I was at Yankee Stadium tonight, making my Yankee-fan daughter happy by taking her to a game, watching Joba the Great look pretty ordinary and (this was my main focus) watching the out-of-town scoreboard to see what was going on in ChiTown.
Am I nuts or what?

The Chicago White Sox are the hottest team in baseball right now, and the unsung heroes of the team's turnaround has been its lights out bullpen that is off to a great start in 2009 led by Bobby Jenks, Octavio Dotel, Matt Thornton, and Scott Linebrink.

The White Sox spent some serious money and mortgaged some of their future this winter, while the Tribe tried to get through this season with a pat hand and keep their future intact. This week's three-game series between the two is a good indicator of which team had the better approach.,

It seems almost like too much of a perfect fit for these two teams to pass on a deal, of course that probably means they wont. Heading into the off-season the Royals number 1 and 1A priorities were to obtain a bonafide center fielder and a power bat in the middle of the order. Through trades ...
Sox may deal Dye

I've never really been too offended by long Red Sox games. I wear it like a stinking badge, in fact. "We American Leaguers are up all night, while you NL fans are snug in bed nice and early, visions of double switches dancing, one base at a time, in your heads."But tonight...

We are 2 weeks into the season and I find the White Sox right where I expected them: hanging around and in the mix. Power bats are getting them their runs, and their pitching staff has done a good job. In the AL, only Seattle has allowed less runs than the Sox.
For the Sox on offense...
