		<description><![CDATA[If you weren&#8217;t convinced that Jim Leyland thought this game was a must-win, you had to be sold when he pulled his starter after 1 1/3 innings&#8230; when he allowed just one run. Alfredo Figaro found himself in a jam in the second. The inning started with a titanic Carlos Quentin shot, and grew worse [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. And he got all the runs he needed when Scott Podsednik led off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Buehrle suffered through a difficult second half, but he ended his season on a fine note. Buehrle threw six efficient shutout innings, needing only 79 pitches for his 13th victory of the season. He didn&#8217;t allow a baserunner before he recorded two outs in an inning, and he didn&#8217;t walk a batter. He frontloaded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the lackluster lineups to the lack of an upper deck, this game had all the makings of a Triple-A affair. John Danks dominated accordingly, throwing his first major-league complete game while posting the best game score of his career.  The previous high: You guessed it, Game 163. His least-favorite inning was the only thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Briefly: *Jake Peavy survived a flurry of weak singles to throw seven scoreless innings, getting two double-play balls. He was late covering on a 3-6-1 double play, but made up for it by turning a 1-6-3 later on. *Jermaine Dye made a great play on one of the only hard-hit balls of the night, crashing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Jermaine Dye ever had an occasion to break out of his slump with style, it was with the bases loaded against Joakim Soria in the eighth inning. Soria loaded the bases with a walk to Alexei Ramirez, bringing Dye and his 4-for-35 slump to the plate. It ended with a medium-range flyout to right. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bobby Jenks had never given up two homers in an outing before, so, for the second consecutive game, now you&#8217;ve seen something you&#8217;ve never seen before. Of course, this wasn&#8217;t the &#8220;hey, neat,&#8221; kind of novelty. It was another punch in the nuts in a season chock full of them. Jenks squatted over a great [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tim Wakefield wasn&#8217;t as sharp, and the White Sox hitters wisened up.  As a result, the Good Guys jumped on the knuckleball early, giving a halfway-perfect Gavin Floyd a nice early cushion en route to their four consecutive victory. Scott Podsednik provided a positive omen when he led off with a single up through the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sox fans often tell themselves in tough times, &#8220;At least we&#8217;re not the Cubs.&#8221; After today&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jose Contreras&#8217; day began with a nine-pitch at-bat against David DeJesus; an ominous beginning for a guy who has battled inefficiency issues for the past couple of months. That was one fewer pitch than Contreras needed to finish the entire seventh. First impressions can be misleading. Contreras threw a quality start for only the second [...]]]></description>
