We end our fifth of six preview weeks today by focusing on the AL champion Detroit Tigers. Detroit seemingly sleepwalked through the first five months of the 2012 seson before turning up the jets in September and winning the AL Central and going on a tear through the playoffs until running into the Giants freight […]

It took seven years, but we finally got a matchup between the Dominican Republic and the United States of America in the World Baseball Classic. It was worth the wait. With a spot in the final round on the line, the Dominicans rallied in the top of the ninth in front of a frenzied crowd […]

The White Sox have several key players on their 2013 team, from stud starting pitchers Chris Sale and Jake Peavy, to dominant power hitters Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko, to new starters Jeff Keppinger and Tyler Flowers. There are a few players that I can think of that would be under the radar key players […]

Continuing from our season preview of the White Sox earlier today… Can the White Sox carry their success from last season over into 2013? There are quite a few questions for this White Sox team heading into the new season, but they all funnel into this one gigantic question. Was last year a fluke? Or […]

The World Baseball Classic is down to five teams after Puerto Rico rallied to beat Italy 4-3 on Wednesday night, and send the Italians packing after an improbable run through Pool D. Puerto Rico will play the loser of Thursday's Dominican Republic-United States matchup, with the winners of those games both advancing to the semifinals […]

Though they didn't make it through to the postseason, the Chicago White Sox put together a much better season in 2012 than many were expecting. A small collapse in the final month of the season allowed the future American League Champion Detroit Tigers to grab the Central Division title. As disappointing as it was for […]

Happy Pi Day, everyone! What the hell is pi day? Well, it's a slightly nerdy celebration about the value of the mathematical constant pi, which has a value of 3.14 (along with a neverending series of numbers after the 4). Anyway, I thought it would be cute to look at the number 3.14 (and it's […]

Welcome one and welcome all to White Sox day here on The Outside Corner! Chicago finished a somewhat surprising second in the AL Central last season behind rookie manager Robin Ventura and a veteran club that exceeded all expectations. The White Sox came close to standing pat this winter, and will look to replicate last […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RE1ADwbo5Ls The Harlem Shake craze will never…ever…die, and the Cleveland Indians are the latest pro sports team to jump on that train. Their Harlem Shake starts with new manager Terry Francona giving the team a pep talk of sorts before starting into the dance. Then, once the chaos begins, chaos truly begins, with Francona dressed […]

Much was made of Kansas City's efforts to overhaul their rotation over the winter. They laid out a lot of money and prospects to bring in the likes of James Shields and Ervin Santana, so problem solved right? Well, maybe and maybe just that problem. The Royals have designs on making a run at the […]

Continuing from this morning's preview of the Kansas City Royals… Are the Royals' upgrades in the rotation enough for them to compete with the Tigers and White Sox at the top of the AL Central? This is probably the most important question regarding the Royals going into 2013. The team completely retooled their rotation this […]
