		<description><![CDATA[Though we had dreams of Daniel Hudson staking a black-and-white flag on Dallas Braden&#8217;s mound at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Sunday, he ended up making an entirely different kind of statement with his disappointing performance in the White Sox&#8217;s 6-4 loss. Simply put, it was, &#8220;Trades probably aren&#8217;t going to help.&#8221; Lest I sound overdramatic, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alexei Ramirez dropped jaws with an incredible play for the penultimate out of the White Sox&#8217;s 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.  He ranged far to his right, and with all his momentum carrying him toward third, uncoiled and launched an on-target one-hop throw scooped by Paul Konerko. What makes it all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago White Sox entered June with big aspirations and a big homestand, only to lose two of three series, including yet another one to the lowly Cleveland Indians.  Kenny Williams then declared that his team was open for business. Perhaps that was a wakeup call. Or maybe it was a bit of luck and [...]]]></description>

Rios came to the Sox after underachieving for an extended period of time in a non-intense baseball market, where he had fallen out of favor.  He crossed the point of no return when he overreacted to [...]]]></description>

He allowed 10 hits over 5 1/3 innings, gave up a 3-0 lead and started carving into his 7-3 lead as well. Part of me was hoping for a more definitive stinkbomb.  I [...]]]></description>

In an attempt to round down numerous conversations into one sentence, Dad generally feels that the White Sox think they&#8217;re taking advantage of the catbird seat by not having to swing for one or [...]]]></description>

Ozzie Guillen suddenly had to replace a guy who had an on-base percentage of .553 at [...]]]></description>

He was so good that Sox fans finally got to hear a well-worn line used in praise of their own pitcher: &#8220;You have to tip your hat to Peavy,&#8221; said Royals outfielder Scott Podsednik. &#8220;He threw the ball well. He mixed his pitches well, had command of [...]]]></description>
