Not By the Hair of My Chin: The 10 Most Grotesque Goatees in the MLB

There are a number of trends in baseball that I'd love to see die; puka necklaces, the overuse of the phrase "going yard", and shaving cream pies come to mind. At the top of the list, however, is the goatee...

2009 White Sox Player Review: Bobby Jenks

While it's no guarantee that Bobby Jenks pitched his last game with the Sox Sept. 17, if the Sox are looking to shed salary in the offseason Jenks likely will be first on the chopping block...

Chicago White Sox 2009 Preview

Chicago White Sox 2009 Preview: With a solid top end of their starting rotation, the White Sox should again contend for the AL Central title in 2009, but a lack of back end starters could prevent them from ultimately reaching the playoffs...

The Chicago White Sox' 2009 Slightly Premature Preview

As I tend to do, I've saved the favorite for last. In the American League Central, that has to be the Chicago White Sox because they are the defending champions of the division. This is certainly the most wide open set of five in Major League Baseball...

Fixing The White Sox Part 2: The Bullpen

One of the biggest issues for the Sox this season has been the bullpen. They have the 21st ranked bullpen ERA in baseball and are 18-27 in one-run games. They simply haven't been able to win games late, and a major factor in that is their suspect bullpen.

Chicago White Sox: Pitching Grades

Having already given my analysis for the Sox position players, I'm now moving on to the pitching staff. The pitching was the main reason that the Sox stayed relatively competitive for most of the year...

Learning a Lesson From Bobby Jenks

Bobby Jenks burst on the scene during the magical 2005 season for the White Sox. The 6' 3" 275 pound fireballer wasn't heralded in the minor league. His arrival wasn't meant with a thunderous standing ovation like what Gordon Beckham received this season.

Analyzing A Bullpen: White Sox Aim For Perfect Game So Pen Can't Pitch

After Mark Buehrle's perfect game, which put the White Sox in a first-place tie with the Detroit Tigers, they have lost three straight games against those same Tigers to fall three games back in the American League Central...

Guillen: Jenks Will Stay Our Closer

As all Chicago White Sox fans know (even though I'm a Cubs fan) closer Bobby Jenks has been having a little trouble closing out the games for the White Sox. Jenks has 22 saves but a very high 4...

Chicago White Sox Have to Burn Some Fat: Time to Trade Bobby Jenks

Before last season, I felt the White Sox should have kept their eyes open for deals to trade closer Bobby Jenks seeing as GMs love overpaying for closers for some reason...

White Sox Work the Small Ball and Squeeze by the Royals, 5-3

White Flag For White Sox

Well, the White Sox are only a handful of games back, but this season is over as far as I am concerned. This team is lifeless, and it is so unfortunate. 2005 looks like a distant memory right now...

White Sox Offense Clicks in 12-2 Blowout of Rays

When it rains, it pours, and when the White Sox offense is on fire, it's an inferno. In all fairness to the White Sox pitching staff, Gavin Floyd did his best not to be outdone by the great starts ...

White Sox-Rays: Bobby Jenks Escapes a Nail-Biter to Outlast Tampa Bay

Many people believe that the White Sox offense works on a feast-or-famine basis. What do you call it when the offense gets 14 hits, and can only manage to bring around three runs? For pitcher John Danks, it was almost a travesty...
