Thanks to moroots for the recap. The White Sox didn’t need extra innings to earn their first road sweep of the Red Sox since 1991, but thanks to an extended ninth-inning rally and the excruciating pace of Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon, it felt like the Sox were working overtime this Labor Day weekend. The [...]
August 22: Royals 3, White Sox 2 (10 innings)
Another day, another heroic pitching performance ruined, another extra-innings gulag and another series loss. The most absurd of three-game series concluded the only way it really could — an extra-innings walk-off. This time, it was Scott Linebrink issuing the two-out walk, allowing the stolen base and then giving up the game-ending hit to Jason Kendall. [...]
August 14: Tigers 3, White Sox 2
With Bobby Jenks on the shelf due to back spasms, J.J. Putz got his first true chance to stake his claim on the closer role. He responded by giving up a two-run homer to Alex Avila with one out in the top of the ninth, turning a 2-1 lead into a loss by the final [...]

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 [...]
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 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 16: Royals 5, White Sox 3
This game was nearly a carbon copy of the White Sox’s 3-2 loss to the Twins on Wednesday. They followed a thrilling victory with an encouraging first two innings, only to fall into their opponents’ sleeper hold for the rest of the game. Actually, that’s not quite right. This time, the Sox pretty much roofied [...]
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 [...]
May 7: Blue Jays 7, White Sox 4 (12 innings)
I try not to resort to absolutes when it comes to fresh history, but I’m having a hard time coming up with worse managing jobs by Ozzie Guillen. You can second-guess him three times in all. No. 1: With the Sox leading 3-2, Mark Buehrle walks Jose Bautista to load the bases. That brings up [...]
