Mark Kotsay saved Bobby Jenks’ bacon by providing two necessary insurance runs in the top of the ninth. Two innings later, he gave the Sox another two-run lead that Sergio Santos held up. Santos got his first career victory, the Sox won a series against the Tigers on the road, and Kotsay finally got to [...]
July 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6
The White Sox had walked a tightrope act all day. Freddy Garcia had allowed just three runs despite letting 12 on base over his six innings, and J.J. Putz barely escaped with his scoreless innings streak in tact after allowing runners on the corners with one out in the eighth. Even still, it was hard [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
April 29: White Sox 7, Rangers 5
Whether he’s starting one of history’s great contract drives or merely playing the part of “captain” to the best of his abilities, Paul Konerko continues to rake, and his bat made the difference today. Konerko cashed in a runner from third, then hit his ninth and 10th homers of the season, part of a four-RBI [...]
April 28: Rangers 6, White Sox 5
The theme of today’s game is “delayed reaction.” By the time Jake Peavy settled down, he was already trailing 5-0, and by the time the offense started stringing hits together, it ran out of outs. Peavy allowed five runs in the first inning during a 41-pitch disaster, walking three consecutive batters with two outs and [...]
April 27: Rangers 4, White Sox 2
The unfavorable comparisons to Scott Podsednik continue for Juan Pierre. Earlier in the game, Pierre made a nice catch in front of the wall on a deep fly by Chris Gentry, but just when you think he might be fine in front of the fence, a deep drive by Matt Treanor makes you think again. [...]
April 15: Blue Jays 7, White Sox 3
In his first start of the season, Freddy Garcia showed what he was capable of. You could say he did the same in this start, although in a different way. He showed what happens when he gets too much of the plate. Garcia was flat. Unlike his outing against the Twins, when he was extremely [...]
April 9: Twins 4, White Sox 3 (11 innings)
This kind of game is a fan murderer. I’m not sure what was the most frustrating part… No. 1: Watching Tony Pena strike out J.J. Hardy once, if not twice, with two outs in the 10th inning, only to have home plate umpire Chris Guccione disagree. Hardy, of course, grounded a single through the left [...]
