  • Dunn says back feeling better returns to lineup

    Email ANAHEIM -- Adam Dunn doesn't want to be "Tommy Tough Guy" as he stated prior to Sunday's series finale with the Angels. He's been there before with the White Sox, where he came back early after having his appendix removed in 2011 and fought through a right oblique strain to try to help the White Sox at the end of last season. The goal was admirable but the results ...

  • Jones dealing with flip side of W-L record this season

    Email ANAHEIM -- Nate Jones' 8-0 mark out of the bullpen in 2012 was the best record in White Sox franchise history posted by a first-year pitcher, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. With an 0-4 ledger after picking up the loss in Saturday's 12-9 setback, Jones is experiencing the darker side of the results. Those losing ways haven't changed Jones' positive attitude. ...

  • Beckham Danks inching closer to Major League return

    Email ANAHEIM -- After finishing 2-for-4 as the designated hitter for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday night, Gordon Beckham knocked out three hits during his second Minor League rehab start for Charlotte on Sunday. Beckham scored one and drove in two while playing second base, as he moves closer to a White Sox return from a fractured hamate bone in his left hand that has had him out of action ...

  • Ventura sees Konerko rounding into form

    Email ANAHEIM -- When White Sox manager Robin Ventura watched Paul Konerko struggle through the early part of this season, he never once thought age suddenly had caught up with the talented and accomplished 37-year-old. "There's not an alarm that goes off from just watching him swing," Ventura said. "Part of it comes from there is a certain, I don't even know if ...

The Wild

Not since the dueling destructive asteroid movies of 98 has there been such sharply etched proof of Hollywoods frequent creative bankruptcy. It was barely a year ago that I sat in a theater watching DreamWorkss Madagascar, a fitfully amusing computer-animated comedy about a group of animals ... ...

  • Cubs helped hurt by homers in loss to Mets

    NYM@CHC: Wood's blast breaks scoreless tie in fifth CHICAGO -- Travis Wood turned in another quality outing on Sunday at Wrigley Field, but the long ball came back to bite both him and the bullpen in a 4-3 loss to the Mets. With a two-run lead in the seventh inning, Wood allowed a game-tying two-run homer to Juan Lagares -- the first of his career -- before right-handed reliever Kyuji ...

  • What the Lakers should do....NOW MAY 14

    Listen! Right now the Lakers are stuck. They made such a big investment to bring Dwight Howard and Steve Nash that they have no choice but to see it through until the end. Both Pau Gasol and MWP are virtually untradeable and we we all know that Kobe is off the market. That guy is going to retire a Laker for sure. Other than that, they have virtually nothing to bargain with. Their bench sucks and ...

  • Rizzo reaping rewards of getting back to roots

    Email CHICAGO -- First baseman Anthony Rizzo entered Sunday's series finale against the Mets having not struck out in his last 39 at-bats. "Shhh!" said manager Dale Sveum when this was mentioned following Saturday's win, and he may have been right to be concerned, as Rizzo was struck out by Dillon Gee in his very first at-bat. It's not quite jinxing a no-hitter or a ...
