Almost that time again...

Is it time for spring games yet? Getting close... time to dust off the gloves and the TV, and sit back and watch the roster moves. I'm feeling good about the White Sox and 2008!

I'm still here! And so are the White Sox, apparently.

Discouraged? Me? Not after their last game. :)

The White Sox need a win!

So right-hander Javier Vazquez thinks he can put an end to the nasty five-game losing streak? I have only one thing to say to that.

PLEASE DO!

This is getting depressing. Javier, if you can hand it to the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night, I'll name my dog after you. Okay, maybe just one of his dog toys. Just win, please!

Indians 12, White Sox 5

Relievers Andrew Sisco and David Aardsma picked up Jose Contreras on Monday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field during one of the worst starts in the right-hander's highly successful five-year Major League career.

Sisco threw two perfect innings against the Indians, striking out two, while Aardsma allowed one run over two innings, expressing disappointment over the two walks he allowed. But what if both Sisco and Aardsma would have taken the mound on Opening Day and flat-out struggled? Would they have immediately been sent back down to Triple-A Charlotte?

$4.94 million dollars??? Nice $2 mil raise for Joe Crede. Hope it's worth it to the White Sox.

Another Free Agent Signed

The Chicago White Sox agreed to a 3-year $6.45 million contract with Mike MacDougal, free agent from the Kansas City Royals. Last season, MacDougal went 1-1 with a 1.55 ERA in 29 appearances. MacDougal made his one and only all star appearance in 2003 when he played for the Royals.

Stay or Go on White Sox Roster?

Much talk and speculation about whether or not Posednik and Uribe should be allowed to play for the White Sox any longer after their performances this year. Should we hold out hope that they will recover their game and gives what they gave last year or assume it's a downward spiral from here? Those faithful to the team are seriously reconsidering whether spending the money on the tickes is worth it anymore considering how many pleayers seem to have given up on the team. However, on the other side of the arguement offense has greatly improved. Thanks for that should be given to Greg Walker (hitting couch) and to Jim Thome and Frank Thomas. In fact Thomas, has been said to be the "most prolific hitter in the history of the White Sox." Better luck next time and keep up the great offense!

White Sox Making a Move?

Have you heard that the L.A. Dodgers are thinking of moving their spring training facilities to Glendale, Arizona, from the place in Florida where they set up spring camp back when the team was still based in Brooklyn? It would ruffle some feathers and cost a few bucks, but it makes sense, since they are clearly entrenched in the West.

But for some reason, Glendale is also starting up talks with the Chicago White Sox to see if we will do the same thing. Only the Sox are already in Arizona, so the hassle and expense would basically move the team’s spring training from Tucson to Phoenix. The current training stadium is shared with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but I doubt the folks in Glendale are offering the Sox a private one if they’re inviting the Dodgers to be in town at the same time. So the White Sox are considering breaking a contract that is supposed to run through 2013 because…you tell me. I think I only know about half this story so far.

World Series' Ratings

Okay, so I haven't scored tickets to sit in the snow and rain in Detroit or St. Louis. I still have been watching the Series on TV. The way some radio commentators have been talking, that puts me in a group of like a dozen fans.

One guy wants to see the New York Yankees play in every World Series -- because they have more celebrities than the Tigers or the Cardinals! Which would be better for television ratings. He specifically said David Eckstein was not exciting enough to watch -- tell that to the Tigers!

World Series Tickets?

Seeing as the 2006 World Series will be in Detroit, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the games will be very handy for baseball fans in Chicago who have tickets. And a private jet.

Really, it would be great to get tickets to any of the games. Mets fans, can you help me out?
