McKnight: Morel Carries Positive Attitude Through Demotion
Third baseman Brent Morel was among the latest roster cuts for the White Sox Tuesday. Morel saw regular at-bats toward the end of 2011 and at the start of 2012 but back issues forced him to miss 127 games last season.
McKnight: Sale Named Opening Day Starter
It took a while but Robin Ventura named Chris Sale his opening day starter after an 11-5 win over the Athletics, Saturday.
McKnight: Danks Will Wait For Velocity
John Danks doesn’t have the velocity he wants. He’s still not able to reach back and ask for the heat he’s used to. Worse, he’s not sure when his strength will return.
McKnight: Crain Vows He’s Getting Closer To Returning
With just 18 days left in spring training, White Sox reliever Jesse Crain promises he’s close to returning to action.
McKnight: Sale Did His Homework Before Negotiating With White Sox
Sale and his team had prepped what he wanted—what he though he was worth—and fought for it. What’s more, he went to his GM to clear the air.
Video: Cutler Throwing To Marshall At Halas Hall
Here’s your first glimpse at what the Jay Cutler/Brandon Marshall tandem will look like in Chicago.
McKnight: Maholm Falters In Wrigley Debut
Whether it was walking the leadoff man, allowing the Brewers to bat around in the first inning or hitting a pair of batters, it might be better to forget this one.
McKnight: Almost, But Not Quite, For Cubs Against Brewers
Cubs short stop Starlin Castro entered Monday’s game against the Brewers having reached base in each of the last 43-game he’d played. Making it 44 could have given the Cubs their first ninth-inning rally of the year.

McKnight: Marmol Headed for Precautionary MRI
Cubs closer Carlos Marmol left Tuesday’s game in the seventh inning with a cramp in his pitching hand. He’ll undergo a precautionary MRI on the hand to make sure there’s no damage.
McKnight: Sale Impressive, Ventura Trims White Sox Roster
Chris Sale put plenty in the rearview mirror with his start against the Reds this afternoon. The White Sox may have lost 1-0, but Sale’s six innings of two-hit, six-strikeout ball is certainly a silver lining that outshines the final score.
McKnight: Peavy Cut Loose For First Time In Weeks, Maybe Years
After throwing five innings of no-hit ball and giving up just one walk Jake Peavy’s ERA dropped from 18.69 to a healthy 8.68. It’s a start.
McKnight: Soriano Locked Into Middle Of Cubs Lineup
People used to wonder where Soriano would hit in the lineup. Whether leadoff, clean-up or eight-spot Soriano has hit from nearly everywhere. This year, manager Dale Sveum has cleared up a lot of confusion.
McKnight: Sale Frustrated With Spring Struggles
Spring has not been kind to Chris Sale. Perhaps that’s not fair. Maybe the weather, workouts, meals, golf and time with his teammates have all been kind; but the starts have not.
McKnight: White Sox Rumor Mill Never Stops
Gavin Floyd has thrown with plenty on his shoulders before. Trade rumors — substantiated or no — don’t seem to alter the burden.
McKnight: Stalberg Helps End Blackhawks’ Losing Streak
The Blackhawks are off the schneid. The four-game losing streak–longest of its kind in three years–is history.
McKnight: Assessing The Blackhawks As Christmas Break Hits
By Connor McKnight- UNITED CENTER (CBS) We’ve hit the Christmas Break and it’s time to assess just where the Blackhawks are after 35 games. As for the team, with the 5-1 win over the Canadiens, [...]
Seabrook Leveled, Quenneville Hits Plateau
Brent Seabrook was decked Sunday night. Rene Bourque’s hit wasn’t clean and the result wasn’t pretty. Luckily, it may not cost the Seabrook and the Blackhawks as much as was initially feared. “He seemed not [...]
Hawks Ugly Start Leads To So-So Finish
Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Ray Emery helped the Blackhawks salvage a point Monday night.
Leddy, D-Men Impress In Win Over Oilers
During the Blackhawks 6-3 win over the Oilers Monday night, I found myself impressed by the play of Blackhawks defensemen. Whether Steve Montador was stepping up into the play and putting moves on display that [...]
