White Sox Are ‘Running Out Time’

The White Sox open officially open the second half of their season on Friday, and after the first 92 games of the season, there’s significantly less optimism than there was during spring training.

White Sox Back In Action Against The Tigers

After a disappointing first half, the Chicago White Sox will likely face the biggest stretch of their season as they’ll play 12 consecutive games against AL Central opponents, starting with the Detroit Tigers.

Adam Dunn

AL Central Could Become ‘Four-Team Race’ With Dunn Resurgence

The Chicago White Sox will have a little more time off before they resume play on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. It’ll be a series that will hopefully showcase a different Adam Dunn than was seen in the first half, because they need it to.

White Sox A ‘Two-Week Streak’ Away From 1st Place?

The White Sox’s 44-48 record through the first 92 games of the season hasn’t necessarily led to optimism among their fans. And to make matters worse, they suffered a 3-1 series loss to the Twins heading into the All-Star break.

Jake Peavy and Don Cooper

Cooper: ‘We’re In The Hunt’ For Division Title

The Chicago White Sox are two games under .500, but because the rest of the division is struggling as well, they find themselves just four and a half games back of the Cleveland Indians.

White Sox’s Season Will ‘Be Made Or Not Made’ In July

The high expectations the White Sox had coming into this season haven’t been met, that’s no secret at all. But as bad as the team and individual players have been, they can still reach those expectations with good second half.

Jake Peavy

White Sox ‘Still Have A Shot’ At Division Title

Throughout the season, the White Sox have been plagued with an inconsistent offense and, at times, a shaky bullpen. It’s their starting pitching that’s kept them afloat, and can keep the season alive.
