In the process of winning his career-high 14th game, John Danks also snapped a 19-start winless streak by White Sox starters as he helped the team stretch its winning streak to three. Danks allowed the two Angels runs in the first inning, starting off shakily with a leadoff walk. Two opposite field hits later, the [...]
September 4: White Sox 3, Red Sox 1 (Game 1)
Thanks to Shinons for the recap. After Hurricane Earl prevented Friday night’s game, John Danks worked around a couple tough situations to hold the tattered Red Sox to one run over seven innings. He handed off to the bullpen, and Sergio Santos and Bobby Jenks took care of business from there. Danks had a couple [...]
August 11: White Sox 6, Twins 1
The Twins never beat themselves, except when they do. And when that happens, it’s pretty damn sweet. Glen Perkins looked like a Triple-A pitcher, Michael Cuddyer showed his inexperience at first, and John Danks was too much for everybody as the Sox picked up a much-needed win. Denard Span started the game by doubling off [...]
August 6: Orioles 2, White Sox 1 (10 innings)
*Tony Pena, for some reason, was expected to throw three scoreless innings. He could only complete 2 2/3 of them, giving up a game-winning single to Adam Jones to end the game. It was odd, because Pena was only the second reliever Guillen used. *But I’m still giving him a “good pena” tag for picking [...]
July 26: White Sox 6, Mariners 1
Facing Felix Hernandez for the second time in a week, the Sox looked far more comfortable against Seattle’s ace. It helped that Hernandez wasn’t at his best. John Danks was, though, and he cruised to an easy victory, killing a two-game losing streak and preserving the division lead in the process. It looked like a [...]
July 20: White Sox 4, Mariners 0
Another night in Seattle, another pretty smooth victory. This time, John Danks shut the Mariners down while the offense picked away at Doug Fister as the the White Sox extended their lead to 3 1/2 games. Danks was dominant. Only one runner reached scoring position, and Danks ended that threat with a double play. And [...]
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 [...]
June 22: White Sox 9, Braves 6
Maybe after surviving Stephen Strasburg’s best punch, Tommy Hanson looked like just another pitcher. The Sox singled one of the National League’s top young right-handed pitchers to death, sending him to the showers after just 3 2/3 innings by tagging him with nine runs on 11 hits. Most were singles, and most came after John [...]
June 16: White Sox 7, Pirates 2
If this series doesn’t make you feel better about being a Sox fan, nothing will. The arrival of Pedro Alvarez was supposed to provide energy at the park. At the end of the night, he committed one of four ninth-inning Pittsburgh errors. And all four were forced by Juan Pierre. With the Sox up 5-2 [...]
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 [...]
