Nick Swisher returned to a taciturn dugout Wednesday afternoon following his 20th homer of the season -- and the 100th of his career. -- forcing him to do the bump by himself.

Tonight ... Clayton Richard considers himself... the luckiest man ... on the face of the Earth.After getting "hit hard" to "slaughtered" before the fifth inning in each of his first three outings, the Michigan lefty somehow managed to hold the Mariners...
In spite of himself, Clayton Richard will get the start against the Seattle Mariners tonight.I really called that one, huh? At least he gets a creampuff assignment in Felix Hernandez, a.k.a. the only Seattle starter worth his considerable weight,...
Mark Buehrle found himself in an early hole after a strange defensive
gaffe, even by Sox-defense-behind-Buehrle standards. Buehrle should've
been out of the inning after Adrian Beltre hit a comebacker with
runners on first and second and one...
It's difficult to gauge how good White Sox starting pitching has been when considering the quality of the offenses they've faced over the last two weeks. Nevertheless, there are plenty of good signs if you're willing to accept them:*Javier Vazquez's...
When Orlando Cabrera took three balls out of the strike zone, then took two strikes down the pipe before going down swinging in the game's first at-bat, it became clear that the Sox had every intention of letting Gio Gonzalez dig his own grave.The plan...
Chris De Luca's piece on Juan Uribe in the Chicago Sun-Times is chock-full of salient points and good insight from Kenny Williams, bolstered by another great game by Sox's utiltyman-turned-third-baseman Saturday afternoon. Uribe drove in the Sox's...
This had all the makings of another Oakland heartbreaker -- early lead, John Danks throwing a ton of pitches, blown offensive opportunities, shoddy defense, blah blah blah......but this time, they held on.The key was the sixth inning for John Danks, who...
The wound is still too fresh to figure out where the White Sox's 6-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics Friday night fits in compared to the multitude of failures at McAfee Coliseum this decade. Friday's loss leaves the Sox with a 6-28 record in Oakland...
At the top of the seventh inning in the South Side Sox game thread, as the Sox clung to a 3-2 lead, I said:This game has all the makings of an Oakland heartreaker.Not like that was hard to predict in the House of Horrors.What were the ingredients?No....
Tying up the loose ends after the White Sox's first sweep since the beginning of July...With 5 1/3 surprising innings by Lance Broadway, Sox pitchers capped
off an excellent three days of work against the Royals, which wouldn't
be worth commending much...
A Paul Konerko non-error error could very well have prevented the Sox from racking up a third straight shutout, but they found other ways to make their mark -- or, in Carlos Quentin's case, have a mark left on him.Back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers --...

I haven't seen any of this game yet, but I'm going to want to.Just the facts:Javier Vazquez carved up the Royals, striking out 10 over eight innings, and throwing 81 of 109 pitches for strikes.A.J. Pierzynski, Jermaine Dye and Nick Swisher all homered.Chris...
Anybody else get the feeling that Ken Griffey Jr. is the bastard child of Rob Mackowiak and Darin Erstad with a Hall of Fame track record?
He inherited from Erstad a past history of playing an exceptional center field and a body that now breaks down...
Once again, John Danks pitched masterfully until the seventh inning.Once again, John Danks did not receive enough run support to allow him such a slip-up.Kevin Youkilis' broken-bat single with one out in the seventh ruined Danks' bid for a no-hitter,...
