White Sox 3, Cubs 2

What Should the Chicago White Sox Do at Third Base?
The Chicago White Sox haven’t really gotten any offense from second base, shortstop or third base in the couple of months of the season. Now we know that Alexei Ramirez is just a slow starter and he always bounces back and has a really good last four months, so let’s not worry about him. With Gordon Beckham, you have to take the good with the bad, his defense is...

White Sox Ken “Hawk” Harrelson: worst announcer in all of sports? (video)
Who’s the biggest dead weight connected to the Chicago White Sox: Gordon Beckham? Brent Morel?

Bullpen solid, Jimenez not in Indians' loss
CHICAGO (AP) -- Gordon Beckham snapped out of a slump with three hits and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday.

How Long Will The Chicago White Sox Wait on Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel?
Gordon Beckham was supposed to be the next superstar in the Chicago White Sox organization, while Brent Morel was expected to come in and take over the 3rd base spot with his great defense. Well the defense for both has been above average, while the hitting has been absolutely terrible.
Beckham, 25, comes into today hitting an abysmal .153/.231/.203 for a terrible .434 OPS. He...

Is There Hope for Gordon Beckham?
Gordon Beckham has not lived up to expectations. After being selected eighth overall by the Chicago White Sox in 2008, Beckham was expected to be one of the team’s future stars. And after a strong rookie season, it looked like Beckham might achieve that goal. Since then, however, Beckham was struggled mightily. For the 25-year-old, 2012 is a make-or-break year. The early signs...

* – including in Arlington at Rangers Ballpark for White Sox-Rangers…I’ll be there!
While some people may be lamenting this ridiculously unnecessary and lame...

White Sox 2B Beckham ready to 'let loose' in 2012
After a disappointing 2011 season with the Chicago White Sox, Gordon Beckham cleared his head this offseason.
He hit .230 and struck out a career-high 111 times in 150 games last year. The problem wasn't his swing, Beckham said, but his approach.
''I was a little timid,'' he explained. ''It's not how I roll.''
Even his dad noticed he wasn...
