They Can Never Take The 1908 World Series Away From You

As the Ozzie Guillien and Kenny Williams fued gets put on the back burner until the White Sox next 3 game losing streak the south side fans were whopping it up with the 6-0 white wash of the pathetic Chicago Cubs.
This current 10 game winning streak by the pale hose is surprising everybody. It has been 34 years since the White Sox have won 10 straight games. 
Ozzie is basking in all his glory as his team is doing what he always thought they could do. Ozzie never once lost faith in his players. With all the pressure of pre-season picks for the White Sox to win the World Series the Sox clubhouse never turned ugly as seen in the Chicago Cub dugout Friday afteroon at U. S. Cellular Field.
When Carlos Quentin hit Carlos "BIG craZy" Zambrano  0-2 pitch into the left field bleachers fans knew the Zambrano eruption was near.  Without Brad Barrett to sucker punch Big Crazy had to find another teammate to take out his frustrations.  Big Crazy. He Gone!
With two games left against the Cubs it will be interesting to watch to see if the Cubs can pull themselves out of the organization lowest point in 50 years. But wait Cub fans they can never take the 1908 World Series away from you. You will always have that.

White Sox Do What Was Expected

The Chicago White Sox the new owners of a 6 game winning streak against Pittsburgh and Washington come home on Tuesday night to face the Atlanta Braves.  The Pale Hose did what was expected of them when they left Wrigley Field last Sunday night after losing a tough game to the Chicago Cubs. They went into Pittsburgh and swept them and then went to D.C. and took on the outstanding rookie pitcher Stephan Straysburg on Friday night and beat him 2-1 with another outstanding performance by Gaving Floyd.  So with the White Sox at .500 for the first time since being 1-1 can they continue the streak against the Braves?

Floyd Says Two Can Play This Game

Gavin Floyd showed 40, 201 fans in Washington D.C. why he was a top 5 pick a few years ago by the Phillies. The crowd came to see the new rookie star Stephan Straysburg but came away with a better understanding on why the White Sox were so high on Floyd at the start of the season. In his last 3 starts Floyd has shown he has the stuff to put the Sox on the heels of the Tigers and Twins.

Jake Peavy vs. Clayton Richard

The big trade last year by Kenny Williams was sending Clayton Richard to San Diego for Jake Peavy.
Looking at the stats two months into the season lets compare and contrast.

C. Richard  ERA is 2.87
J. Peavy      ERA is 6.23

innings pitch are even Richard has thrown 69 innings while Peavy has 69.1

Richard has given up 62 hits and Peavy 72. Runs scored against Richard is 22 and Peavy is 48.

Richard has walked 27 batters and Peavy has walked 25, while striking out 62.  Richard has struck out 51.

So far this trade has not worked out for the Palehose.  I won't even go into what the White Sox have to pay Peavy and what the Padres are paying Richard.

Body Language

Take a look at the White Sox players and their body language the next time you are at the park or watching on TV.

Konerko under pressure

As the White Sox continue to fall under .500 as quickly as British Petroleum stock fell from 58 to 36 dollars a share tension mounts in the clubhouse. With AJ and Paulie Konerko in their final years of big money contracts word on the street is they want another big contract. It may even be effecting their game. Last night after a line shot single to Texas centerfielder with AJ on secondbase mouth readers in the stands could see Konerko ask firstbase coach Harold Baines why didn't they send AJ home? Looks like Paulie is trying to pad his rbi totals in his final contract year. For the record King Konerko AJ would have been out by 5 steps.
The question is can this middle age baseball team come back from the depths they are in? As long as Kotsay is hitting .200 and Beckham .210 its easy to say, no.

Last night with men on second and third and Mark Buehrle at 103 pitches why didn't Ozzie take him out and bring in Santos. Santos the fire balling relieve pitcher would have been a much better match up facing the .188 right handed hitter that Texas had up. This .188 hitter got a single off of the tired Buehrle and knocks in two runs. Ozzie is being to loyal to his players by not taking Mark out of the game. It's time for this team to kick it up a notch or let General Manager Kenny Williams re-tool. This year cross town rivalry won't be much fun when both teams are in last place.
