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 [...]
September 16: Twins 8, White Sox 5
In the first inning, Paul Konerko got hit in the face by a Carl Pavano fastball, made Herm Schneider pull him back in order to wedge a wad of cotton in his nose, and stayed in the game. The next time up, he put a first-pitch Pavano fastball in the seats. The Sox, on the [...]
September 12: White Sox 12, Royals 6
The 2010 Chicago White Sox aren’t dead yet. They should be, but they aren’t. Lucas Harrell spotted Kansas City six runs before the Sox even came to the plate, surrendering a pair of three-run homers. Meanwhile in Cleveland, the Twins took a big, early lead. Falling seven behind looked to be a foregone conclusion. But [...]
September 11: Royals 8, White Sox 2
(Thanks to dbelcher5761 for snagging the screenshot.) This pensive couple had their wedding at U.S. Cellular Field before tonight’s game, then got some face time on the WGN broadcast in the bottom of the first inning. At the time, the White Sox were trailing 1-0. Edwin Jackson walked Gregor Blanco to start the game, and [...]
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 [...]
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 30: White Sox 10, Indians 6 (11 innings)
I thought this moment on the broadcast, captured while Brent Lillibridge trotted around the bases after his go-ahead solo shot with two outs in the 11th inning, summed up the events quite nicely: You have two kinds of Cleveland fans in the picture. One is devastated, and who could blame her? The Indians climbed back [...]
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 26: White Sox 8, Orioles 0
Man, Edwin Jackson should throw more than seven pitches. Pitching for the first time since the monsoon in Kansas City, Jackson dominated the Orioles for eight innings, giving the Sox their first series win in six sets. Jackson struck out 10 hitters, cracking double-digits in back-to-back starts for the first time in his career. And [...]
August 25: Orioles 4, White Sox 2
The White Sox offense hasn’t had a night like this in a while, but if it underscores how a guy like Manny Ramirez can help down the stretch, maybe some good will come of it. Mark Buehrle pitched OK, but he was no match for Brian Matusz, who allowed only a couple of hard-hit balls [...]
