Random thoughts while wondering who the Chicago Cubs will select with the No. 2 pick in baseball’s annual draft (and whether that player will be on the team’s roster — or even alive — when the Cubs win a World Series): * Monday (Oct. 1) was NBA media day. Which meant there were a lot […]
Monday meanderings: Now that the Chicago baseball season is over (OK, so the Cubs and White Sox each have three games left, but it’s merely a formality), we can focus on football. Which is what your humble correspondent was doing Sunday (Sept. 30) during a birthday party for a 7-year-old. The Green Bay Packers were […]
She may appear to have football on her mind, but the odds say Jaime Edmondson will be focusing on baseball Sunday (Sept. 30), too. Well, when she isn’t posting her selections on NFL games. Yes, multi-tasking seems to be much easier for the Playboy Playmate than it is for some of us mere mortals. After […]
Weekend wonderings: Which would be worse — the Chicago Cubs losing 100 games this season or the Chicago White Sox losing their late-season lead and the American League Central title to the Detroit Tigers? * Wondering what are the chances of the Sox winning four in a row and the Tigers going 1-3 or 0-4 […]
Saturday stat day: With their 3-1 victory Friday (Sept. 28) over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit’s 4-2 loss at Minnesota, the Chicago White Sox moved within one game of the American League Central-leading Tigers.

Particularly because the Rays prevailed 3-2 to drop the Sox two games behind. The difference was Evan Longoria’s ninth-inning home run. The happiest person at […]
Thursday thoughts (or as close to thinking as anyone is going to get around here): A one-game sample is too small to make judgments on regarding the Chicago White Sox. But if walking 12 batters — as they did in a 6-4 loss to the visiting Cleveland Indians on Wednesday (Sept. 26) — is the […]
Midweek musings: If it’s any consolation to Chicago White Sox fans (and the guess here is that it is not), the Sox are in a first-place tie with the Detroit Tigers after losing at home to the Cleveland Indians Tuesday (Sept. 25) while Detroit was beating the visiting Kansas City Royals. Before the season started, […]
Well, this was going to be a feel-good story — at least the first part of today’s effort — about Adam Dunn hitting two home runs, including a three-run homer in the eighth inning to rally the Chicago White Sox over the visiting Cleveland Indians 5-4 on Monday (Sept. 24). And then shortly thereafter your […]
Monday meanderings: The Chicago White Sox have a magic number of 10 to clinch the American League Central title. For those who don’t completely understand what that means, it goes something like this: Any combination of Sox victories and Detroit Tigers losses adding up to 10 gives the Sox the AL Central crown. Or it […]
