WHITE SOX RUMORS & GOSSIP
This ball wouldn't stretch for Hawk Harrelson
I wish we had every close Chicago White Sox loss saved for posterity thanks to the play by play antics of the one and only Hawk Harrelson. Last we saw Hawk, he was observing a minute of silence for a White Sox walk off loss in Detroit. Today, the southsiders found themselves trailing 10-8 in the bottom of the ninth hosting the Tigers with runners on second and third and 2 outs...

Image: Hilarious Father/Son Combo Fan Signs at White Sox-Tigers Game
One of my favorite people to follow on Twitter is @WorldofIsaac. So you should follow him. Now.
My latest reminder of his real-time Twitter greatness was the posting of the image below, taken while watching today’s weird White Sox-Tigers game.
I love this image for several reasons:
The “dad” is wearing a Cardinals shirt/jersey while proclaiming the greatness...

After awful year, Dunn starts anew with White Sox
(Eds: APNewsNow. With AP Photos.) By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer Adam Dunn has driven last season behind him the best way he knows how. With his bat.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound White Sox slugger is determined to put his awful first year in Chicago is behind him. Dunn looks a lot more like himself: He hit his 12th homer in Chicago's 36th game on Monday night, surpassing his total...

Chicago White Sox: Humber’s start not enough
Philip Humber’s best outing since his perfect game wasn’t enough for the White Sox to take home the victory on Sunday.
The starter gave up only one earned run over 6 2/3 innings. Unfortunately, a third inning RBI single by Paul Konerko scored the only run the White Sox would get. In the ninth inning, the Kansas City Royals scored six runs to bring the final to 1-9. Another...

Sale talks his way back into starting rotation
Another day, another change in the plan for Chris Sale. After Sale's Thursday MRI came back clean, the Sox announced that Sale would indeed be returned back to the starting rotation. It was a week earlier on May 4 that the Sox first announced that soreness in the elbow after several starts gave the team no choice but to move Sale from the rotation to the bullpen. However...

Why The White Sox Have Been A Different Team In 2012
Last season the White Sox were supposed to be great. I was positive that they would run away with the division. Adam Dunn had just been brought in to bolster the offense and the team had a rock solid starting rotation. Setup man extraordinaire Matt Thornton looked poised to make a seamless transition to the closer’s role. But as we now know, everything that could go wrong did for...

Alejandro De Aza Is Proving Why He Is An Elite Leadoff Hitter
The Chicago White Sox saw glimpses of brilliance last season when centerfielder Alejandro De Aza played when the team was out of the race. I saw so much in Alejandro De Aza that I said he would be the best player on the Chicago White Sox this season. At the time, I really didn’t know how much faith I had in my prediction considering Alejandro De Aza was a little bit lucky...

What’s Fueling Adam Dunn’s Resurgence?
After suffering through an abysmal 2011 season, White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn is off to a fantastic start this year.
Last season, the 31-year-old Dunn put up a career-low .266 weighted on-base average (wOBA), or 59 wRC+, in nearly 500 plate appearances. His on-base percentage — which normally was a strength for the slugger — was .292, or 62 points below his previous career...

Dunn, Peavy thriving after rough 2011
Jake Peavy is younger than you think. He's only 30 years old. But he's been around long enough to know the difference between "LOOK, IT'S JAKE PEAVY!" and "Dude, remember when you were good?"
Peavy won the pitching Triple Crown in San Diego five years ago. In one of baseball's quaintest outposts, he was the most popular figure not named Gwynn...
