Your Morning Phil: Cubs, Appel, WBC
Talking baseball while the Blackhawks keep rolling: 1. Rumors will continue but here’s the reality about both Carlos Marmol and Alfonso Soriano: As with Matt Garza, the best time to trade them will be in the middle of the season, not now. Marmol...

Sale's All-Star experience? Take a seat, kid
Chris Sale was named to the All-Star team. Deserved. Sale has been talked about as the American League starter. Deserved. Sale should not pick up so much as the rosin bag a week from today in Kansas City. Preserved. Sale is important. The All-...

Everything's Jake with the Sox
During spring training, Jake Peavy said he wouldn’t try to become a pitcher who relies on guile after surgery robbed him of the power he used to have. Peavy lied, and good for him. He has become as smart as he is good. When he lost the plate in...

Sox need Peavy to pull a Sale
Don’t look now, but first place could become second place for the White Sox by Thursday night. They have lost the first two games of their home series to the vexing, dastardly Blue Jays, who seem to beat the Sox as regularly as the Indians seem...

No good reason to pull Quintana
There was no reason to mess with success. But Robin Ventura did. There was no reason to changes pitchers. But Robin Ventura did. There was no reason to lift rookie Jose Quintana after he threw a shockingly efficient 77 pitches in eight shutout...

Not the end of the world, but Sox fatalists can see it from here
If you are a White Sox fatalist -- one of the 30,000 or so who were smart enough not to fill the Cell for Tuesday night’s joke against Minnesota -- then you have good reason to warm up the car and close the garage door on this season. Yeah, the Sox...

Good time for Cubs to leave and Rizzo to arrive
The Cubs will leave town and then figure to call up Anthony Rizzo, and that’s the right order. The headache-inducing rules regarding free agency forced the Cubs to wait until a certain number of days had expired during the season. Don’t ask....

Williams buys a Kevin Youkilis lottery ticket
Ken Williams was smiling Sunday afternoon. The White Sox general manager seemed revved up, if not totally revived, by the Kevin Youkilis trade.
Maybe it was just the idea of making a deal after spending weeks crying poor attendance. Deals, after all, are...Tags: Zach Stewart, Chicago White Sox, Brent Lillibridge, Boston Red Sox, Lotteries

Peavy: lots of talk, little sense
Jake Peavy said he doesn’t know if he’s “100 percent (compared) to what I was four years ago,’’ but he’s still collecting 100 percent of that trade-choking salary, you betcha.
Peavy said he wants to pitch 200 innings,...Tags: Chicago White Sox, Robin Ventura, Jose Contreras, Chris Sale, Jamie Moyer

Isn't it time someone important became alarmed over Cubs' arm injuries?
It wasn’t that Carlos Marmol threw a wild pitch to lose Monday’s game inWashington. It wasn’t that Marmol had no idea there was a runner on base and did nothing to stop Jayson Werth from stealing third to set up the aggravating ending....Tags: Randy Wells, Baseball Injuries, Gavin Floyd, Crimes, World Series

Rios continues to embarrass Guillen and Williams -- and himself
You can get mad at White Sox general manager Ken Williams for not making a trade Sunday to improve a team that claims to be in a race but plays like it’s lying about that.
Look, no deal is going to matter if the general manager is going to bring in...Tags: Chicago White Sox, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Quentin, Dustin Pedroia, Jarrod Saltalamacchia

Taking batting practice before Cubs-Sox
Some early BP before this week’s oil spill of a City Series:
Who goes crazier tonight, Cubs runners on Gavin Floyd or the flash mob in Carlos Zambrano’s head? Web poll!
Or maybe the question should be: Who do the Cubs run on more, Gavin...Tags: Entertainment, Lou Piniella, Cook County Government, Gavin Floyd, BP Plc
