The White Sox organization paid tribute to Frank Thomas by retiring his number before the game. White Sox hitters saluted him by retiring their bats. In the process, rookie Ivan Nova got his first major-league win, defeating Gavin Floyd in a pitching matchup the Sox had to win in order to stay competitive in the [...]
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 [...]
July 3: Rangers 3, White Sox 1
Imagine Friday’s game without the comeback, and this is what you get. The Sox couldn’t solve Tommy Hunter until he began to tire in the eighth, as he scattered eight singles over the first seven innings with no damage done while the Rangers gave him a 3-0 lead. But his control started to fade, and [...]
June 28: Royals 3, White Sox 1
Evidently, the only kind of charity the White Sox accept is National League charity. After two weeks of playing sturdy baseball while the lesser team crumbled, the Sox couldn’t take advantage of any of your typical Kansas City mistakes. Yuniesky Betancourt had a field day by himself. Let’s run down the list of his boners. [...]
June 20: White Sox 6, Nationals 3
Freddy Garcia wasn’t as sharp as Gavin Floyd or Jake Peavy, but as has so often been the case this season, he was good enough. The Sox offense showed up for the first time all series, with a 15-hit attack that propelled Garcia to his eighth win of the season and the team’s sixth in [...]
June 19: White Sox 1, Nationals 0
Jake Peavy was originally start Thursday in the finale against the Pirates, but a fluid build-up in the shoulder pushed him back to Saturday. It was well worth the wait, as Peavy threw his first shutout in a White Sox uniform with no margin for error (the score was a product of Ozzie Guillen sitting [...]
June 18: White Sox 2, Nationals 1 (11 innings)
Everybody expected Steven Strasburg to eat the White Sox alive, and he lived up to the billing. Not everybody expected Gavin Floyd to outlast him, but that’s exactly what he did. Floyd’s eight strong innings allowed the game to move into a battle of the bullpens, and White Sox relievers reigned supreme tonight. Juan Pierre [...]
June 15: White Sox 6, Pirates 4
The Sox entered tonight in search of a palate-cleanser, and the Pirates got the job done. There’s a difference between a mediocre team and a bad one, and it showed its face tonight. When: *Freddy Garcia pitches poorly and still gets the win… *Ramon Castro (who reached base four times!) scores from first on a [...]
June 10: White Sox 3, Tigers 0
It’s not easy for the White Sox to win two in a row, but John Danks’ return to form made the formula a lot simpler. The Sox lineup scored as many runs as Danks allowed hits. That’s usually a good sign, and it certainly worked to the Sox’s advantage as they strung together victories for [...]
April 16: Indians 6, White Sox 2
Up until tonight, Mitch Talbot hadn’t seen much success in the big leagues. Combining his time as a September call-up in Tampa Bay and his first start with the Indians this year, Talbot was 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA and 16 walks to six strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings. One thing he had going for [...]
