Consider the White Sox a dangerous dark horse in 2012. To get you ready for the off-season, here are five burning White Sox questions for the winter.
Kenny Williams lost his poker bet, after he pushed Jerry Reinsdorf's chips to the middle of the table and birthed a regrettable marketing slogan.
Mark Buehrle bounced back from a poor outing and pitched six effective innings, leading the Chicago White Sox past the Cleveland Indians 8-4 Wednesday night.
A.J. Pierzynski homered twice among his four hits and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 10-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen no longer sees the fight in his team. Paul Konerko doesn't see it, either. The Chicago bullpen blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the White Sox 6-5 in 10 innings on Wednesday.
Alex Rios hit a game-ending grand slam in the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 7-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.
Slumping outfielder Alex Rios snapped his bat over his knee after an eight-inning strikeout. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski broke a bat slamming it against the ground after an earlier strikeout. The Chicago White Sox are beyond frustrated with not driving in baserunners.
Jake Peavy struck out a season-high nine and Alex Rios homered to help the Chicago White Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
The shortage of production from Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham recently lead to a heated confrontation between general manager Ken Williams and hitting coach Greg Walker, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Jake Peavy's one bad inning was enough to send the Chicago White Sox to a costly loss. Jason Kubel and Luke Hughes homered during Minnesota's six-run first inning, and the Twins snapped Chicago's five-game winning streak with a 7-6 victory on Wednesday.
Gavin Floyd pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, Brent Lillibridge and Alex Rios hit two-run homers and the Chicago White Sox romped past the Texas Rangers 10-0 Sunday.
The Chicago White Sox wiped out a four-run deficit -- and lost anyway. Jason Frasor blamed himself. Manager Ozzie Guillen pointed the finger at Baltimore's J.J. Hardy.
The Chicago White Sox haven't conceded the division race, during yet another mercurial season for temperamental manager Ozzie Guillen's team. Jake Peavy sure pitched like he isn't giving up.
Paul Konerko is back in the lineup tonight against the Yankees after missing three games with a bruised calf.
With a $127,789,000 payroll, the White Sox knew they needed fans to show up to the ballpark this season. With their struggles, it hasn't happened.
Paul Konerko is out of the lineup for the second straight game (bruised calf) and Alexei Ramirez has been moved to the middle of the order.
The White Sox traded pitcher Edwin Jackson and third baseman Mark Teahen to Toronto Wednesday in exchange for pitchers Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart.
Danny Duffy returned from the minors to toss seven sharp innings, Matt Treanor delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth and the light-hitting Kansas City Royals hung on to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Ozzie Guillen kept his cool after his team let an early lead slip away, and he had a good reason for his optimistic outlook. By taking two of three from the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox showed they could compete with another AL Central contender.
White Sox general manager Kenny Williams says in an interview this week that he wants Adam Dunn and Alex Rios to quit focusing on their individual stats and instead devote their attention to helping the team win.
For the Chicago White Sox, this seemed like an appropriate All-Star break send-off -- another lousy performance, another loss. For good measure, throw in some extra angst over Jake Peavy's arm, too.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself. The game is a joke but that's a story for another day. What I'm talking about is having a few days away from the terrible season we are witnessing on both sides of town.
Dayan Viciedo's hot bat in Triple-A have many wondering whether or not he will be called up the White Sox soon.
White Sox slugger Adam Dunn has said that he only needs about 75 good swings a season to be valuable. He had one of those on Sunday afternoon.
The Cleveland Indians have faded after and unpredictably good two and a half months. With over half of the season remaining, the White Sox aren't completely out of the race for the AL Central.
