The Tribune White Sox beat writer answers questions throughout the season. This week, in the second of two entries, he discusses Paul Konerko's slow start, the farm report, and more on Brian Anderson. I am wondering why there was not 100 percent response...

When they needed it most, just when they had reached their lowest point in four years, the two longest tenured and most respected White Sox were there. Just as they had done the day before in a players-only meeting, Mark Buehrle and Paul Konerko stood up...

While manager Dusty Baker and most Cubs players interviewed had no problem with A.J. Pierzynski's collision with Michael Barrett, rookie left-hander Rich Hill called it "gutless" and "pathetic." "I think it was pretty gutless on their part--him hitting...

Chicago's monsoon season ended and the baseball season resumed Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field, with oars being replaced for bats. It was a successful, if somewhat bumpy, landfall for the White Sox, who swept a doubleheader from the Tigers 4-2 and 11-7...

Aaron Rowand said he didn't remember running around the bases Wednesday after hitting a grand slam against his former teammates. For the White Sox, Rowand's slam was just another kick in the ribs in their latest debacle, an 8-4 loss to the Phillies....

Two rain delays and a three-run deficit weren't about to dampen the White Sox's spirits Thursday night. Joe Crede hit a single off reliever Joba Chamberlain with one out in the ninth inning to score Carlos Quentin and vault the Sox to a 7-6 victory...

Gusts of 25 m.p.h. swirled around U.S. Cellular Field, but Thursday night's storm didn't arrive until the final two innings of the White Sox's 10-3 loss to the New York Yankees. The Sox saw a 1-1 tie end up a tough loss for starter Jose Contreras. A...

Cubs manager Lou Piniella played a game of rope-a-dope Saturday morning, declaring that Derrek Lee would not play until at least Tuesday night in San Diego. "We're not going to take any chances and jeopardize this young man," Piniella said during his...

The White Sox and opposing teams are testing general manager Ken Williams' patience. But for the second time in as many nights, the Sox gathered enough resources to pull out a victory, this one 7-6 Saturday night in Detroit, despite knowing their depth...

The White Sox produced a season-high 14 hits Monday night against the American League's top pitching staff despite missing two starters and losing hot-hitting Jermaine Dye to a fifth-inning ejection. But the offense's biggest achievement might have...

Everything is relative. Take starter Gavin Floyd's White Sox debut Friday night. Yes, he allowed six runs in a 12-0 loss to the Twins, but at least he held the Twins to only one touchdown. And that's not bad, considering the Sox lost the opener 20-14....

Only the White Sox's bullpen can make a victory feel like a loss. "These types of games get you down for a long time," manager Ozzie Guillen said after Bobby Jenks left the tying run on second base in an 11-10 win Monday night, a game the Sox had led...
