Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko will undergo
offseason surgery to remove a floating bone fragment from his left hand,

"It is something I need
to take care of," Konerko said. "I don't feel it has impacted
anything I've done this year. It is just time to get it out of the way."
The procedure will remove the particle, which has been
floating between his hand and left wrist area, according to Levine. Konerko said he’s had the fragment in his
hand since 2009. The recovery time for
the procedure is estimated to be four to six weeks, meaning the slugger will be
able to make a full recovery prior to next spring training.
Konerko has turned in another productive season for the
White Sox, though his numbers dropped off a bit since his hot start. After hitting a ridiculous .381/.455/.642
through the month of May, the 36-year-old is now sitting with a still
impressive line of ...

End of Season Post-Mortem: Chicago White Sox
They scraped, and they clawed, and they battled, but at the end of the day, the Chicago White Sox fell short in their bid to win the AL Central, even after an 11-0 thrashing of the Indians on Monday night. A 2-10 stretch prior to that win did them in, and I bet a lot of White Sox fans, players, and other personnel are wondering what could have happened if some of that offense from...
White Sox fail to draw two million fans for first time since 2004
The declining attendance at US Cellular Field has reached a new low. For the first time since 2004 the Chicago White Sox had less then two million fans pass though the turnstiles. With an average home attendance of 24,666 the White Sox ranked 24th in all of baseball.
The White Sox had 16 crowds of 30,000-plus fans and 14 with less than 20,000.

White Sox 3 out with 3 to play
Their clubhouse strewn with boxes, their season on the brink of ending after a 10th loss in 12 games, the Chicago White Sox headed out Sunday on their final road trip.
They had hoped the three games in Cleveland would be a time for celebration instead of reflecting on what went so wrong.
Now they need a lot of help and a three-game winning streak.
''Obviously we're...
Blowout win is too little, too late for White Sox
The hope for the Chicago White Sox players was they wouldn't have to start talking about tough decisions the organization has to make this winter or the current roster being broken up until late October -- not on the first night of the month. However, even though the Sox finally won, pounding the Cleveland Indians 11-0, they were eliminated from playoff contention when the...
Ventura plans on managing through his contract
Robin Ventura made it clear Sunday: The first-year manager plans on being around for the remaining two years on his contract with the Chicago White Sox.
He raised a few eyebrows Saturday when asked if he could ever see himself managing as long as a Walter Alston or Tommy Lasorda. Ventura said he couldn't and was just hoping to get through this season.
He clarified his answer...
White Sox 11, Indians 0
Rookie Hector Santiago allowed just one hit in seven shutout innings as the Chicago White Sox kept their slim playoff hopes alive - for the moment - with an 11-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Monday night.
Santiago (4-1), who began the season as Chicago's closer, struck out a season-high 10. The Indians' only hit off the left-hander was Shin-Soo Choo's two-out single...
Pitchers’ Duel Crumbles Into Chicago Slugfest
I’ve had the pleasure 1 of recapping several of Corey Kluber’s starts this season. For nearly six innings tonight, it was his best start of the season by far as he held the potent White Sox offense in check. But, those pesky pale hosers broke through with two outs in the sixth and struck for four runs. The Tribe had no answer for that, mustering just two hits of their own, as...
Box Score: White Sox 11, Indians 0
While the White Sox claimed a big victory today, the Indians already had knocked Chicago out of playoff contention last week. Detroit’s Monday night victory clinched the AL Central for the Tigers, accomplishing an impressive September comeback to win the worst division in baseball.
And, oh yeah, the Indians lost badly on Monday. They managed just two hits and one walk while striking...

Series Preview: White Sox at Indians 10/1-3
The White Sox have completely collapsed, a huge part of which was the Indians last series win over Chicago. Unless both Cleveland and Detroit get swept this week, the Sox are officially out of the playoffs in 2012.
The Indians seem to have a newfound motivation with the introduction of Sandy Alomar, Jr. as manager. This team, which has struggled all season scoring runs, has...
Indians Interim Manager Sees His Indians Get Rocked By White Sox 11-0 As He Goes Through The Bull Pen
The Cleveland Indians were shut out by the Chicago White Sox 11-0 in a game that would see the Indians Bull pen suffer in.

Series recap: Rays take three of four from the White Sox
The Rays played playoff caliber baseball in Chicago to take the series from the White Sox. They closed out the series in Cy Young type fashion.
Tampa Bay showed some offense over the series as they outscored Chicago 20-11 with half of those runs coming from Saturday’s 10-4 win. But David Price’s performance once again was the story of a series.
Price earned his 20th win of...
State of the RSBS Union, Take 2
