White Sox Hitch Their Wagon To Obama's Star
Despite that World Series a few years ago, the White Sox do not exactly have a tradition of winning. That's probably why they are so desperate to cling to the biggest winner in the world, Barack Obama....
Revenge Is A Dish Best Served On The Front Lawn
This is how they settle disputes between rival baseball fans on the mean streets of Chicago, yo. A White Sox fan, who had been mocked all season by a Cubs fan, got ultimate revenge when the Cubs were rudely ousted from the playoffs by the Dodgers. The best part I believe is the fact that this prank ...
Rays Take Game One
Evan Longoria hit two home runs and had three RBIS and James Shields pitched ably as the Tampa Bay Rays won their first ever playoff game, defeating the Chicago White Sox 6-4. Paul Konerko led off the 9th inning with a solo shot, but the White Sox were unable to crawl back and defeat the scrappy Ray...

Black To The Future
This is the year of the coin flip. Just as Two-Face decided if you'd live or die by the flip of his lucky dollar in The Dark Knight, so did Major League Baseball in deciding where the AL Central play-in game would be held. U.S. Celluar, where the Twins were 2-7 this season? Or the Metrodome, where t...
AL Central Tie-Breaker: Twins vs. White Sox
The funny thing about tonight's game is that if either one of these teams had mustered up the intestinal fortitude to win just one more game against the Indians or freakin' Royals, we wouldn't be here tonight. (Sure, your middle infielders are real tough against the Tigers, but what about some real ...
Twins Fans Somewhat More Rabid Than Previously Thought
Earlier today I wondered aloud if there were any Twins fans out there in the Deadspinosphere, because let's face it, they've been kind of quiet lately. I was beginning to wonder if everyone in the Land 'o Lakes was busy with their stamp collections. But yeah, turns out Twins Nation is well represent...
White Sox. Twins. Tonight. For The Playoffs. Be There.
Introducing the only player in the majors whom we're sure isn't on steroids. Powered by Alexei Ramirez's sixth-inning grand slam and the encouraging signage of a large hunk of 1970s shag carpeting, the White Sox extended the American League regular season one more day with a 8-2 win over the Tigers....
Ozzie Guillen Lives to Curse Another Day
The White Sox picked a pretty good time to end their five game losing streak as they beat the Indians with a solid effort from starter Mark Buehrle. The win leaves the White Sox a half game behind the Twins who won themselves a ballgame in K.C. This gives the Sox a game tomorrow with the Detroit Tig...
Detroit Tigers' Season Cruelly Refuses To End
Despite what the calendar says, the Detroit Tigers called off their season weeks ago. They've won 5 games this month. They've lost 12 of their last 13, given six in a row to the Indians and Royals, their closer has already retired, Gary Sheffield is sharpening knives in his basement, and despite leg...
Twins Make Final, Headlong Dash Toward AL Central Title
With the Twins' most crucial three-game series of the season looming on Monday night, the Minneapolis Pioneer Press ran a column with the following headline: It's Not Likely That The Twins Can Sweep Their Final Two Series. That's the spirit, Twin Cities! But despite themselves, Minnesota fans find t...
Your American League Video Roundup; Now With More Squirrel
First of all, kudos to Cleveland broadcasters Matt Underwood and Rick Manning for not resorting to Willy Wonka references as this squirrel invades Jacobs Field in the ninth inning of the White Sox-Indians game last week. The Indians had the infield shift on and the squirrel obviously felt that third...
