White Sox 5, Astros 1

Posted April 03, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Chris Sale,  Jordan Schafer
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox,  Houston Astros
Chris Sale had another solid outing in his transition from the bullpen to the rotation and the Chicago White Sox beat the Houston Astros 5-1 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night. Sale (2-1) struck out six in four innings and was charged with one run and three hits. The left-hander gave up one run and struck out seven in six innings in his last start. The 23-year-old Sale, who has appeared in 79 games as a reliever, will make his first major league start when his spot in the rotation comes up. Jordan Schafer was back in center field for the Astros and appeared to be fully recovered from a hand injury that had kept him out for more than two weeks.

Chicago White Sox: A New Era Brings New Expectations

Via Race Review Online  |  April 04, 2012
  White Sox fans are having a hard time recognizing their team as we approach opening day. Spring Training has not only brought new demands for the Jerry Reinsdorf’s club, but new faces as well. Whether that is a good or bad thing is yet to be determined, even though many experts predict the latter. Ousted is former manager Ozzie Guillen, who is now leading a resurgent Miami...

An Ozzie Guillen Mural Would Look Better

Does every element of a newly built ballpark have to be perfect in order to appease fans? No, but can one hideously foolish mistake become engrained in one’s memory? Just ask every fan that walks into the Florida Marlins’ new home in 2012. The Marlins have been in dire need of a reasonably functioning ballpark, not a cavernous football amphitheater, since their debut in 1993...
