ChiSox Rants: October 2005
http://chisoxrants.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
News, notes, stats, and thoughts about the Chicago White Sox. Monday, October 31, 2005. It's Over, Over There! Not to discredit any of the other improvements the Sox have made this season (better defense/pitching, adopting an unselfish "team" attitude, bringing in a catcher who knows how to call a game and can actually hit, upgrading at 2B, etc.), but if this team were not such Road Warriors I doubt that we would be able to call them 2005 World Champions.

http://chisoxrants.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
News, notes, stats, and thoughts about the Chicago White Sox. Saturday, April 01, 2006. Contreras Signs 3-Year Extension. The Sox have signed Jose Contreras to a three-year, $29 million extension through the 2009 season. The deal is just about exactly the same in length and overall value as what Sox signed. To over the winter. Honestly, I was much more surprised when the Sox were able to sign. In signing with the Sox Contreras has shown the same loyalty. Showed back in December in that they both could ha...

ChiSox Rants: May 2005
http://chisoxrants.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
News, notes, stats, and thoughts about the Chicago White Sox. Sunday, May 29, 2005. Time To Sound Off. I don't want to go off on a rant here, but. Its hard to complain when you're team is in first place and has the best record in baseball. The lack of production from a few guys in the lineup make it hard not to though. Jermaine Dye I'm going to take it easy on because even though he's hitting just .213, he's looked better as of late and there really weren't many other options in the free agent market...

ChiSox Rants: June 2005
http://chisoxrants.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
News, notes, stats, and thoughts about the Chicago White Sox. Thursday, June 30, 2005. Sox Earn Another Sweep. Freddy Garcia dominated the Tigers this afternoon, throwing a complete game as the Sox won 6-1. Garcia had retired 14 in a row at one point in the game and I believe retired 23 out of the final 25 batters in the game. He finished with 8K's and surrendered 1 run on 5 hits. On top of that, he's no better bet than Duque to stay off the DL. All around, this just seems like a bad idea. I'll take a &#...

ChiSox Rants: August 2005
http://chisoxrants.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
News, notes, stats, and thoughts about the Chicago White Sox. Friday, August 19, 2005. The Dog Days of Summer. I realize that this guy is most likely a first-ballot HOF'er and is having a solid season for the Reds, hitting .290 with 29 homers and 85 RBI in 113 games. My question is. How much financial flexibility will the Sox be left with to improve the club during this off-season and in years to come with Griffey Jr.'s bloated contract on our books? The point that is being made by many is that the Sox l...
