Chris Sale Does Not Have Bones In His Body, Defies Physics
Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale is, on a per-inning basis, currently pitching more or less the way Sandy Koufax did in his prime.

White Sox Boned By Catcher-Blocking-The-Plate Rule, Ventura Loses It

After nearly every start this season, White Sox pitcher Chris Sale has met a specific objective: Incorporate a predetermined word into his postgame conference....
Adam Dunn Pitched In A Game Tuesday Night
If there is a silver lining to a 15-0 game, it's the possibility that you might see something absurd, like watching a bear-man with 457 career home runs pitch in the ninth inning. Adam Dunn was called in to pitch the final inning for the White Sox tonight in a Rangers blowout. In one inning of wor...

Here's Frank Thomas's Emotional HOF Induction Speech
On the other end of the Hall-of-Fame-Speech spectrum, Frank Thomas gave a pretty touching speech today at the Hall of Fame and spent almost the entire time either crying or fighting off the tears. He spoke fondly of his parents and family and got very emotional when speaking about his father (whic...

Red Sox Outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. Lays Out For A Magnificent Catch
Jackie Bradley, Jr.'s been a lackluster hitter for the Red Sox, but his play in the outfield can make up for it. (His averages will improve with time, anyway.) Bradley's fielding prowess was put on display tonight when he went a long way to rob White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers of a hit....
Alleged Murderer Has Cardinals And White Sox Logos Among His Face Tats
This Chicago man has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly shooting and killing a man over the 4th of July weekend.

Hero White Sox Fan Snags Flying Bat, Saves Baby
Eileen Depesa thought quickly—and acted quicker, with a one-handed snag of Tyler Flowers's runaway bat that seemed to be heading right for the infant sitting directly behind her. The gentleman next to her, ducking for cover? He did not acquit himself nearly so well....
Chris Sale Remains Impossible
Last night, pitching against the Yankees, Chris Sale struck out Brendan Ryan on a diving change-up that had Ryan so far out in front and swinging so hard that his bat flew out of his hands, helicoptering across the infield and landing near the lip of the grass. On the next pitch, Sale threw pretty m...

José Abreu Is The Game's Best Old-Fashioned Slugger
José Abreu had himself a damn weekend. On Friday night, he clubbed two home runs—including a walk-off grand slam that nearly led to old bastard Hawk Harrelson having an on-air joy-aneurysm—and drove in six runs against the Tampa Bay Rays. On Sunday, he came away with two more hits and four more RBI,...
Hawk Harrelson Takes To MLB Network To Complain About Hemorrhoids
Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson turned up on Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's MLB Network show High Heat yesterday, and things went pretty much exactly as you'd expect, with lots of talk about Carl Yastrzemski, Tony La Russa, and this year's purportedly dangerous White Sox squad.
