WHITE SOX RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Chicago White Sox held the Seattle Mariners to seven runs over a three-game series in April, highlighted by Philip Humber's perfect game. However, the streaking White Sox could have a much tougher time this weekend holding down a Mariners team which broke out offensively its last two games. Chicago goes for its ninth straight victory Friday night in the opener of a three...

Pierzynski Is Still A Piece Of Garbage

A.J. Pierzynski is an A-Hole. No, that is not news. Everyone knows that he is a dirty player. Everyone also knows that he makes a fool out of himself by talking trash like a Jersey Shore toolbag. Pierzynski added a new chapter to his dirty tactics this week, when he intentionally spiked Tampa Bay Rays second baseman, Ben Zobrist, on Wednesday. Here are a few screen grabs of the ...

Fans Pants Fall Down at Rays vs. White Sox Game Going for a Foul Ball (Video)

So you would think fat guys would wear belts these days but it's just not the case. Seriously I think more than half on the fat guys in the world just don't own belts. The belly fat just pushes the pants right down off the hips and the pants have no chance. Not sure why they do it. In this case it was a guy going for a foul ball at the Rays vs. White Sox game last night...

White Sox broadcaster Hawk Harrelson took 16 Advil following epic meltdown

Chicago White Sox veteran television play-by-play man Ken “Hawk” Harrelson has been called many things over his broadcasting career: passionate, a dyed-in-the-wool White Sox homer, annoying (to non-ChiSox fans), entertaining, and so on. But after Wednesday’s face-melting blowout during the broadcast of the White Sox-Rays game after Sox pitcher Jose Quintana was...

Hawk Harrelson Gives Us Another Broadcasting Lowlight

White Sox play-by-play TV man Ken “Hawk” Harrelson is really bad at his job.  Most announcers, especially those working with the same team for decades, display a little hometown bias, which is fine.  Most of the audience are fans who generally want to hear the guys in the booth reinforce their opinions, after all.  Hawk Harrelson does this times a million.  Today...

Hawk Harrelson flips out after Jose Quintana was tossed (Video)

Hawk Harrelson is widely despised among non-White Sox fans for his over-the-top homer calls for the White Sox on TV. Even though we’re fully prepared to hear nothing but a biased perspective from Hawk, he still manages to stun us with his sports talk radio caller-like meltdowns on a regular basis. Take for example what happened on Wednesday. Sox pitcher Jose Quintana threw...

Hawk Harrelson Freaks Out About Umpire Mark Wegner After Puzzling Ejection in White Sox Game (Video)

All of those things came together Wednesday afternoon, and the result was a big-time explosion from the White Sox broadcaster. Home plate umpire Mark Wegner decided to eject Jose Quintana...

GRAB SOME BENCH, HAWK

Broadcaster loses it after ChiSox pitcher ejection

One of AA's favorites is impassioned White Sox cheerleader and play by play man Hawk Harrelson. Hawk's antics are legendary in these circles, but today may have been one of his best all-time moments. This rant is right up there with Hawk going after Joe West a couple years ago. Today with the White Sox in Tampa Bay, home plate umpire Mark Wegner abruptly ejected White Sox...

Chris Sale Is Proving Why He Is an Elite Starting Pitcher

It’s been an interesting couple months for Chicago White Sox pitcher Chris Sale. The former reliever/closer looked fantastic in the month of April as a starting pitcher – but then out of nowhere – the Chicago White Sox decided to put Chris Sale back in the bullpen after he said his elbow was tender. Every White Sox fan understandably panicked about this horrendous...
