Jake Peavy was good.  The Tigers were really, really bad. Peavy threw eight incredibly easy innings, allowing just two hits and two runs while striking out five as he recorded his third win in as many starts in a White Sox uniform.

They finished the game in the 10th, clinging to a one-run lead with Tony Pena, of all people, [...]

Sox fans often tell themselves in tough times, “At least we’re not the Cubs.” After today’s victory, Sox players might be telling themselves the same thing.  They found one team that could make costlier mistakes than they do. And the Sox started this one out as sloppy as it gets. Scott Podsednik led off with [...]
