Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
1. Nationals (3): While the spotlight has been on the highly debated Stephen Strasburg decision, Davey Johnson's lineup came together in late August and rolls toward the first playoff baseball Washington has seen since 1933. Bryce Harper and friends hit...Tags: Mike Scioscia, Tampa Bay Rays, Adam Jones (baseball), Derek Holland, C.J. Wilson (baseball)

Your Morning Phil: Rios, Sox, Sveum
Talking baseball while congratulating the Louisville Cardinals for winning one for their horribly injured teammate, Kevin Ware. 1. Growing up in Puerto Rico, Alex Rios idolized Juan Gonzalez. If the White Sox are going to contend this season, they need...

Ho-hum greets opening day in Chicago
Chicago baseball returns Monday with a basis to be genuinely excited about possibilities of the future, but enough about Rosemont. As for citywide interest in the Cubs and Sox, the list of reasons to drop everything and pay attention is here somewhere...

No surprise that U.S. is out of WBC early again
SAN FRANCISCO — All things being equal … Sorry, but, all things being equal, that is one of the most misleading phrases in the English language. All things are never equal. There always are advantages and disadvantages in life, and the best...

Sox's Sale should employ lesson well
You almost never can boil a baseball season down to one game, let alone one pitch. But when I break down what happened to the White Sox down the stretch in 2012, when a potentially great season for rookie manager Robin Ventura turned into a learning...Tags: Physical Fitness and Exercise, Matt Kemp, Comerica Park, Johnny Bench, Travis d'Arnaud

'Call Me, Maybe' singer playing free show in Chicago, Marc Anthony hosting fundraiser at Sofitel, Chet Haze's new music video
You’ve heard “Call Me, Maybe” all over the radio and watched the many parodies of it on YouTube (I like the Jimmy Fallon version with The Roots the best). Now is your chance to see the song of the summer performed in person – and...

The Sox are done, so Williams had better get started
It doesn’t do any good to fire Ozzie Guillen. It doesn’t do any good because he’s not to blame. The White Sox players are. Blame them. Trade them. This Sox season is o-vuh. Sox management shoved “All In,’’...Tags: St. Louis Cardinals, Brent Morel, Will Ohman, Baseball, Alexei Ramirez

Your Morning Phil: Miller, Feldman, A.J.

Rios: From bad to best
For the longest time, it appeared that Adam Dunn was a lock for Comeback Player of the Year, and he still might win it as he heads to another 40-homer/100-RBI season after last year’s 11-homer/42-RBI disaster. But I’d suggest Alex Rios...

Rios really has turned things around

White Sox GM Williams making all the right moves
It's never easy for Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox, but year after year they find ways to stretch the payroll and keep things interesting. That sweetheart stadium deal certainly helps. So does the Comcast SportsNet Chicago deal. But at the end of...
