Because Carlos Quentin strained his hamstring, Andruw Jones had back spasms and lefty Andy Pettitte was starting for the Yankees, Jayson Nix was pressed into right field duty for only the fourth time in his major-league career. Sure enough, when the game was on the line, the ball found him. With the game tied at [...]
April 29: White Sox 7, Rangers 5
Whether he’s starting one of history’s great contract drives or merely playing the part of “captain” to the best of his abilities, Paul Konerko continues to rake, and his bat made the difference today. Konerko cashed in a runner from third, then hit his ninth and 10th homers of the season, part of a four-RBI [...]
April 28: Rangers 6, White Sox 5
The theme of today’s game is “delayed reaction.” By the time Jake Peavy settled down, he was already trailing 5-0, and by the time the offense started stringing hits together, it ran out of outs. Peavy allowed five runs in the first inning during a 41-pitch disaster, walking three consecutive batters with two outs and [...]
April 27: Rangers 4, White Sox 2
The unfavorable comparisons to Scott Podsednik continue for Juan Pierre. Earlier in the game, Pierre made a nice catch in front of the wall on a deep fly by Chris Gentry, but just when you think he might be fine in front of the fence, a deep drive by Matt Treanor makes you think again. [...]
April 25: White Sox 3, Mariners 2
“The pitching staff is going to keep us in the game and when we have a shot we’re going to take it,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “But can you please win before the ninth? That would be nice.” – Ozzie Guillen How does the eighth inning sound? After two games won via the walk-off homer, [...]
April 24: White Sox 5, Mariners 4
This game would have been plenty more complicated to discuss if it weren’t for Alex Rios. Rios’ two-run homer off failed White Sox reliever David Aardsma gave the Sox their second straight walk-off victory en route to their first series victory of the season. Like Andruw Jones saved J.J. Putz, Rios also gave some people [...]
April 23: White Sox 7, Mariners 6
Thank you Andrew [sic] Jones for saving my ass. – J.J. Putz Forget about the game. How different might this season have been if it weren’t for Andruw Jones. Celebrating his birthday, Jones bookended the game with homers, and the second couldn’t have been more sorely needed. Not only was it a walk-off off Mark [...]
April 22: Rays 10, White Sox 2
For the third time this season, Jake Peavy was given a two-run lead. For the third time this season, Peavy blew it. Maybe the Sox should have scored more off an erratic James Shields in the first inning, when he threw 34 pitches and loaded the bases with one out. The Sox needed Jason Bartlett [...]
April 21: Rays 12, White Sox 0
Here’s a little bit of silver lining for Mark Buehrle: Had he done what he did the last time he faced the Rays, either this game would still be going on, or he’d be the next Harvey Haddix. Perfect wouldn’t have been good enough to beat the Rays with this team effort. It goes without [...]
April 20: White Sox 4, Rays 1
After his last outing — one run on two hits over seven against Toronto — John Danks was hard-pressed to come up with a sufficient encore. How does one run on two hits over eight innings sound? Because that’s what he did against a far superior offense that happened to be riding a seven-game road [...]
