Tony Pena the Starter finally looked as inconsistent as Tony Pena the Reliever, and with the worst lineup of the season behind him, there was no way he was getting out of his early hole. The Indians greeted Pena with two doubles and a homer, and the game was lost at the start. Pena gave [...]
September 12: White Sox 12, Royals 6
The 2010 Chicago White Sox aren’t dead yet. They should be, but they aren’t. Lucas Harrell spotted Kansas City six runs before the Sox even came to the plate, surrendering a pair of three-run homers. Meanwhile in Cleveland, the Twins took a big, early lead. Falling seven behind looked to be a foregone conclusion. But [...]
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 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6
It’s not a good sign when the Sox starters continue to outlast their Minnesota counterparts, and yet they still keep losing. This time, the bullpen wasn’t to blame. It’s all on Gavin Floyd, who missed a lot of spots. The Twins didn’t miss many of his mistakes. The Sox gave him second and third lives, [...]
August 10: Twins 12, White Sox 6
The first batter Freddy Garcia faced, Denard Span, lined a rocket into Paul Konerko’s glove. That was the extent of Garcia’s luck. Once again, Garcia had bad location against the Twins, and this time he paid for it. He allowed more homers (three) than he completed innings (2 1/3), giving up six runs in the [...]
July 24: A’s 10, White Sox 2
The less said about this one, the better. Considering Freddy Garcia threw a miracle quality start in his last outing, his uppance may have come today. He allowed five runs on six hits and three walks over 1 1/3 innings. The end of the first inning showed what kind of day he had in store. [...]
June 2: Rangers 9, White Sox 5
On Tuesday, almost everybody had some responsibility in the 9-6 loss to the Rangers. Tonight, the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Gavin Floyd. Floyd had nothing. The Rangers batted around in the first en route to battering him for six runs on eight hits over just 2 2/3 innings. He threw only 35 [...]
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 [...]
April 22: Rays 10, White Sox 2
For the third time this season, Jake Peavy was given a two-run lead. For the third time this season, Peavy blew it. Maybe the Sox should have scored more off an erratic James Shields in the first inning, when he threw 34 pitches and loaded the bases with one out. The Sox needed Jason Bartlett [...]
April 18: Indians 7, White Sox 4
Gavin Floyd just upped the ante in the “Worst Start of the Year” pool. What does it look like when a starter has nothing against a team whose best starters all hit from the opposite side of the plate? 1 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 4 BB, 2 K 1 HR And the homer was [...]
