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 24: White Sox 2, Angels 1
Facing a lineup with four rookies and a bust of a prospect, Freddy Garcia enjoyed the equivalent of a rehab start. Although he still sought his 12th win by the end of it, he passed the test. Garcia threw six innings of one-run ball, allowing one run on four hits and two walks, and pitching [...]
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 [...]
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 27: White Sox 9, Yankees 4
The Yankees entered tonight tied for the best record in the league, but A.J. Burnett and his defense didn’t scare anybody. The Sox greeted Burnett with four first-inning runs, and tagged him for nine over his 4 2/3 innings as the Sox grabbed a much-needed victory in this series opener. Burnett had a 1-0 lead [...]
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 [...]
August 15: Tigers 13, White Sox 8
For the second time in two days, J.J. Putz let a ballgame get away from him. Saturday night was simply a blown save. This one was a fan-murderer. The Sox offense provided fodder for a feel-good finale, battling back from a 5-1 deficit with three runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth. [...]
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 [...]
August 5: White Sox 6, Tigers 4 (11 innings)
Mark Kotsay saved Bobby Jenks’ bacon by providing two necessary insurance runs in the top of the ninth. Two innings later, he gave the Sox another two-run lead that Sergio Santos held up. Santos got his first career victory, the Sox won a series against the Tigers on the road, and Kotsay finally got to [...]
July 29: White Sox 9, Mariners 5
Freddy Garcia survived the Mariners’ hardest punches. His counterparts? Not so much. Garcia minimized the damage in each of his tough innings for a quality start en route to his 10th win of the season, bolstered by four homers of support as the Sox won their 11th straight game at home. The Sox actually trailed [...]
