Opening Day in Chicago is always a trick shot and today is no different. The tarp is still on the field and rain is falling. Tom Skilling says there's pea to marble sized hail in the forecast. In the event of a rain delay we'll bring you play-by-play...

Things seemed to be going according to form—at least recent form—for the White Sox on Tuesday night. An early lead disappeared when three bloop hits preceded a no-doubt-about-it grand slam off starter Jon Garland. Just like that, the Sox were staring at...

Wonder what was worse Tuesday for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, spending the night at the hospital or watching the display his team put on in his absence. As Guillen lay in a hospital bed with kidney stones, his best friend and new ace of the staff,...

At this time of year, losing a game is bad. Losing Magglio Ordonez would be intolerable. As they awaited the result of X-rays on Ordonez's left index finger Friday night, the White Sox fell into too deep of a hole, even against a last-place team on...

In the fourth inning, Bartolo Colon struck out one batter with a curveball, another on a tailing fastball and a third with an 83 m.p.h. changeup. Colon can still blow hitters away with a triple-digit heater, but now he's equally content to reach into his...

Maybe it's a hangover from being swept by the first-place Minnesota Twins. Maybe it's finally realizing that life without Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez may mean going without a division title. Whatever the reasons, the White Sox need to find some...

In the span of 5 2/3 innings Tuesday night, both the promise and the puzzlement of Jose Contreras were on full display. After two pitches, he was behind after giving up a leadoff home run to Omar Infante. After five pitches, he had given up another...

Seattle Mariners pitcher Damian Moss, a former Oriole, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's Francisco Cordova were among 38 players suspended yesterday for violating baseball's minor league steroids policy. The Oakland Athletics' David Castillo was...

Well, at least the winning run didn't score on an error. Small consolation for a White Sox team that is falling into the habit of giving games away. Friday night's gift, courtesy of a bases-loaded walk from Damaso Marte to Bobby Higginson in the eighth...

Different night, slightly different set of circumstances, but very much the same, sorry result. Carlos Guillen drew a bases-loaded walk from Cliff Politte in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory over the White Sox before...

Ray Durham wasn't supposed to play Sunday. But when White Sox manager Jerry Manuel called on the second baseman to pinch-hit with the bases loaded and the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, Durham responded with a two-run single for the go-...
