WE'VE MOVED!

we-have-moved.jpg

After a couple months of work, WGN has finally upgraded all of our blogs! Woo hoo!

Starting next season, you can visit Hawk and Steve's White Sox Baseball Blog here: http://weblogs.wgntv.com/hawk-and-steve-blog/chicago-white-sox-baseball/

You can also get to our blog from the wgntv.com website at www.wgntv.com/morningnews.

Q. But what about your old posts? I still want to view them.

A. Not to worry. If you can't get enough of our old posts, you can still view them here on the old blog. It won't go anywhere. But to get all our latest posts, you'll want to visit our new blogs.

Thanks for watching WGN and GO SOX!

One Fine Day

People talk about the Sox lack of offense, but I have faith they will come around. Everything in baseball is contagious, and that works both ways with hitting where when you're in a funk it can spread, but just as quickly, once somebody gets hot, it seems like more guys do. With starting pitching, a good performance turns into a "top you" type of mentality for the other starters.

We'll be fine. This is a good ballclub and this current slump will run its course.
