This game would have really hurt if it mattered. Edwin Jackson had a no-hitter through 5 2/3, which was spoiled by an Austin Jackson infield single. He carried a shutout through six. One wrong step sent the Sox down the wrong course. He had issues with his plant foot a couple of times, and one [...]
September 8: Tigers 5, White Sox 1
For the second straight game, a tough-to-defend error led to four (well, three) unearned runs that put this game out of reach. This time, John Danks, pitching on short rest was the unlucky beneficiary. The Sox had taken the lead on Omar Vizquel’s second home run of the year, a line shot into the first [...]
Sept. 1: White Sox 6, Indians 4
For the second straight game, Manny Ramirez had the best view of a teammate hitting a game-winning three-run homer. On Tuesday, it was A.J. Pierzynski. Today, it was Paul Konerko. The Sox, who were sluggish all day off rookie Carlos Carrasco and sloppy on defense, too, exploded for four runs in the eighth inning en [...]
August 21: Royals 6, White Sox 5 (Game 1, 11 innings)
Right before Sergio Santos broke White Sox fans’ hearts, Kansas City analyst Frank White was talking about Yuniesky Betancourt’s two grand slams, and how he’s doing damage when he gets a fastball on the inner half. You’ll never guess where Santos threw his 1-0 fastball to Betancourt, with the bases loaded and the Sox holding [...]
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 15: White Sox 5, Royals 4
It’s nice to see that as bad as the White Sox are, they’re still able to turn the tables on the Kansas City Royals. Much like Mark Buehrle was Friday night, Luke Hochevar was cruising through six innings. He had a 4-1 lead against a team he had no problems with. He would only record [...]
May 14: Royals 6, White Sox 1
Mark Buehrle entered the seventh inning looking efficient, sharp and relaxed. He had thrown just 69 pitches over the first six, and limited the damage to a Yuniesky Betancourt solo homer just inside the left-field foul pole. Then, the wheels fell off. Not just for Buehrle, but for Mark Teahen, Tony Pena, Randy Williams, and [...]
May 4: Royals 7, White Sox 2
This game should’ve been this ugly, but how it happened hurt a little. It wouldn’t have been surprising if Gavin Floyd couldn’t get through three, as he only had one pitch working and it wasn’t his best one. He allowed the first two runners to reach in the first, and loaded the bases with nobody [...]
May 2: Yankees 12, White Sox 3
Maybe it was because I was stewing in 90-degree heat, but just about everything in this game was agonizing. THE DEFENSE *The Yankees scored their first run thanks to Paul Konerko’s lack of range. He deflected a fieldable ball for Gordon Beckham, and nobody could end up getting. Robinson Cano scored from second on an [...]
April 20: White Sox 4, Rays 1
After his last outing — one run on two hits over seven against Toronto — John Danks was hard-pressed to come up with a sufficient encore. How does one run on two hits over eight innings sound? Because that’s what he did against a far superior offense that happened to be riding a seven-game road [...]
