior cingulate cortexes need a rest.
Walking And Leading Off
Is it not clear that Frazier is a markedly better hitter early in the game with no one on base in addition to his ability to draw bases on balls?
Todd Frazier Should Lead Off. Seriously.
He's been a disaster with men on base his whole career, yet Ricky Renteria insists on batting him fourth or fifth.
Pelfrey's Proof
Motivating Mike - and Matt.
Mediocre Minors
Something special not brewing after all.
Hawking Hawk
You do the math. How can a 75-year-old man have been in baseball for 80 years?
Let's Play Two, Like We Used To!
The factory worker, cab drivers and the people flipping burgers at McDonald's in many cases have been priced out of the market. Catering to those folks ended long ago.
The Ghost Of Dayan Viciedo
Quit the hyperbole and just let the kids take their time.
Alarming Weirdness
On Saturday, more than 29,000 fans jammed the park for a chance to see these two developing ballclubs. Well, that's not really true. The giveaway of a Hawk Harrelson alarm clocks was the real draw.
Rebuilding And Racists
The nights will be cold. The crowds will be sparse. Spending $9.75 for a Modelo Especial is excessive. The drama won't come from the fans. No, it will be all about whether this ballclub can maintain respectability as the rebuild continues. Just the way it should be.
Outperforming April
Firing on all cylinders - except catching the ball.
Hitless Wonders
There has been virtually no criticism of hitting coach Todd Steverson. We'll see how long that lasts.
Not Irrelevant
Not yet, anyway.
What About Avi?
The next David Ortiz or the next Thad Bosley?
Unlovable Losers
There's nothing cute or lovable about a bad ballclub on the South Side.
Renteria's Record
The right man for the job.
The Pace Of The Game
Maybe it's time that MLB sheds its inferiority complex and celebrates the three hours that folks can spend at the ballpark with friends and family, watching a ballgame, eating a hot dog, and drinking a beer.
Putting The Spring In Spring Training
This is a world of athletes with optimistic hopes of reaching the next level amid blue skies, warm temperatures and encouragement from coaches, fans, and teammates. And it can't be rushed.
Sale, All Smiles, Sold
Ready to leave throwback uniforms and children in the clubhouse in arrears.
The Season In Verse | Back Up The Hearse
It actually got worse.
Venerating Vin
He rooted for baseball, not the Dodgers.
Reload
The only "rebuild" this team needs is in the manager's office and the bullpen.
Ask About The Curve
Interested fans can learn all kinds of information at Sox games.
Fly The Coop
If you listen to Hawk Harrelson, Don Cooper is one of the game's elite pitching coaches . . .

The team's new direction: online mortgages.
Why Colin Kaepernick Matters
At age 29, his blacklisting may well amount to a life sentence, for no crime other than having a social conscience.
