Just read about Kevin Hickey being in a coma down in Texas. What a shame.

 

I saw he was in the hospital earlier today. Any idea what is wrong?

apparently they found him unconscious in his hotel room in Arlington. He's a diabetic and they think it might be a result of that.

Weird story. He is an insulin dependent diabetic and he was found unresponsive in his hotel room, but his vital signs are fine.

Wow. Hopefully he recovers. He has been with the organization forever.

The Sox are the Wild Card leaders right now. Just sayin....lol.

So the White Sox control their own "playoff" destiny. No pressure guys.

Don't stop now boys!

Yep, only six teams in the majors have a better record. And we're 2-2 against arguably the two best teams in the American League...all while setting a pace for the most strikeouts in American League history.

 

 

 

"We're not here to dictate what his managerial style should be," Williams said. "So far, what I've seen is an aggressive, intelligent approach to making his decisions. That's all you can ask.

 

"He's got such a strong presence but a humbleness about him. (Combine) that with the confidence you just don't find very often ... and when you are like that and not pushing people away with their opinions, you are going to get the (best) of their knowledge."

 

Ventura joined Guillen, Jerry Manuel, Terry Bevington and Gene Lamont in winning his first home game as Sox manager. And how did he plan to celebrate?

 

With a quiet meal with family.

As far as strikeouts (not sure if yesterdays game was counted) We were tied for 3rd (Red Sox, Blue Jays) with 57, and ahead of us Mariners 59Ks and A's 64Ks

 

The #WhiteSox-Cleveland game on 4/10 has been rescheduled for 5/7 as part of a day-night doubleheader.

 

First game starts at 12:05PM CDT, second game at 6:05PM CDT.

Considering what we saw Wednesday, I doubt there will be more than 7,500 people at the first game.

Bit of a baseball newb but is it just me or is 20/1 really good value for the White Sox to win the AL Central?

Better bet now than it would have been about a month ago, but I still wouldn't put more than a few bucks on it.

 

And welcome aboard!

Getting into baseball now, shame I can't get many White Sox games in Ireland. MLB Gameday will have to do!

Why stop at Gameday? MLB.tv is where it's at! Well worth $120/year for us out-of-towners!

 

Also, quite glad you picked the Sox out of all the baseball teams you could have chosen. You won't regret it! Or maybe you will. But probably not.

Always good to see some national recognition:

Excellent work out of the White Sox bullpen so far -- four earned runs in 18 1/3 innings...

 

Where are the 90-loss people? (You know who you are.)

Dodgers 8-1

Rangers 7-2

Nacionales 7-2

Mets 6-2

Calcetines Blancos (White Sox) 5-2

D-Backs 5-2 (leading now 5-4 against Rockies)

Cardinales 6-3

 

 

I know in my situation, the video feed just doesn't work well enough where I live in China, because my laptop's on the same phone line/network as everyone in our school and there's so much traffic during the schoolweek or in the mornings when most of the games are on...typically 7-8-9-10 a.m.

 

It's okay on the weekends for me to watch day games...or any games from about 1 a.m - 7 a.m.

 

But I'll always keep GAMEDAY AUDIO, that's best bargain in sports, and you can listen to every team and every set of announcers. Maybe it reminds me of the 1980's when I would listen to all the White Sox games on WMAQ (such a strong signal at night from Chicago, all the way to Iowa and beyond) and then the Cardinals games with Buck and Shannon through KMOX or a local affiliate on the Cardinals network.

 

Before the Rockies, Royals, Astros, Rangers and Braves, the Cardinals were the team of everyone in the Deep South, Texas and near west/Rocky Mountains.

That Sale-Strasburg game 1 of the World Series is going to be a doozy. And Hector k'ing Harper for a White Sox winner and a World Championship, awesome.

Jim Leyland praises the White Sox over and over again and rips on prognosicators/analysts/writers.

At his very core, Leyland has White Sox blood.
