Chicago White Sox Baseball Ticket info

It doesn't get better than winning the World Series as anyone buying Chicago White Sox tickets can tell you. Since Manager Ozzie Guillen has taken over the team, a new era has begun at U.S. Cellular field. Guillen, who played for the team for sixteen years between 1985 and 1997, has created an upbeat, winning atmosphere that has led the White Sox to a World Series Championship. After winning a league leading 99 games last year, the regular season came down to an exciting final week, but the White Sox only seemed to grow stronger as the season drew to a close. With 8 days left before the regular season ended, the White Sox led the division rival Cleveland Indians by only one game and with 93 wins had not even guaranteed a wild card spot. While the Indians flopped, the White Sox won 6 of those last 8 games, winning them the division. From there they where unstoppable as they went on to beat the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the Houston Astros, losing only one game in the process, to become the World Series Champions. While last year's accomplishments exceeded expectations, there is no reason to believe that they can not be repeated. Chicago not only has most of its team returning, but the few changes that were made were probably improvements. Many thought first baseman Paul Konerko would leave via free agency, but the White Sox resigned him to a multi-year contract which will keep him in the same infield with Tadahito Taguchi, Juan Uribe, and Joe Crede. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski also signed a lofty contract and will be staying with the team. Jermaine Dye and Scott Podsednik will return to the corner outfield positions, but Aaron Roland was traded to Philadelphia for slugging DH Jim Thome who will replace Frank Thomas and Carl Everett. Replacing Roland in the outfield will be young standout Brian Anderson. With the exception of Orlando Hernandez being traded for Javier Vasquez, the pitching rotation remains the same with Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia, Jose Contreras, Jon Garland, and Brandon McCarthy ready to step in if needed. While there is some inexperience in the bullpen, Ozzie Guillen has shown he can survive without a designated closer and make use of pitching match-ups. With most of the team returning, the WhiteSox are certainly looking forward to this season. White Sox tickets will be in high demand as Chicago will try and repeat their World Championship performance.
