Savio is, obviously, a proud fan of the American League Central-leading Chicago White Sox.

Think about how lucky one has to be to even have the opportunity to catch a ball. Out of thousands of fans in attendance, the ball has to...

The last thing the White Sox needed in the middle of a heated pennant race with Detroit were
distractions thrown their way. But there it was on Friday, front and center, so much so that catcher A.J. Pierzynski addressed the
media before the eventual 7-5 loss to Kansas City, over an internet rumor that said the veteran was under
suspicion for steroid use by Major League Baseball...

September 05, 2012
For a guy that has been on four different teams in the past two seasons, Chicago White Sox outfielder DeWayne Wise sure has a knack for making the highlight reel.
Wise was brought in to pitch the 9th inning as his Sox were trailing the Minnesota Twins 18-8. He shut the Twins out with a double-play ground ball and a pop fly out.
His secret pitch? Well, it was also his only pitch...

It is hard to imagine who would be playing third base for the Chicago White Sox right now had general manager Kenny Williams not gone out and gotten proven veteran Kevin Youkilis.
Would Omar Vizquel be back in black by now?

Last Thursday, I took a stab at predicting how batter’s swing influences their ground ball / fly ball splits. One of the most important retorts to the research (a retort made both in the comments and on The Book blog) was that pitch location was the determining factor of bat angles — what I was attributing to hitter tendencies (at least for hitters who have big GB/FB platoon...
