Somebody had to give Justin Masterson his first win of the season. The White Sox were as good of a candidate as any. Masterson wasn’t even good. He allowed five hits and walked six over 5 2/3 innings, and he also hit two batters. But despite all those baserunners, the Sox only managed five at-bats [...]
May 24: White Sox 7, Indians 2
Boy, did this one ever play out by the numbers. Cleveland starter Justin Masterson entered tonight’s game with a startling inability to retire left-handed hitters. They posted an OBP of .472, and it only got higher after the first inning. The first four left-handed hitters reached. Juan Pierre and A.J. Pierzynski singled, and after an [...]
May 19: Angels 3, White Sox 2
John Danks still doesn’t know how to win, and it’s getting increasingly painful. Danks pitched his tail off, only to be abandoned by his teammates, first offensively, and then defensively. He allowed only one hit over the first seven innings, and pitched around a key eighth-inning jam as well. There were only two problems. No. [...]
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 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 25: White Sox 3, Mariners 2
“The pitching staff is going to keep us in the game and when we have a shot we’re going to take it,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “But can you please win before the ninth? That would be nice.” – Ozzie Guillen How does the eighth inning sound? After two games won via the walk-off homer, [...]
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 [...]
April 14: White Sox 11, Blue Jays 1
The White Sox’s struggles in Toronto are well-documented. John Danks hadn’t pitched well against the Blue Jays no matter where the start took place. So, of course, the only logical conclusion is that the Sox set a season-high for runs, win by double digits while Danks and Tony Pena combined for a two-hitter. Of course. [...]
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 [...]
