Moms & Sox Fans
by Hal Vickery
Whatever you can say about your life as a Sox Fan, never forget who made you you... most of all your mom! WSI's Hal Vickery shares memories growing up a Sox Fan inside his mom's home. She never disowned him either!!!

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?

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

WSI's Totally Biased GAME RECAP

I stayed up until after midnight for this?

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.

Good Enough for Now!
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!

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!
