This game would have been plenty more complicated to discuss if it weren’t for Alex Rios. Rios’ two-run homer off failed White Sox reliever David Aardsma gave the Sox their second straight walk-off victory en route to their first series victory of the season. Like Andruw Jones saved J.J. Putz, Rios also gave some people [...]
April 23: White Sox 7, Mariners 6
Thank you Andrew [sic] Jones for saving my ass. – J.J. Putz Forget about the game. How different might this season have been if it weren’t for Andruw Jones. Celebrating his birthday, Jones bookended the game with homers, and the second couldn’t have been more sorely needed. Not only was it a walk-off off Mark [...]
April 20: White Sox 4, Rays 1
After his last outing — one run on two hits over seven against Toronto — John Danks was hard-pressed to come up with a sufficient encore. How does one run on two hits over eight innings sound? Because that’s what he did against a far superior offense that happened to be riding a seven-game road [...]
April 16: Indians 6, White Sox 2
Up until tonight, Mitch Talbot hadn’t seen much success in the big leagues. Combining his time as a September call-up in Tampa Bay and his first start with the Indians this year, Talbot was 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA and 16 walks to six strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings. One thing he had going for [...]
April 11: White Sox 5, Twins 4
Three home runs and a game-ending outfield assist from Juan Pierre. Yup, that’s how the White Sox drew it up this offseason. That’s only half-joking, though, because one aspect of the Sox’s plan of attack worked to perfection: The rotating DH. Mark Kotsay homered earlier in the game, and when Ron Gardenhire brought in left-handed [...]
April 7: Indians 5, White Sox 3
Hawk Harrelson likes to say that the best pitch in baseball is “strike one.” As Jake Peavy showed tonight, there’s a little more to it than that. Peavy started off 16 of 26 batters with a strike. Getting to 0-2 wasn’t a problem, either. He just couldn’t make the pitch he needed to finish off [...]
April 5: White Sox 6, Indians 0
Mark Buehrle may have set a franchise record with his eighth Opening Day start, but he pitched like he had something to prove. In the process, he made what might be the defensive play of the season. Given an early lead on a first-inning Paul Konerko homer, Buehrle tossed seven mostly drama free inning, possibly [...]
