June 05

CSN Chicago "Losing is a topic Jake Peavy hates to discuss. A scowl comes over the White Sox pitcher’s face as he diagrams his internalization of a loss. His speech slows, the volume of his voice drops down low and Peavy hesitantly makes a checklist of ways he now accepts losses. If he gets beat “the..." March 19

Peavy made his first start on Sunday and got hit..." March 04

Chicago Tribune "After his first start of the spring, Jake Peavy stood at his locker Sunday and answered questions for six minutes.

South Side Sox "When the White Sox signed up for two more years of Jake Peavy's pitching, they also received two more years of Peavy speaking from the gut.

October 03

Under first-year manager Robin Ventura and his new-look..." August 10

CSN Chicago "Tyler Flowers had already scanned Jake Peavy's vitals before Robin Ventura reached the mound in the eighth inning Wednesday and knew he was good to go.

More often than not, their teams are benefiting from those players' return to their standards of excellence. The AL..." July 19

Chicago Tribune "Chris Sale might wear down in August and September. Jake Peavy might not survive for 32 starts and 220-plus innings, which is his current pace.
