Paul Konerko ensured there would be no such bases-loaded trouble tonight. The Captain did what his teammates could not do on Wednesday — find a way to get the big hit with the sacks packed and blow the game open. And he did so against one of the best pitchers in the league. Jon Lester [...]
August 28: Yankees 12, White Sox 9
What was supposed to be an excellent pitching match-up turned into a slugfest thanks to a nice jet stream heading straight out to left field. Nick Swisher took advantage of it in the first inning with an opposite-field two-run shot to set the tone, and slugfest was on. Danks and Sabathia were both hit around, [...]
August 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6
It’s not a good sign when the Sox starters continue to outlast their Minnesota counterparts, and yet they still keep losing. This time, the bullpen wasn’t to blame. It’s all on Gavin Floyd, who missed a lot of spots. The Twins didn’t miss many of his mistakes. The Sox gave him second and third lives, [...]
July 31: A’s 6, White Sox 2
When you win 12 home games in a row, you’re due for a clunker. Tonight was one of those nights. John Danks needed two innings and a batter to figure things out, and by that point, he was down 5-0, and the offense couldn’t figure out Dallas Braden’s changeup to bail him out. His location [...]
July 27: White Sox 11, Mariners 0
Bullet points only seem fitting for how hard they hit Ryan Rowland-Smith: *The Sox jumped on Rowland-Smith for all 11 runs over five innings, including three homers. He was clearly out there to take a beating after allowing seven runs over the first three. *It started with a Juan Pierre single, a stolen base, an [...]
July 11: White Sox 15, Royals 5
I’m going to go out on a limb and say if the Sox score 15 runs every fifth day, they’re not going to miss Jake Peavy. Daniel Hudson wasn’t sharp in his 2010 MLB debut, and he didn’t need to be, because the Sox brought the thunder. Anthony Lerew, who shut down the White Sox [...]
July 9: White Sox 8, Royals 2
Mark Buehrle’s night started with a line drive to the right wrist off the bat of Scott Podsednik. The shot required Herm Schneider and Ozzie Guillen to visit the mound, but Buehrle stayed in the game. Good thing he did, as he threw seven scoreless innings and set up the Sox for their second consecutive [...]
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 [...]
July 6: White Sox 4, Angels 1
In 34 2/3 innings against the White Sox in his career, Jered Weaver had allowed two runs. So when Jake Peavy left the game in the second inning with a scary-looking lat injury, it looked like another cakewalk in the making. Nope. Instead, the Sox played the kind of game that makes you think there’s [...]
May 3: White Sox 5, Royals 1
The Royals were the cure for whatever was ailing Jake Peavy. The White Sox offense still has some work to do. Peavy tossed seven shutout innings, keeping the Royals out of the hit column until two outs in the fifth. He walked just one batter (Chris Getz, naturally) and struck out nine. It should have [...]
