I’m no fan of Halloween, but the guys at Oral Sox managed to make it something worthwhile with their newest installment of “The Offseason.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0wRTecPEoE[/youtube] Awesome, awesome work guys.
There goes the neighborhood
I’m not necessarily opposed to adding more of a neighborhood around U.S. Cellular Field, but I am vehemently opposed to it when the topic is broached as such: Many Chicagoans have long complained that when they go to a White Sox game on the South Side, there aren’t any restaurants or bars right outside the [...]
Greg Walker: “I’m the right man for the job.”
Over the years, it’s been hard to find new things to say about Greg Walker. The Sox have had the same issues with cold weather, advance scouting and prolonged slumps for years, and nothing changes. People around the Sox organization insist that Walker is the first to arrive at the ballpark and the last to [...]
Dotel’s advocate
A couple more offseason plans arrived in my e-mail today. Not to spoil them, but they both start by letting Octavio Dotel leave without offering arbitration. That has been the one unanimous decision in all the offseason plans thus far. Letting Jermaine Dye walk is a close second, but some have at least entertained the [...]
Viciedo injured, and one more plan
We can officially call Dayan Viciedo’s first minor-league season “underwhelming.” His Arizona Fall League experience came to an end on Monday. He’d missed the last handful of games, and it turns out elbow inflammation is the culprit. His final AFL line is full of 1′s and 6′s: 18 AB, 6 R, 6 H, 1 2B, [...]
Fourth anniversary, fourth plan
Four years ago, the White Sox gave fans the greatest day in the history of their baseball-loving lives. Therefore, it’s only fitting that we take a look at a fourth plan of attack for the 2009-10 offseason. This one comes all the way from Singapore courtesy of theghostofmansoolee, whose living entity served as the bullpen [...]
Prospect odd and ends, and another offseason plan
Before going into our next offseason plan, here’s C.J. Retherford hitting a homer off Stephen Strasburg. His at-bat begins at the 1:30 mark: [youtube width="480" height="295"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bCcsCP7phU&&start=90[/youtube] (h/t Larry at South Side Sox.) *************************** And now onto our third set of 2009-10 plans, courtesy of Kevin: Arbitration and re-signings: 1. Decline arbitration to Dotel This just [...]
The offseason’s first Kenny cryptogram
As we continue to peer-review our offseason plans, Kenny Williams gives us something to chew on. It’s not a whole lot, of course. Having an entire article based on KenSpeak is the equivalent of putting a bag of oranges into the Juice Loosener. You might get a drop of information out of it, if you’re [...]
knoxfire30′s 2010 White Sox offseason plan
Big ups to an apparently sober Knox for taking the first crack at hashing out a feasible plan for an offseason strategy, turning it around so fast and so thoroughly (seriously, it was a matter of an hour or so) that it almost concerns me. Here are the guidelines, if you missed them, and below [...]
Fantastic newness!
*Newness! I’ve created a new Facebook page for Sox Machine, if you haven’t already noticed. I hate the phrase “become a fan,” but it definitely wouldn’t suck if you went ahead with it. It’ll probably be rather quiet during the offseason, but ultimately I’d like to use it as: A way to make new posts [...]
