This disaster unfolded with one of the softest line drives imaginable, one off the bat of Ramon Santiago headed toward Matt Thornton. Thornton was expecting something more difficult, reacting too fast, and then adjusting too late as the ball rattled in and out of his mitt. With that small step, the Tigers were on their [...]
June 6: White Sox 8, Indians 7
When you step back, you still realize that the Sox lost a series to one of baseball’s worst teams at home. But up close, this game was a lot of fun. It didn’t look like it at the onset, as Mark Buehrle was awful. He left a ton of cutters over the heart of the [...]
June 5: Indians 3, White Sox 1
Jake Peavy introduced a new way to lose a game — balking in the decisive run. Peavy had fallen behind 1-0 on an RBI single by Austin Kearns, who advanced to second on the throw (a Juan Pierre assist at third base, oddly enough). Kearns would travel the other 180 feet on two mistakes by [...]
June 4: Indians 10, White Sox 1
Somebody had to give Justin Masterson his first win of the season. The White Sox were as good of a candidate as any. Masterson wasn’t even good. He allowed five hits and walked six over 5 2/3 innings, and he also hit two batters. But despite all those baserunners, the Sox only managed five at-bats [...]
June 3: White Sox 4, Rangers 3
Sometimes, the old formula works best. The Sox, who strike out less often than any other American League team, whiffed 11 times on the night. They also hit three homers. Combine it with seven strong innings from Freddy Garcia, and the Sox avoided an embarrassing sweep at the start of a month they theoretically should [...]
June 2: Rangers 9, White Sox 5
On Tuesday, almost everybody had some responsibility in the 9-6 loss to the Rangers. Tonight, the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Gavin Floyd. Floyd had nothing. The Rangers batted around in the first en route to battering him for six runs on eight hits over just 2 2/3 innings. He threw only 35 [...]
June 1: Rangers 9, White Sox 6
To call John Hirshbeck’s outside corner as “generous” would be an understatement. So when the White Sox offense gave Mark Buehrle an early 4-0 lead, you’d think he’d be set for a win, right? Fans, prepare to be murdered. Buehrle had flirted with danger early in the game, working out of a bases-loaded jam with [...]
