September 29: White Sox 5, Red Sox 2

Tonight might have been Freddy Garcia’s final start in a White Sox uniform, so it was kind of his teammates to bring him the support he was lacking in the second half. Carlos Quentin brought the defense right away with a brilliant diving catch in right-center for the first out of the game. The offense [...]

September 27: Red Sox 6, White Sox 1

One of the Sox still have something to play for, and it certainly looked like that. Backed by Clay Buchholz’s strong X innings, the Red Sox preserved their hopes with an easy, easy victory. Following the path of John Danks and Tony Pena, Mark Buehrle allowed two first inning runs. Unfortunately, he would allow a [...]

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 11: Royals 8, White Sox 2

(Thanks to dbelcher5761 for snagging the screenshot.) This pensive couple had their wedding at U.S. Cellular Field before tonight’s game, then got some face time on the WGN broadcast in the bottom of the first inning. At the time, the White Sox were trailing 1-0. Edwin Jackson walked Gregor Blanco to start the game, and [...]

August 31: White Sox 4, Indians 3

Edwin Jackson did his best imitation of an ace, striking out 11 hitters, giving his offense all the time in the world to put runs on the board, and saving an overtaxed and underperforming bullpen. Jackson also did his best imitation of said bullpen, failing to record the 27th out, putting a three-run lead in [...]

August 9: Orioles 3, White Sox 2 (10 innings)

In the ninth inning, Paul Konerko extended this one into extra innings when he sent the first pitch he saw from Alfredo Simon over the left field wall to tie the game. In the 11th inning, Brian Roberts took the first pitch he saw from J.J. Putz over the scoreboard in right field to end [...]

August 4: White Sox 4, Tigers 1

Edwin Jackson passed his first test by simply throwing strikes. He put pitches over the plate in hopes that the Tigers would get themselves out. By and large, they did just that. Jackson allowed two baserunners in each of the first four innings, but he kept giving the Tigers pitches to hit, and they didn’t [...]

July 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6

The White Sox had walked a tightrope act all day.  Freddy Garcia had allowed just three runs despite letting 12 on base over his six innings, and J.J. Putz barely escaped with his scoreless innings streak in tact after allowing runners on the corners with one out in the eighth. Even still, it was hard [...]
