The Chicago White Sox acquire lefty Horacio Ramirez from the Royals

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 05:28:38 +0000

GM Kenny Williams didn’t wait long in trying to replace Jose Contreras as he has acquired lefty starter/reliever Horacio Ramirez from the Royals for minor league outfielder Paulo Orlando. 28-year old lefty Horacio Ramirez has been pitching well out of the bullpen for the Royals this season. He has pitched in 15 games [...] [via http://www.whitesoxlocker.com/ @ August 10, 2008 @ 5:28am]

Floyd Wins a Snoozer

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:02:25 +0000

The Sox had as many hits against Brian Burres before he recorded an out Wednesday as they did in 8 innings of effort in April. The recap of that game describes a fait accompli, all but over when John Danks lost his perfect game and shutout in the 6th inning. This game had pretty much the same feel, though thankfully with the teams reversed.

Orlando Cabrera led off the game with a bloop double, and Nick Swisher, batting in the #2 hole with AJ Pierzynski getting the night off, hit a HR in the game's second at-bat, to set the tempo for the night. All told, the Sox pounded out 9 extra-base hits on the evening, including 3 by Cabrera, to give themselves a 6-0 lead by the middle of the 4th inning and send the gamethreads into a blissfully sweet slumber.

Looking back at that April recap, the Sox have come a long way from the team "weighed down by three automatic outs at the bottom of the lineup." They've been downright dangerous from 1 through 9 since the addition of their new hitting coach at the deadline. Dare I say, they're even beating up the teams and pitchers you're supposed to bash into last week, the RA Dickeys of the baseball world. They almost look like a playoff team. Almost.

The last 30 games will tell the story.

* * * * *

Swisher left the game after fouling a ball of his leg. The leg was last seen in the mouth a wolf roaming Baltimore's inner harbor on a skateboard*, which is a dangerous place for a skateboarding wolf, dude. It's not known if Swisher's prosthetic leg, fashioned out of a discarded baseball bat (ash, not maple), will be ready in time for tomorrow's game.

* Everyone knows wolves can't ride skateboards. Stupid.

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:02:44 +0000

Down by a run in the 14th inning, Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen called for a bunt to put the tying run in scoring position. Strange thing was, the White Sox were playing the role of the home team in Baltimore. Lou Montanez singled in the tiebreaking run in the top of the 14th, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Chicago 4-3 Monday night in the conclusion of a game suspended after 11 innings by rain on...

Chris De Luca: Shortstop Orlando Cabrera was never supposed to be the White Sox' leadoff hitter this season. He was pegged for the No. 2 spot in manager Ozzie Guillen's lineup from the day he was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels for pitcher Jon Garland.
