Paul Konerko ensured there would be no such bases-loaded trouble tonight. The Captain did what his teammates could not do on Wednesday — find a way to get the big hit with the sacks packed and blow the game open. And he did so against one of the best pitchers in the league. Jon Lester [...]
September 25: White Sox 6, Angels 2
In the process of winning his career-high 14th game, John Danks also snapped a 19-start winless streak by White Sox starters as he helped the team stretch its winning streak to three. Danks allowed the two Angels runs in the first inning, starting off shakily with a leadoff walk. Two opposite field hits later, the [...]
September 19: Tigers 9, White Sox 7 (11 innings)
White Sox pitchers threw eight 1-2-3 innings. It should have been nine, but A.J. Pierzynski couldn’t block a Sergio Santos slider, and after Pierzynski threw the ball away, an inning-ending strikeout turned into a three-base error. Because a Tiger reached, a Tiger scored. In fact, two did. A Gerald Laird single and an Austin Jackson [...]
September 14: Twins 9, White Sox 3
One could pin this on Manny Ramirez, who struck out three times, including once with a runner on third and one out, and another time with two outs and the bases loaded. He stranded six runners. One could blame it on Rios (Alex), who went 0-for-3 with only two strikeouts, but botched charging one line [...]
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 [...]
September 4: White Sox 3, Red Sox 1 (Game 1)
Thanks to Shinons for the recap. After Hurricane Earl prevented Friday night’s game, John Danks worked around a couple tough situations to hold the tattered Red Sox to one run over seven innings. He handed off to the bullpen, and Sergio Santos and Bobby Jenks took care of business from there. Danks had a couple [...]
August 28: Yankees 12, White Sox 9
What was supposed to be an excellent pitching match-up turned into a slugfest thanks to a nice jet stream heading straight out to left field. Nick Swisher took advantage of it in the first inning with an opposite-field two-run shot to set the tone, and slugfest was on. Danks and Sabathia were both hit around, [...]
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 17: Twins 7, White Sox 6 (10 innings)
This appeared to be a disheartening loss when John Danks flirted with an early fold. He threw a nice fastball, knee-high and on the inside black, for what should’ve been strike three against the second batter of the game, Orlando Hudson. It wasn’t called. His next pitch ended up over the left-field wall, setting the [...]
August 11: White Sox 6, Twins 1
The Twins never beat themselves, except when they do. And when that happens, it’s pretty damn sweet. Glen Perkins looked like a Triple-A pitcher, Michael Cuddyer showed his inexperience at first, and John Danks was too much for everybody as the Sox picked up a much-needed win. Denard Span started the game by doubling off [...]
