May 4, 2012....I only had time to update the news page today, but I wanted to get on here real quick and say HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY to my Nana. Some of my earliest baseball memories are of watching the Mets with her in the 80's. She's an awesome lady- love you Nana!
May 2, 2012....So Gordon Beckham's bat finally woke up last night as the Sox killed the Indians 2-7. Chris Sale pitched a pretty good game and lookie here, the Sox are tied for 1st:
Check out the news and video pages for updates.
May 1, 2012....Can you believe it's May already? The first month of the season is in the books and here's how we're looking:
Tonight's game got off to a late start thanks to mother nature. It's the bottom of the 3rd right now, 1-2 Sox. As far as updates go, I only got around to the news page today. Check back tomorrow for more :)
APRIL 29, 2012....So the White Sox, in their Sunday reds (still hate these uniforms) beat the Red Sox this afternoon 4-1. I'm updating the news page right now, tomorrow I'll get around to screen grabbing some of the recent interviews. Monday is an off day and then the Indians come to Chicago Tuesday for a three game set. All games are @ 7:10 EST. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
APRIL 28, 2012....Thanks God it's the weekend! I've been playing catch up on the news page
this morning. I also added some photos. Tonight's game is a 7:10 EST start...and all I can say is Peavy better have his stuff tonight.
RIP Moose Skowron
APRIL 25, 2012.....Konerko hit #400 (Hawk says "HELL YES!" That was awesome!) but the Sox lost to Oakland in 14 innings. At least the Sox are headed back home to play the Red Sox tomorrow. The game's on MLB Network at 8pm EST. So until tomorrow..... I updated the news page and the videos page.
APRIL 24, 2012.....It's a busy week for me, so here's a few quick updates: the news page and the screen grabs page.
APRIL 21, 2012.....WOW!! Philip Humber threw a PERFECT GAME this afternoon! Since it was on FOX and wasn't the regional game for me, I only saw the bottom of the 9th- but wow, that must have been one hell of a game. Congrats to Philip & GO SOX! I updates the news page and the videos page. I should have some new screen grabs and photos up tomorrow. Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
APRIL 16, 2012.....What the hell happened last night? Seriously, I fell asleep before the game went downhill and was not expecting to see what I saw on the highlights (or low-lights) this AM. These O's are a pain in the a! So right now its the bottom of the 4th and its 0-0. I've got my fingers crossed for win #6 tonight. Here's today's updates: the news page and the videos page.
APRIL 15, 2012.....I think I jinxed it when I put the standings clip up this morning....or those God awful red uniforms were bad luck. Anyways the Tigers (ugh) beat the Sox today 5-2, dropping Chicago back into 2nd. Still, the 5-3 start has been pretty awesome right? Next up Baltimore (surprisingly in 1st place in the East) comes to town for a four game set. As far as updates go check out the news page and the videos page. And if you missed it yesterday there's a ton of new screen grabs and scans.

APRIL 14, 2012....It's been a crappy day weather wise here in FL, so I've been lazy all day- watching baseball (The Sox are winning 2-0 in the 6th) and working on this site. Here's whats new: a few news bits, a TON of new screen grabs, and a page full of videos and 40+ old Mets scans I've been slowly adding. I also added a STATS link below, but I haven't done anything with the page yet, so check on that sometime next week. Hope everyone is having a good weekend & GO SOX!
APRIL 13, 2012.....Happy Opening Day Chicago! Robin got his first home win as manager today as the White Sox beat the Tigers 5-2. Here's hoping they kill Detroit all weekend to take over 1st place. There's tons of new links on the news page and a crap load of photos from today's opener in the the 2012 gallery. Sometime tomorrow I will get to screen grabbing today's game, so be sure to check back. Don't forget tomorrow's game is 4:10 EST and 3:10 for you lucky people in Chicago. GO SOX!
APRIL 11, 2012.....The White Sox killed it today! By 'it' I mean the Indians, who lost to Chicago 10-6 this afternoon. The Sox are off tomorrow & have their home opener Friday afternoon @ 1:10 CT. As usual I updated the news page and the screen grabs gallery.
April 10, 2012.... If you didn't already know, tonight's White Sox game was postponed due to crummy weather in Cleveland. I updated the news page and the screen grabs gallery with articles & grabs from the past few days. And in case you missed it over the weekend, I started scanning old Mets stuff. I haven't put it in any kind of order yet, but here's a PREVIEW of some of the scans.

I haven't put it in any kind of order yet, but here's a PREVIEW of some of the scans.

April 7, 2012....Robin just WON his first game as a manager! The White Sox beat the Rangers 4-3. I'll update the news and pic gallery sometime tomorrow. Don't forget the White Sox/Rangers are the Sunday night game on ESPN tomorrow @ 8pm. Also, I started scanning old Mets goodies today. I haven't put them in any kind of order yet, but here's a PREVIEW of some of the scans.
April 6, 2012.....The White Sox came up short against the Rangers today 3-2.... bummer. Here's hoping Robin gets his first of many wins as a manager tomorrow.

The Sox *officially* announced their coaching staff (Super Joe McEring, Jeff Manto and Mark Parent) on Monday. Listen to the conference call here . In other Sox related news Mark Buehrle nabbed himself another gold glove and I'm totally jealous of anyone going to Sox Fest 2012.

OCTOBER 19, 2010.....Is this crap ever going to die? Ozzie's gone and still we have stuff like this. Ozzie thinks the Sox picked the right guy in Robin, he also thinks Don Cooper is Kenny William's bitch. I think this writer Joe Cowley is Ozzie's bitch.
October 17, 2011....Happy Monday! Yeah right- 'happy' and 'monday' rarely go together right? :) There's isnt really any interesting news to report other than these few bits I found.

Im not sure if it will be on tv, but as soon as I find some video of it I will put the link up here. And I actually found some Todd news- The blog BLEEDING YANKEE BLUE has an exclusive interview with Todd up. Its from September, but its new to me.
OCTOBER 9, 2011 .....I never relized what a clusterf&^% of files I had in my webshell for this site.

Here's a few grabs until Ive got everything up and running. Also, check out this interview Robin did with Boers & Bernstein of Chicago 670. Its pretty awesome :) Click hear to listen.
OCTOBER 8, 2011......It's been so long since I updated this page I couldnt even remember my user name or password! BUT I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED THAT ROBIN WAS HIRED AS THE NEW WHITE SOX MANAGER! So look for a fresh look to this page soon, and there will be plenty of news to come over the next few weeks. I havent been this excited about an upcoming baseball season in years.
