Interview: Matt Liston
Cubs fan and filmmaker Matt Liston chronicled the 2003 season, as he went on a crusade to bring Wrigleyville a pennant.
Pujols offers to help Buehrle move
One of the first phone calls Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle received after his no-hitter and following trade to the Cardinals was from his new teammate, first baseman Albert Pujols, who offered to help the pitcher move to his new home.
Kenny Williams trades Buehrle 5 minutes after no-hitter
While White Sox nation rejoiced its first no-hitter in 16 years, the pitcher who tossed it was packing his bags. Mark Buehrle barely had time for congratulatory hugs from his teammates before he was summoned to general manager Kenny Williams' office. It was there Buehrle found out he had been dealt to the St. Louis Cardinals for two low-level minor league prospects.
Guillen furious Buehrle walked Sosa during no-hitter
Sox manager Ozzie Guillen spent most of Wednesday clarifying statements he made the previous night about Sammy Sosa, stating he didn't want to hit the slugger, but instead force Sosa to "have to hit" when at bat. These statements were ignored when Mark Buehrle walked Sosa in the fifth inning, infuriating the manager despite Buehrle's no-hitter, the first for the Sox in 15 years.
Bears fine Vasher for wearing White Sox hat
Finding yet another way to swindle cash back into the stingy franchise, Bears CEO Ted Phillips slapped Nathan Vasher with a $100,000 fine after he saw the cornerback working out at Halas Hall in a Chicago White Sox cap. Phillips got the idea after he heard of the NFL's fine to Brian Urlacher for wearing a "Vitamin Water" hat during a media session during Super Bowl week. Urlacher's a partner in the company, which is a direct competitor of Gatorade, a $75 million NFL sponsor.
Sox laid low by Rangers
A scoreless first few innings to start, a random solo home run in the middle and a bullpen collapse at the end. Tuesday night's game had just about all the markings of a typical White Sox loss, with one exception: Sammy Sosa.
Sosa, Guillen feud heating up
Texas Rangers outfielder Sammy Sosa, who was booed loudly by the US Cellular Field Tuesday night, answered back with a three-run homer in the eighth inning. Sosa's ever-present hop, stutter-step before each base, and kisses to the camera in the dugout followed, and were not ignored by Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.
