Today’s game was largely ceremonial. A.J. Pierzynski was lifted after three innings for Tyler Flowers, so Pierzynski could get a standing ovation. Ozzie Guillen did the same for Paul Konerko with one out in the seventh. Still, there was a game to be played, and Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez played it well. In the [...]
September 17: Tigers 9, White Sox 2
This game would have really hurt if it mattered. Edwin Jackson had a no-hitter through 5 2/3, which was spoiled by an Austin Jackson infield single. He carried a shutout through six. One wrong step sent the Sox down the wrong course. He had issues with his plant foot a couple of times, and one [...]
September 10: White Sox 4, Royals 3
For seven and a half innings, it looked like Mark Buehrle would be undone by his adversaries — Joe West and Willie Bloomquist. Instead, the Royals were undermined by their nemesis — their own defense. Subdued by Bruce Chen, the Sox rallied for three runs off Robinson Tejeda in the bottom of the eighth to [...]
September 7: Tigers 9, White Sox 1
Two bad backs undermined the White Sox’ hopes of extending their seven-game winning streak and perfect road trip. One belonged to Freddy Garcia, who had to leave after two innings with the Sox down 2-1. He gave up a two-run homer to Johnny Damon in the first, but got through the second OK. His departure [...]
September 6: White Sox 5, Tigers 4 (10 innings)
Chris Sale picked up his first major-league victory, but it was a result of a total team effort that led to another inspiring comeback. Not that Sale didn’t earn it. He was a one-man bullpen today, throwing 2 2/3 perfect innings in relief of Edwin Jackson, and holding down Detroit until the Sox could fight [...]
Sept. 1: White Sox 6, Indians 4
For the second straight game, Manny Ramirez had the best view of a teammate hitting a game-winning three-run homer. On Tuesday, it was A.J. Pierzynski. Today, it was Paul Konerko. The Sox, who were sluggish all day off rookie Carlos Carrasco and sloppy on defense, too, exploded for four runs in the eighth inning en [...]
August 21: Royals 6, White Sox 5 (Game 1, 11 innings)
Right before Sergio Santos broke White Sox fans’ hearts, Kansas City analyst Frank White was talking about Yuniesky Betancourt’s two grand slams, and how he’s doing damage when he gets a fastball on the inner half. You’ll never guess where Santos threw his 1-0 fastball to Betancourt, with the bases loaded and the Sox holding [...]
July 8: White Sox 1, Angels 0
Against an Angels lineup at its worst, John Danks was at his best — and he needed to be. The White Sox put a single run up on the board in the first inning, and Danks made it hold up by firing an ultra-efficient two hitter to complete the four-game sweep over the Angels. It [...]
July 5: White Sox 9, Angels 2
If Carlos Quentin isn’t back to full strength, then tonight was a hell of a tease. He took a run off the board with an incredible diving, rolling catch on the warning track in the first inning, and then put three on the board for the Sox with two blasts to left field. The Sox [...]
June 29: White Sox 4, Royals 3
The Royals conjured up all their vengeance power, with three former Sox getting the job done. But Gavin Floyd, Matt Thornton and J.J. Putz made four quick runs stand up as they ended a two-game losing streak. Gavin Floyd looked dominant early (he retired nine of 10 at one point) and was backed by some [...]
