By Jim Margalus ⋅ August 20, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

In the wake of the feel-good 21 hits of the summer, this edition of the Christian Marrero Reading Room contains lighter fare.

A nation turns its lonely eyes to Teahen

By Jim Margalus ⋅ August 13, 2010 ⋅ 19 comments

When Mark Teahen left the White Sox in the fourth inning of a game against the Rays on May 30, they were 21-28 and eight games back of the Minnesota Twins.

White Sox pants Rowland-Smith

If nobody else is going to use that headline, I will. I had a busy day, so a brief poll will have to do. If this report is true, would you trade six years of Daniel Hudson for two months (and maybe October) of Adam Dunn: Also, Omar Vizquel broke the party line, saying that [...]

All right with left side of infield

By Jim Margalus ⋅ July 21, 2010 ⋅ 27 comments

Alexei Ramirez dropped jaws with an incredible play for the penultimate out of the White Sox’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 [...]

BP ties make a bad thing worse

By Jim Margalus ⋅ June 11, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Remember when the BP Crosstown Cup was merely a transparent cash grab, and not a reminder of a horrific, unprecedented environmental distaster? Those were the days. Alas, the partnership between the White Sox, Cubs and BP has blown up in their faces beyond anybody’s worst nightmare, and the only resort is for all sides to [...]

Vizquel the DH is history, repeating

By Jim Margalus ⋅ May 15, 2010 ⋅ 16 comments

Back in April 2007, Jim Thome strained a muscle in his rib cage that caused him to miss nearly a month of action.  In turn, it placed an enormous amount of strain on an already struggling White Sox offense. Ozzie Guillen suddenly had to replace a guy who had an on-base percentage of .553 at [...]

Numbers rackets

By Jim Margalus ⋅ February 9, 2010 ⋅ 19 comments

On the heels of a big announcement about numbers, I have one of my own. Ladies and Gentlemen, White Sox Outsider 2010 will be about five pages longer than its predecessor! It’s checking in at 226 pages, not counting the extraneous pages before (title, contents, etc.) and after (index). Rough math suggests that the new [...]

Small deal, big deal for Vizquel

By Jim Margalus ⋅ November 24, 2009 ⋅ 9 comments

Omar Vizquel, upon having officially signed with the White Sox for one year and $1.375 million, spoke to the media at a press conference, where the team made a big deal over what uniform number he would take and how he would play a part in a legacy at shortstop. I don’t remember the Sox [...]

Old news: On Vizquel, Jenks and Contreras

By Jim Margalus ⋅ November 22, 2009 ⋅ 9 comments

There’s still time for Omar Vizquel to change his mind, you know. The rumored one-year deal to aquire the quadragenerian shortstop hasn’t been made official; MLB.com, the Trib and Sun-Times are all calling it varying degrees of “close.” Back in 2004, all outlets were saying the same thing as the Sox and Vizquel worked toward [...]
