Yes, it's true: America made history last night.
For the first time ever, the President of the United States of America will possess one quality that sets him apart from the rest; that shows his true commitment to excellence; that proves the strength of his character; that displays the wisdom and dignity of a great leader.
All the rumors you've heard are true: President Elect of the United States of America Barack Obama is a die hard White Sox fan.

I expected the Sox to lose Thursday afternoon in Tampa. So why am I angry?
Every team loses once in a while. But there is just something about the collection of guys on this Sox team that causes them to look terrible when they lose. Blood-boilingly terrible. How-can-they-live-with-themselves terrible. It's not a case of playing a hard-fought game and coming out on the losing end. It's a maddening failure to so much as force the other team to work for their victory.
AJ likes to tell opponents to "wear it." I wish he'd tell them to "earn it."
Today's game had all...more
The White Sox announced their playoff roster today, with very few surprises. The pitching situations were all handled well. The team justifiably gave up on mid-August acquisition Horacio Ramirez, who posted some of the worst statistics for any relief pitcher in major league history during his couple of months in Chicago. Fellow lefty Clayton Richard will handle all LOOGY duties not taken by Matt Thornton. (Memo to Ramirez and Boone Logan: Have a good one. You gone.)
Mike Macdougal, more than likely, will never don a Sox uniform again as well. He complained in April when he was sent to the...more
Twenty-four hours from now you'll know who's going to the playoffs from the AL Central. Until then, five questions that arose from the Twins two straight victories over the Sox in the Dome.
1. Why was Dewayne Wise leading off? Based on his recent play, Wise deserves to be in the line up just about every day, especially when you consider the lack of alternatives. But lead off? Orlando Cabrera, who's been an odd fit for the spot all season, is batting .353 with a .409 OBP this month, out-producing every regular on the team. Why was last night, the 157th game of the...more
In the wake of record setting rainfall in the Chicago area, the following areas were declared disaster areas: all roads near the Des Plaines River, DuPage County and the White Sox bullpen.
Indeed, for most of the weekend the Sox were up Ike's creek without a paddle.
When, after two days of delayed action, baseball finally resumed Sunday afternoon, the Sox swept a doubleheader from the Tigers--the first a Sox team has won two on the same day since 2001--to regain a 1.5 game lead on the Twins. But it wasn't easy.
To keep with the flooding theme, both the Sox
