Sox hopes rest on Sale's shoulders

Little fish making big splash for White Sox
Who are the piranhas now? Ozzie Guillen used to say the Twins were like those flesh-eating fish, chewing up opponents. But now it's the White Sox, their front office and pro scouts especially, who are feeding off of others. After Monday's 5-4 win over...

Talking baseball while hoping the Bulls can avoid leaking talent in the off-season. The White Sox have a new rallying cry, and it’s silly. Hey, we’re 17-21, look at us now! That was the talk coming out of the clubhouse and the broadcast...

Improving home record could push Sox over top in AL Central
Not one team in the American League Central has a winning record at home this season. If the first-place White Sox can take care of business at U.S. Cellular Field, the division title could be attainable. The Sox are 16-19 at the Cell and 19-13 on the...

White Sox need more starts like Quintana's
Jose Quintana does not tiptoe into a room. He opens the door and waltzes right in, sometimes to stick around, sometimes to be promptly escorted out. It's a direct approach, one built around challenging hitters with strikes, and the White Sox prefer it to...
