If you missed the first two parts:
May 2 – Chris Widger picks a bad time to dramtically re-enact the Stations of the Cross.
May 3 – In Guardado’s previous save situation against the Sox,
Brian Anderson victimized him to tie the game. This time, Pablo Ozuna hits a game-tying homer that happens to also be his first in 334 big-league at-bats. Suddenly, “Everyday Eddie” has a new and less welcome meaning.
May 4 – Joe Crede makes a sliding catch into the tarp, gets his spikes tangled in the remains of
Vince Coleman.
May 8 – Jose Contreras heads towards the DL for a bout with sciatica, which is an upgrade over earlier reports that he was paralyzed from the waist down and couldn’t eat solid foods.
May 9 – Scott Podsednik makes perfect, leaping, home-run robbing catch. No, seriously.
May 10 – Unlike the
Proctological Corps, Charlie Haeger knuckles under to the Anaheim Angels.
May 11 – Aaron Rowand runs face-first into a fence, and Frank Thomas pulls quad muscle. It’s like they never left.
May 12 – After a
brief sabbatical, Johan Santana resumes kicking the Sox’s asses.
May 14 – Mark Buehrle gives up seven runs in the first inning against the Twins but manages to win the game, becoming the first pitcher in 100 years to accomplish that feat and giving him an idea...
May 16 – After failing to make a throw to first on a sacrifice bunt, cover first base on a grounder to the right side, and giving up five runs in under two innings, Boone Logan seals his demotion – to coach-pitch league.
May 20 – Michael Barrett
punches A.J. Pierzynski in the face, prompting millions of jackasses to laugh in self-satisfaction as they make the incredibly unique joke that the Sox catcher “deserves to be punched out of principle.”
May 21 – Neal Cotts gives up homer to Jacque Jones, who entered the game hitting 1-for-19 against lefties. More to come.
May 22 – Frank Thomas returns to the South Side in a different uniform for the first time, hits two massive homers, yet is overshadowed by a walk-off bunt.
May 23 – Jeff Nelson makes his debut with the White Sox, ensuring that he retires as a member of the Pale Hose and bringing his career full-circle.
May 26 – Ozzie Guillen, filling in as third-base coach as Joey Cora serves his suspension, informs Juan Uribe of a 2-0 count.
May 29 – After struggling with the Indians in the first two series, the Sox finally get it in gear against the future fourth-place finishers with an 11-0 drubbing over Cliff Lee and Cleveland.
May 31 – The Sox drop the next two to the Tribe, scoring three runs combined.
