Thanks to shinons for the recap. After a Carlos Quentin triple then score on a collision at the plate, the next time he took the plate he was met with a John Lackey fastball square in the back. Coincidentally, Quentin came into the game with a 2.156 OPS against Lackey. Righty-killer Big Papi Ortiz led [...]
August 26: White Sox 8, Orioles 0
Man, Edwin Jackson should throw more than seven pitches. Pitching for the first time since the monsoon in Kansas City, Jackson dominated the Orioles for eight innings, giving the Sox their first series win in six sets. Jackson struck out 10 hitters, cracking double-digits in back-to-back starts for the first time in his career. And [...]
August 24: White Sox 7, Orioles 5
For those of you who hate bunting, tonight’s victory had to be sweet. The Sox and Orioles were tied at 2 in the seventh when A.J. Pierzynski reached with a leadoff single. Ozzie Guillen called for Alexei Ramirez to bunt. He fouled off two of them, and then went down swinging on a Jeremy Guthrie [...]
July 25: A’s 6, White Sox 4
Daniel Hudson stopped a losing streak from starting in his previous outing. Today, he was the chief reason why the Sox lost their second straight. Hudson’s start looked an awful lot like his one against the Royals, except the offense was once again rather sleepy. The score shouldn’t have been this close. He didn’t have [...]
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 19: White Sox 1, Nationals 0
Jake Peavy was originally start Thursday in the finale against the Pirates, but a fluid build-up in the shoulder pushed him back to Saturday. It was well worth the wait, as Peavy threw his first shutout in a White Sox uniform with no margin for error (the score was a product of Ozzie Guillen sitting [...]
June 16: White Sox 7, Pirates 2
If this series doesn’t make you feel better about being a Sox fan, nothing will. The arrival of Pedro Alvarez was supposed to provide energy at the park. At the end of the night, he committed one of four ninth-inning Pittsburgh errors. And all four were forced by Juan Pierre. With the Sox up 5-2 [...]
May 26: White Sox 5, Indians 4
It seems that Joe West had something in mind for Mark Buehrle, unbeknownst to the White Sox. With two outs in the second, West called a balk on Mark Buehrle after he picked off Matt LaPorta, and then made a show of dismissing Buehrle when asked for a clarification. That made Ozzie Guillen charge out [...]
May 11: White Sox 5, Twins 2
Kevin Slowey needed only 39 pitches to get through the first four innings. Alex Rios shook things up by leading off the fifth by singling, stealing second, and taking third after Orlando Hudson failed to catch Joe Mauer’s throw. Still, it looked like more of the same when Carlos Quentin and Gordon Beckham struck out [...]
May 9: Blue Jays 9, White Sox 7
This should be the last game Bobby Jenks closes for a little while. Jenks entered tonight’s game with the bases empty and a two-run lead. He left with a one-run deficit after failing to retire any of the four batters he faced. A double, a bloop single, a three-run homer to Fred Lewis and a [...]
