Hello Sox Fans!!!! Sorry that I have been away from talking to you. Unfortunately, my “real” job got in the way of me keeping up as meticulously as I should with White Sox news of late. However, hopefully you’ve been kept abreast of what has been happening with the team.

So far this off season, we’ve seen some decent re-signings as well as having to say goodbye to old favorites we all love for one reason or another. And now that it is late January, we might be starting to get itchy for baseball. The World Baseball Classic will soon be starting up, which will slightly fill the role of the game until Opening Day. Speaking of WBC, congratulatiosn to Jesse Crain (Team Canada), Alex Rios, Hector Santiago, Andy Gonzalez (Team Puerto Rico) and Andre Rienzo (Team Brazil) on their participation. But of course, the big news is that SoxFest is next weekend. Are you going to be there? If not, no worries as I will be there again to live tweet what is happening. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for all the happenings at SoxFest. » Continue reading “Spring Is On The Way”

Happy December. The year has flown by and with it being December, it means we are that much closer to spring training and baseball being back. I don’t know about you, but I am dying for some news and things of note with the White Sox. There have been some things happening but nothing earth shattering and worthy of stopping the presses to discuss. In that vein, here are some things you might have missed the past few days.

James and Jim both have stories about the ticket prices for Sox games for the 2012 season. There have even been reductions for prices to Spring Training games for both the Sox and Dodgers. As you may or may not know, I have a full season ticket plan and needless to say, I was quite surprised with how much my ticket price had dropped for 2012. However, from what James and Jim have figured out, there may not be much savings for the casual fan or those who have the new Pick 14 plan. Or at least savings will be hard to determine. In any event, it is nice that the team is FINALLY lowering prices instead of raising them despite economic conditions and the product on the field.

Yahoo has a look at the top five First Basemen in White Sox history. If you have followed this team even remotely, most of the names on this list will be of no shock to you. And yes, the Big Hurt and The King make the list.  » Continue reading “Happenings At 35th & Shields: White Sox News for December 1, 2011″
