August 26: White Sox 8, Orioles 0

Man, Edwin Jackson should throw more than seven pitches. Pitching for the first time since the monsoon in Kansas City, Jackson dominated the Orioles for eight innings, giving the Sox their first series win in six sets. Jackson struck out 10 hitters, cracking double-digits in back-to-back starts for the first time in his career. And [...]

August 25: Orioles 4, White Sox 2

The White Sox offense hasn’t had a night like this in a while, but if it underscores how a guy like Manny Ramirez can help down the stretch, maybe some good will come of it. Mark Buehrle pitched OK, but he was no match for Brian Matusz, who allowed only a couple of hard-hit balls [...]

July 16: Twins 7, White Sox 4

Apparently, when the White Sox make errors, they make errors in bunches. They committed four errors, leading to five unearned runs, as the Twins evened the series without much of their own doing. Gavin Floyd was the unlucky recipient of the “help,” running into the same problem John Danks did the day before.  There were [...]

July 7: White Sox 5, Angels 2

One night after losing Jake Peavy to what appears to be a season-ending injury, Freddy Garcia put the rotation back on track.  He pitched around three of a season-high five errors, holding down the Angels until the White Sox could crack Joe Saunders.  In the process, they took their second straight series from an AL [...]

June 11: White Sox 10, Cubs 5

A.J. Pierzynski continued his torrid hitting at Wrigley Field, Alex Rios made his mark on the crosstown rivalry, and Jake Peavy hit a milestone. All in a day’s work for the Sox, who won three straight games for the first time since April 25 with a pretty convincing rout. Rios triggered the rallies, and Pierzynski [...]

June 8: Tigers 7, White Sox 2

This disaster unfolded with one of the softest line drives imaginable, one off the bat of Ramon Santiago headed toward Matt Thornton. Thornton was expecting something more difficult, reacting too fast, and then adjusting too late as the ball rattled in and out of his mitt. With that small step, the Tigers were on their [...]

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 6: Blue Jays 2, White Sox 0

John Danks pitched seven innings. Six were strong, one was a little rough, and that’s all it took for him to receive his first loss of the season. A two-run double by Fred Lewis in the fifth inning provided the only runs scored in this game, and the Blue Jays had as many hits in [...]

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. [...]
