The Chicago Cubs are 35-36. The Chicago White Sox are 36-38. Both teams are flirting with the .500 mark as we get closer to the half-way mark of the season. Unless these teams are can go into after-drive and put the pedal to the metal, it is likely that these team will finish near the .500 mark. The Cubs had a thrilling homestand and won some games with pulsating finishes. Then they go on the road and make the Detroit Tigers look like world-beaters. In one game, the Cubs have a one run lead late, but their closer gives up a 2 run homer in the last of 9th to win the game for Detroit.

When the weather warms up, and the Sox play at home, the ball tends to leave the yard. And that my friends, is enough to cure the offensive woe's of these Chicago White Sox.

Well, the last 2 games in Texas were pretty ugly to the Sox. First there was the thumping that Jose Contreras took on Saturday night, and then the listless performance on Sunday night in front of a national audience.

3 was the magic number for the White Sox on Friday night.
The Sox had 3 new players to the starting lineup. Jim Thome and Chris Getz returned after sitting out a few games with injuries, and Scott Podsednik was recalled and started in the outfield.

Watching Mike MacDougal can be downright painful and very frustrating. Well, the frustated White Sox finally cut the righthander after designating him for assignment a week ago.

John Danks, had only given up 2 runs all season and had held Ichiro to 1 hit in 8 previous at-bats. This sounded like a good situation for the Sox and chance to sweep the Mariners in Tuesday's doubleheader.

Well, the White Sox got another quality start out of Bartolo Colon, in their 2-1, game 1 win on Tuesday.
Although Colon is no stranger to success in the major leagues, he was a reach for a reliable starter, and indeed was slotted as number 5 in the rotation. His start to the season has to have the club excited, and patting themselves on the back, for acquiring the veteran righthander.

In this chapter, one focused on the bullpens, things are a little on the hazy side. What I mean by that is, evaluating a bullpen isn't an exact science like evaluating an infield, where the positions are first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and catcher. With a bullpen there are long men, middle relievers, setup men, and closers, but those roles are utilized and defined differently by each major league club, with the sole exception being closer.

It’s Day Two of The Sports Don’s 2009 Baseball Preview, and I present perhaps the toughest division in baseball to predict. The American League Central could finish in any order, and I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised. And yes, that includes the upstart Kansas City Royals winning the division for the first time since 1985 when George Brett was 32, and the Royals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.

The Sox signed Octavio Dotel to a two year deal worth $11 million today. This helps to address the bullpen issues the Sox had all of last year. But it brings a guy with good stuff who has had injury problems in the past. He has also missed some significant playing time in recent years.

This off-season has been one of expectations and disappointment. The expected signings and trades have been numerous, but most of them have not panned out. It is a divided nation as to what the direction is this winter. But through all of that, some important things have happened.
