The Tribune's White Sox reporter answers reader questions throughout the season. This week, shifting Paul Konerko to DH and Swisher to first, tracking Ken Williams' trades and Nick Swisher's pants. I know trades are too hypothetical to ask about...

Javier Vazquez saved the White Sox's recently taxed bullpen and snapped out of his slump Thursday night. But despite pitching a complete game and allowing only four hits, Vazquez and the Sox finally ran into a roadblock they couldn't avert. That...
