Tonight might have been Freddy Garcia’s final start in a White Sox uniform, so it was kind of his teammates to bring him the support he was lacking in the second half. Carlos Quentin brought the defense right away with a brilliant diving catch in right-center for the first out of the game. The offense [...]
August 19: White Sox 11, Twins 0
The Sox greeted Carl Pavano with two base hits. They’d have 19 more before the night was over. Led by Paul Konerko’s 5-for-5 night, the Sox shrugged off a couple of crushing one-run victories by crushing Pavano. The last time Pavano faced the Sox, he outdueled Mark Buehrle in a pair of complete games. Buehrle [...]
August 6: Orioles 2, White Sox 1 (10 innings)
*Tony Pena, for some reason, was expected to throw three scoreless innings. He could only complete 2 2/3 of them, giving up a game-winning single to Adam Jones to end the game. It was odd, because Pena was only the second reliever Guillen used. *But I’m still giving him a “good pena” tag for picking [...]
July 29: White Sox 9, Mariners 5
Freddy Garcia survived the Mariners’ hardest punches. His counterparts? Not so much. Garcia minimized the damage in each of his tough innings for a quality start en route to his 10th win of the season, bolstered by four homers of support as the Sox won their 11th straight game at home. The Sox actually trailed [...]
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 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 [...]
May 27: Rays 5, White Sox 1
Gavin Floyd had a nice night. He figured out how to minimize the damage when he lost his feel, and ended up with his second straight quality start, which is a first for him this season. Unfortunately, Jeff Niemann had a changeup, so the Sox were screwed. Niemann carried a shutout bid into the eighth [...]
May 25: Indians 7, White Sox 3
Jake Peavy may want to wait for somebody else to rally the troops. One day after telling his teammates what needed to be done, he gave up two big innings to the Indians while Sox hitters took their sweet time getting around on Mitch Talbot. Hey, at least Talbot didn’t throw a complete game this [...]
May 12: Twins 3, White Sox 2
For one inning, the Sox looked like a brand new team, carrying over momentum from the previous game and ready to make up some serious ground. Over the last eight, John Danks would suffer yet another tough-luck loss, bedraggled by the seeing-eyest singles ever and a tight strike zone. Danks allowed three runs over seven [...]
May 3: White Sox 5, Royals 1
The Royals were the cure for whatever was ailing Jake Peavy. The White Sox offense still has some work to do. Peavy tossed seven shutout innings, keeping the Royals out of the hit column until two outs in the fifth. He walked just one batter (Chris Getz, naturally) and struck out nine. It should have [...]
