Do the right thing, Kenny

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Watching the soap opera that is Mark Buehrle’s contract negotiations with the White Sox is like riding a rollercoaster. Up one day, then a sharp drop the next. This morning we’re at the bottom of the sharp drop, and hoping the ride goes up again before it ends. A no-trade clause appears to be a […]

Almost perfect

Friday, April 20th, 2007

There can’t be a pitcher who deserved to throw a no-hitter more than Mark Buehrle, who’s been the heart and soul of the White Sox rotation for years. Good thing they got him some runs Wednesday night. He’s pitched so many games without any support from the hitters. So well done, Mark. Let’s hope Ken […]

mlb.tv is back - and finally works on a Mac

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

The eagerly anticipated start of another baseball season brings joy at last for Mac owners who have struggled to watch mlb.tv for the past two season. They’ve finally released a Mac version of the Mosaic player and it seems to work, sort of. But it’s only for people with some kind of fantasy league fetish […]

Way to go, Mags!

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

The disappointment of the White Sox failing to make the playoffs was eased at least a bit by two former Sox stars getting their chance at the big prize. The Big Hurt had a great year, but failed miserably when it really mattered. But Magglio Ordonez lived up to our expectations and then some. We’ll […]

My idea of multitasking

Sitting here watching the White Sox play the Rangers live on mlb.tv while also watching (and listening to) Red Hot Chili Peppers live on stage at Rock in Rio in Lisbon. The future? It’s here.

Play ball!

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

I’m feeling very confident as the new baseball season is about to begin. Although not that confident that tonight’s game will actually be played, given the weather in Chicago today. But I think the Sox made all the right moves in the offseason - e.g. bye-bye Big Hurt, hello Jim Thome, who hit eight homers […]

OK, so I was wrong…

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

I’ve been going through several years’ worth of posts on this blog as part of the redesign process, and it hasn’t always been a pleasant experience. Especially when you come across some of the really stupid things you’ve said (often more than once)!

Watching mlb.tv on a Mac (again)

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

About a year or so ago, I discovered a way to watch MLB.tv games in full-screen mode on a Mac, and I am absolutely certain that I posted an entry on the old blog about it. Now it seems to have disappeared in the ether, so I’m posting an updated hint again, since lots of […]

Paulie’s Staying Put - Yes!

The best news we’ve heard in a long time: Paul Konerko re-signs with the Sox!
