Thursday thoughts: With Chris Sale pitching them to a 6-1 victory against the visiting Houston Astros on Wednesday (Aug. 28), the Chicago White Sox improved to 10-2 in their last 12 games. Which prompted the statistical analysis department around here to thinking (no easy task to do that either, let me tell you). And here […]
Monday meanderings: Chicago Cubs 55-74, last place in the National League Central 21 games behind the division leader. Chicago White Sox 54-75, last place in the American League Central, 22.5 games behind the division leader. Sox 8-2 last 10 games; Cubs 3-7 last 10. And so the stage is set to see which team will […]
The Chicago White Sox, who had the longest current winning streak of any major-league team going into Wednesday night’s game at Kansas City, defeated the Royals 5-2. Which means — if the statistical analysis department around here is to be believed — the Sox still have the longest current winning streak of any major-league team. […]
Midweek musings: Yes, your Chicago White Sox (and if not yours, then surely somebody’s) have the longest current winning streak in the major leagues. With their 2-0 victory Tuesday at Kansas City, the Sox have won four in a row. If they win 24 more in a row, they will be .500 (74-74). And still […]
Still unable to be two places at once (yes, the cloning — not be to confused with the clowning — department is a big disappointment to some of us at elliottharris.com), your humble correspondent had to decide which game to go to Saturday night.

Ryne Sandberg’s dream of managing at the major-league level became a reality Friday (Aug. 16) when the Philadelphia Phillies replaced Charlie Manuel with the Hall of Fame second baseman. Of course, Sandberg — who initially was in the Phillies organization before being traded to the Chicago Cubs — most likely was thinking of the Cubs […]
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is about to embrace technology. Even if it is 20th century rather than 21st. Major League Baseball is set to implement expanded replay for 2014 (pending owner approval). Here’s hoping Selig and others don’t strain themselves patting themselves on the back — for something that should have been done a long […]
Thursday thoughts: The Chicago White Sox failed in their effort to sweep a three-game series against the division-leading Detroit Tigers. The Sox lost 6-4 Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field after taking the first two games against the Tigers. Meaning the Sox, who led 3-0, missed a perfect chance to cut their American League Central Division […]
Let’s say you were driving a triple-digit distance Tuesday night. And as you traveled, you came across the radio broadcast of one of your favorite teams. You listened. And drove. And listened. And drove. On this particular night, it was a baseball game that game went ito extra innings. And you listened. And drove. And […]
Because of technical difficulties (aside from any thought processes involved), today’s effort will contain an abbreviated amount of verbiage. Which means the video portion of the program should be the prevailing product (as long as the editorial and video departments at elliottharris.com are up to the task, which thankfully they generally are).
