- Hurricane Earl forces postponement of White Sox-Red Sox game Chicago Sun-Times Due to severe weather on the East Coast from Hurricane Earl, tonight's series opener between the White Sox and Red Sox in Boston has been postponed.
- Manny shifts gears one more time Chicago White Sox Blog | ESPN Chicago BOSTON – Manny Ramirez met with the Boston media for the second time this season and this time he was more contrite. Now Ramirez is saying his shuffle out of Boston in 2008 was all his fault. That’s right, in a single week, Ramirez has gone from wearing sunglasses during press conferences and speaking Spanish, to admitting that he has made some mistakes ... in English, by the way. “I think everything was my fault but hey, you have to be a man and realize that when you do wrong,” Ramirez said Friday, not long after the game was postponed and rescheduled for Saturday a...

When Ramirez met the media Friday at Fenway Park, the most famous dreadlocks in baseball were still resting on his back. But his barber was standing at his side. It’s anybody’s guess what Ramirez’s appearance will be Saturday, and whether or not he will start abiding by chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s appearance standards that require a well-shorn look.

- Thornton reinstated; Morel called up Chicago White Sox Blog | ESPN Chicago BOSTON – Friday’s rain out will give left-hander Matt Thornton one more day to rest his injured elbow. Thornton was one of three roster moves the White Sox made Friday. He was taken off the 15-day disabled list where he had spent the last two weeks-plus recovering from left elbow inflammation. While gone, Chris Sale gained some major experience as a late-inning left-hander, even getting a ninth-inning save Wednesday at Cleveland. Thornton’s return now gives the bullpen two late-inning left-handers. With J.J. Putz on schedule to return next week from a sore knee, the bullpe...
