White Sox following Ventura's lead toward playoffs
This was the kind of September slide the South Side embraced rather than feared, one that brought the White Sox nearer the playoffs instead of farther away. This was right fielder Alex Rios, the team's most valuable player, proving it yet another way by...

Your Morning Phil: Liriano trade, Gregg, Dunn

Sox trade for Liriano shores up rotation

Wicked slider wasn't even in Humber's arsenal early last year
