The Sox are Going to Miss Big Frank!
Trading slugger Frank Thomas was a mistake, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, sales, service & success coach, and best-selling author of 12 books and the audio program, The Law of Large Numbers: How To Make Success Inevitable, published by Nightingale-Conant. According to this popular keynote speaker and radio and TV commentator, the Oakland A's see the potential in the Big Hurt, especially to edge the Sox at crunch time.
Konerko's Chicago White Sox 2006
It's an ominous sign, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President of Customersatisfaction.com and noted speaker, author, consultant and coach, when, only three games into the 2006 campaign, newly appointed Team Captain Paul Konerko tries to distance this year's team from the World beating White Sox of 2005.
Sox Play Like Rooks, Not Champs
Having lost their fourth in a row, the Chicago White Sox look like laggards in their division instead of World Series Champs, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, noted sales, service, and success consultant. They had better get down to business and fast if they hope to contend this year, says this keynote speaker and author of the popular audio program, The Law of Large Numbers: How To Make Success Inevitable, published by Nightingale-Conant.
White Sox Choke
It's only the third game into the second half of the 2006 season and the Chicago White Sox are living what I prophesied oh, four or five weeks back. They're choking.
The Chicago White Sox are a Major League Baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox play in the American League's Central Division. Since 1991, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field, which was originally called New Comiskey Park and nicknamed The Cell by local fans. The White Sox are one of two major league clubs based in Chicago, the other being the Chicago Cubs of the National League. The White Sox last won the World Series in 2005 when they played the Houston Astros and swept them in four games.
One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Chicago team was established as a major league baseball club in 1901. The club was originally called the Chicago White Stockings, after the nickname abandoned by the Cubs, and the name was soon shortened to Chicago White Sox. At this time, the team played their home games at South Side Park. In 1910, the team moved into historic Comiskey Park, which they would inhabit for more than eight decades.
The Chicago White Sox are most prominently nicknamed "the South Siders", differentiating them from the North Side Chicago Cubs. Other nicknames include "the Pale Hose", "the ChiSox", a combination of "Chicago" and "Sox" (as opposed to the BoSox), "the Go-Go Sox", a reference to 1959 AL champions, who got that nickname; "the Good Guys", a reference to the team's one-time motto "Good guys wear black", coined by Ken "Hawk" Harrelson; and "the Black Sox," the name attributed to the scandal-tainted 1919 team. Most fans refer to the team as simply "the Sox". The Spanish language media sometimes refer to the team as Medias Blancas for "White Stockings."
