White Sox vs. Rays 8/24/08
12:13 Welcome to the second consecutive day of live-blogging action. Today the White Sox try to avoid the sweep against the very game Tampa Bay Rays. For a team that doesn’t have three of their big guns, they certainly have found ways to win each of these first two games. They really have the look of a special team as much [read more...]
Sox vs. Rays Blog 8/23/08
2:44 It’s time for another live blog. Today’s game is a big one, not only because it’s a battle of two pennant contenders, but because the Tampa Bay Ray Devil Rays actually get a nationally televised game. This is one of the benefits of actually being good. Last night was a rough game for the home team. John Danks pitched well, [read more...]
Chicago White Sox Ongoing Diary, Part Deux
Welcome to another ongoing blog (Blog is far hipper than diary these days.) of the White Sox game. Over the next several hours, I’ll be bring you some thoughts and observations about today’s get away day fame featuring the Chicago White Sox against the Kansas City Royals. I will try to make the observations poignant and funny. The odds are [read more...]
An Ongoing Sox Diary
4:47 I’ve been at the ballpark for an hour or so. In that time, I interviewed Kenny Williams (which went about as well as Rex Grossman running the first team offense), watched the heavens pour down onto the tarp (of course sponsored by Ace Hardware), and meet more Japanese people in five minutes then I had in the last five years. [read more...]
The White Sox Starring Carlos Quentin
The White Sox managed to avoid a sweep by the Los Angeles Angels thanks to a fantastic effort from Jose Contreras, who continues to show the same flashes of brilliance as he did in 2005, and Carlos Quentin. Quentin continues to be one of the biggest finds in this offseason for Kenny Williams. Williams had taken a lot of deserved shots [read more...]
No One’s Excited for the Rush
While reading a story about Avery Johnson being interested in the Bulls' job... hmm, I wonder if getting the number one pick influenced his decision, they had a poll question asking which Chicago team you're most excited about. The Cubs, Sox, Blackhawks, Bulls, Sky, Fire, Wolves, and the Rush were listed. Despite a Rush division title and eight straight playoff [read more...]
Finding a Way to Win
I don't know if anyone realizes this, but the Chicago White Sox have won eight in a row and are in first place. Granted, they're in a weak division, but no one was complaining when the Cubs were winning the far weaker National League Central. After Minnesota and Toronto, it appeared the White Sox were headed for the oblivion of [read more...]
Tough Being a Fan
It's pretty depressing to be a Chicago sports fan right now. You've got the White Sox incapable of scoring, the Cubs incapable of beating one of the worst teams in the National League, the Bears' starting running back involved in a huge Texas-sized mess, and the Bulls not wanting to shell out the big bucks for a quality coach. What kind [read more...]
White Sox Back to their Old Ways
After watching yet another White Sox loss, it seems like the team has reverted back to their 2007 form. The hitters aren't hitting. The fielders aren't catching the ball, and the bullpen looks as bad as ever. Ultimately, you can't blame the pitchers since their ERA is under four. What you can do is look at a group of hitters who [read more...]
Welcome to the Jungle
Welcome to "The Jerome Cusson Experience." Over the next few weeks and months, this blog is my forum to talk about the things in sports I'm interested in. I'm not going to spend all my time talking about New York and Boston because no one cares about that overrated city series. I'm not going to bitch about every athlete who [read more...]
