The Sox are done, so Williams had better get started
It doesn’t do any good to fire Ozzie Guillen. It doesn’t do any good because he’s not to blame. The White Sox players are. Blame them. Trade them. This Sox season is o-vuh. Sox management shoved “All In,’’...Tags: Kenny Williams, Alex Rios, Colby Rasmus, Albert Pujols, Gordon Beckham

Sox manager remains in character — unflappable
ARLINGTON, Texas — It wasn't worse than a noogie from Nolan Ryan, but losing his first game as White Sox manager to Ryan's Rangers hurt Robin Ventura. Not that Ventura showed it. There are Mandarin dictionaries easier to read than Ventura. "I...

Steal spotlight: Youkilis deal a no-brainer
No-brainer. That's one way to describe the White Sox's trade for Kevin Youkilis. Potential difference-maker. That's another way. By filling their biggest hole with one of the most respected third basemen in baseball, the White Sox may have just...

Your Morning Phil: Hahn, Peavy, Wood
Talking baseball while praising Kirk Hinrich’s grit: 1. There are lots of good deals on Chicago condos. A forward-thinking baseball organization might buy, not merely rent hotel space, this summer. Scouts will be camping out on both sides of...

Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
1. Rangers (3): No question that this is the deepest pitching staff — starters and bullpen — in the American League. Ron Washington and Mike Maddux are turning Koji Uehara into another weapon for the middle innings. 2. Nationals (1): Dropped...

Rogers' MLB power rankings: Rangers hold onto No. 1
Statistics through Sunday (last week's rank) 1. Rangers (1): Matt Harrison's new and improved sinker hasn't been sinking. Otherwise there's not much to be concerned about even though they've lost three consecutive series. This will be an interesting week...

Rosenbloom: Here's the deal: Williams needs to make a trade

Sale's All-Star experience? Take a seat, kid

Sox need Peavy to pull a Sale
