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 [...]
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 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 7: White Sox 5, Angels 2
One night after losing Jake Peavy to what appears to be a season-ending injury, Freddy Garcia put the rotation back on track. He pitched around three of a season-high five errors, holding down the Angels until the White Sox could crack Joe Saunders. In the process, they took their second straight series from an AL [...]
June 26: White Sox 3, Cubs 2
We’ve seen this game before. You know, the one where the Sox starter tosses a great game, but the offense isn’t able to get him the win he deserves, and as soon as he’s out of the game and J.J. Putz is pitching, Paul Konerko delivers a thunderous, lead-providing homer in the eighth inning that [...]
June 3: White Sox 4, Rangers 3
Sometimes, the old formula works best. The Sox, who strike out less often than any other American League team, whiffed 11 times on the night. They also hit three homers. Combine it with seven strong innings from Freddy Garcia, and the Sox avoided an embarrassing sweep at the start of a month they theoretically should [...]
May 28: White Sox 4, Rays 2
Bullet points: *Tampa Bay’s David Price was 7-1 entering this game. He was outdueled by Freddy Garcia, who allowed just two runs on four hits over seven strong innings. *Garcia nearly didn’t come away with the victory, as Evan Longoria’s double in the bottom of the sixth was about a foot short of being a [...]
May 18: White Sox 6, Tigers 2
This is what happens when the White Sox keep coming. This had all the makings of an ugly one when they had a 1-0 lead, the bases loaded and nobody out in the first — and didn’t score. Alex Rios struck out looking on a very generous outside curveball, and A.J. Pierzynski grounded into a [...]
May 11: White Sox 5, Twins 2
Kevin Slowey needed only 39 pitches to get through the first four innings. Alex Rios shook things up by leading off the fifth by singling, stealing second, and taking third after Orlando Hudson failed to catch Joe Mauer’s throw. Still, it looked like more of the same when Carlos Quentin and Gordon Beckham struck out [...]
