Who is coming to make this more watchable?
The White Sox have lost six games in a row, and have the sixth-worst run differential and baseball. We knew they would be bad this year...and they're bad! So, what's next? Rosters are expanding, there's still no left-hander on the roster and Dayan Viciedo made a somewhat justified start on Sunday. Let's see what we can do here.
Read MoreI like eating my own words. It's a fun exercise. No special interest group ever writes huffy emails about the severity with which I went in on my previous self, It's an excuse to make the post even more about myself, and since everyone on the baseball internet is the aggrieved representative of the cruddy player they were personally excited for, usually I only have to eat my words for happy reasons. Someone was vaguely more productive than I though they would be--I must commit hari-kiri.
Read MoreThat was a fun game. Full of offense, multiple comebacks, offensive virtuosity, doinked singles and odd hijinks looming large, a decent and loud crowd, and Moises Sierra. The combination of a Chris Sale off-night, the Sox bad bullpen and Twins pitching made for the kind of fun-bad scoring fest that the April of this season promised for the Sox. No one even noticed that Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo are still around.

Read MoreThe White Sox's offense against the Diamondbacks' pitching staff seemed, on paper, like a recipe for a series victory. But for the second straight day that offense flailed away to no avail, this time against a 26-year-old rookie making his Major League debut in Chase Anderson.
Anderson held the Sox to one run on two hits in 5.1 innings as Arizona beat the White Sox 5-1 to take 2-of-3 in the series.
Read MoreComing into Thursday night, the White Sox thought Scott Carroll could be a useful temporary contributor to the starting rotation, Moises Sierra was worth a look in right field, and Maikel Cleto could at least serve as the last man in the bullpen. After the 12-5 clobbering the Cubs laid down to end the Crosstown Series, it's hard to see all three concepts lasting the night. Adrian Nieto even came in late and mucked it up behind the plate for a bit for the sake of completion.
Read MoreJordan Danks has a low ceiling and has played well under it all year. His umpteenth trip back to Charlotte is not some measure of rotten luck or callous management. Yet it's a rough statement on his future with the team when they react to the possibility of offering him regular playing time by giving a shot to Moises Sierra.
Read MoreAfter a pair of subpar outings and general blah results through six starts this season, the White Sox hope John Danks can turn things around as they go for their fourth straight victory and a series win Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.
Read MoreAlong with their announcement of their 2013-heavy Saturday lineup, the White Sox pushed across a slate of roster moves that varied between sad, odd, necessary or all three combined. The centerpiece being centerfielder Adam Eaton going to the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury.
