"He told me it was the 499th ball he caught at the ballpark over the years.  I asked him if ever works."  -Sox slugger Bill Melton describing his conversation with the fan who returned the ball Bill hit for his 33rd homerun, capturing the 1971 A.L. homerun crown

2002 Season Disaster!

 2000 Champions!

A Glorious Season

Here is the ultimate Sox Fans' guide to the entire 2000 season with the totally biased slant only WSI  provides!
 

Park Life at Comiskey

Fan Images, 1977
A window to another age in Chicago baseball history.  An exclusive to White Sox Interactive from photographer Peter Elliott.

   
Few Runs, No Wins! 
 by Hal Vickery
 Timely hitting has been absent, the runs aren't there and neither have the Sox victories!  The slumping Sox are having troubles at the plate and as WSI's Hal Vickery notes, it is the vaunted middle of the order that is most culpable.  Can Carlos Quentin bat clean up?  How long before Ozzie tries it?
More!
Good Enough for Now! 
 by Hal Vickery
 The division is wide-open and our Sox are in first-place!  WSI's Hal Vickery isn't happy with everything he has seen this month, but he's seen plenty to make him happy so far.  Chicago's proud of you!
More!
 

WSI exclusive interview!
Brooks Boyer Speaks!
Brooks Boyer is the Sox vice-president and chief marketing officer.  He gets much of the credit for finally connecting in a big way the Sox marketing effort with the passionate (if not obstinate) legions of winning-obsessed fans that take their Sox baseball seriously.  Now he speaks directly to WSI's totally biased Sox Fans about a range of topics important to us in this EXCLUSIVE interview.  As if by fate, WSI's Mark Liptak gets insights into Brooks' state of mind about the state of the Sox radio booth just BEFORE the announcement of Steve Stone's move into the booth earlier this spring.  Enquiring Sox Fans want to read all about it!

  Steve Stone interview... and many more
EXCLUSIVELY for totally biased Sox Fans!

 WSI's Totally Biased GAME RECAP
May 8... Showing Some Swagger
Decent hitting and fundamentally sound baserunning? Toss in a couple of long balls for good measure? Good start by John Danks? Excellent outing by star arms in the bullpen? It all came together today, baby!
May 7... Sox go to school...again
More slow stuff baffles Sox hitters.
May 6...Floyd Flirts With History
Gavin Floyd was two outs away from throwing a no-hitter, while our Sox' bats finally came alive in a total demolition of the Minnesota Twinkies.
May 5...I wish I was dead
Or maybe I wish the Sox weren't as dead.
May 4th...This One Really Hurt
Sox lost a game 4-3 that they probably should have won 3-1. More on this later.

 Totally Biased WSI Features!
Bang for Your Buck?
Baseball has become a very big business, both in Chicago and every spring in Arizona, too. WSI's Pascal Marco notes how Sox Fans cope and can't help but notice what separates Chicago's winning fans from the other variety.
Pitching Surprises!
The Sox show early promise, especially in the late innings! WSI's Hal Vickery returns and shares what many of his fellow Sox Fans are feeling, too. Who figured the pitching staff to surprise like this!
Where Credit is Due: '08 Sox
Mediocrity is served up in over-sized portions to Chicago sports fans, but one team's fan base perseveres like none other in what is too generously called America's Second City. Sox Fans go forward in 2008, stronger for the experience of where they've been and confident about the future, too... like any other champion. A call to arms from WSI's George Bova!
Sox Radio Redux
Was somebody listening when WSI's Hal Vickery complained about the quality of the first Sox radiocast of the 2008 season? We do more than our share of complaining at WSI but always for a good cause -- and what Sox Fan can argue that the upgrade of adding Steve Stone to the radio booth is a significant one? WSI's Hal Vickery is pleased with the change!
Thriller in Glendale?
In Tucson the Sox are back in town getting ready for opening day, but outside Phoenix the City of Glendale is getting ready to welcome the newest Chicago transplants! Glendale is thrilled to host the Sox and WSI's Pascal Marco has a local's perspective for freezing Sox Fans to warm themselves dreaming about!
