Before tonight, Zack Greinke had never allowed six runs in a ballgame and come away with a win. He was 0-19 with one no-decision, and the Royals lost that one, too. There’s a first time for everything, and it was due in large part to Ozzie Guillen throwing in the towel. Down 3-1 in the [...]
June 29: White Sox 4, Royals 3
The Royals conjured up all their vengeance power, with three former Sox getting the job done. But Gavin Floyd, Matt Thornton and J.J. Putz made four quick runs stand up as they ended a two-game losing streak. Gavin Floyd looked dominant early (he retired nine of 10 at one point) and was backed by some [...]
June 28: Royals 3, White Sox 1
Evidently, the only kind of charity the White Sox accept is National League charity. After two weeks of playing sturdy baseball while the lesser team crumbled, the Sox couldn’t take advantage of any of your typical Kansas City mistakes. Yuniesky Betancourt had a field day by himself. Let’s run down the list of his boners. [...]
June 27: Cubs 8, White Sox 6
The winning streak had to end at some point, but at least the White Sox didn’t let it go without a fight. A bad day by John Danks put the White Sox winning streak in jeopardy, and Ozzie Guillen used a sizable deficit to get his lesser relievers some work, expanding the hole to 8-3. [...]
June 26: White Sox 3, Cubs 2
We’ve seen this game before. You know, the one where the Sox starter tosses a great game, but the offense isn’t able to get him the win he deserves, and as soon as he’s out of the game and J.J. Putz is pitching, Paul Konerko delivers a thunderous, lead-providing homer in the eighth inning that [...]
June 25: White Sox 6, Cubs 0
The drama in this one was over by the second inning, and more of it may have happened in a dugout than on the field. The White Sox extended their winning streak to 10 games with yet another shutout behind some Jake Peavy pitching, and the offense did enough damage to potentially end Carlos Zambrano’s [...]
June 24: White Sox 2, Braves 0
For the third straight start, Gavin Floyd pitched a nearly perfect game. For the third straight time, Floyd not receive the win. But hey — for the second straight time, at least the Sox came away with the win, and it came courtesy of a late Paul Konerko homer. The White Sox extended their winning [...]
June 23: White Sox 4, Braves 2
Thanks to K8T for the bullet points: Carlos Quentin had a 2-home run night. The first came in the bottom of the fourth, scoring two runs and the second came in the bottom of the seventh (solo). Quentin was 2-3 with three RBIs, and all the damage came off Atlanta starter Tim Hudson. Mark Buehrle [...]
June 22: White Sox 9, Braves 6
Maybe after surviving Stephen Strasburg’s best punch, Tommy Hanson looked like just another pitcher. The Sox singled one of the National League’s top young right-handed pitchers to death, sending him to the showers after just 3 2/3 innings by tagging him with nine runs on 11 hits. Most were singles, and most came after John [...]
June 20: White Sox 6, Nationals 3
Freddy Garcia wasn’t as sharp as Gavin Floyd or Jake Peavy, but as has so often been the case this season, he was good enough. The Sox offense showed up for the first time all series, with a 15-hit attack that propelled Garcia to his eighth win of the season and the team’s sixth in [...]
