In the first inning, Paul Konerko got hit in the face by a Carl Pavano fastball, made Herm Schneider pull him back in order to wedge a wad of cotton in his nose, and stayed in the game. The next time up, he put a first-pitch Pavano fastball in the seats. The Sox, on the [...]
September 10: White Sox 4, Royals 3
For seven and a half innings, it looked like Mark Buehrle would be undone by his adversaries — Joe West and Willie Bloomquist. Instead, the Royals were undermined by their nemesis — their own defense. Subdued by Bruce Chen, the Sox rallied for three runs off Robinson Tejeda in the bottom of the eighth to [...]

July 17: Twins 3, White Sox 2
Mark Buehrle threw only 95 pitches in a complete game tonight. Alas, a rocky 11-pitch period in the second inning cost him, and the Sox blew a chance to get him off the hook in the ninth. Buehrle had a 1-0 lead going into the second inning, when he was greeted by four straight Twins [...]
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 [...]
May 30: White Sox 8, Rays 5
A struggling Jake Peavy had the option of pushing his next start back, as Mark Buehrle only threw 36 pitches before Joe West ejected him. Peavy would have none of it. But he didn’t have much on the mound. In fact, he needed a cast of rejects and retreads to bail him out. It might [...]
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 23: Marlins 13, White Sox 0
Ladies and gentlemen, Freddy Garcia’s thin margin of error. Any hopes of a White Sox sweep were dashed immediately, as the Marlins greeted Garcia with four runs in the first and pounded him into the ground with three of their five homers on the day. He lasted only 2 1/3 innings, giving up seven runs [...]
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 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 [...]
