Today’s game was largely ceremonial. A.J. Pierzynski was lifted after three innings for Tyler Flowers, so Pierzynski could get a standing ovation. Ozzie Guillen did the same for Paul Konerko with one out in the seventh. Still, there was a game to be played, and Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez played it well. In the [...]
October 2: White Sox 6, Indians 2 (6 innings)
It was a lucky 13 for Mark Buehrle, who received some luck, some offense, and some help from Mother Nature to avoid his second losing season. Buehrle and his counterpart, Carlos Carrasco, found themselves tied at 2, even though the offenses didn’t have much to do with it. The Sox scored their first two runs [...]
September 30: White Sox 8, Red Sox 2
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 26: White Sox 4, Angels 3
Jered Weaver used to dominate the Sox, but now it’s Tony Pena who has the upper hand. For the second time this season, Pena earned the “W” while Weaver took the loss. And this time, Pena filled in for an injured starter from the get-go. The Angels got to Pena early, but the Sox got [...]
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 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 24: White Sox 7, Orioles 5
For those of you who hate bunting, tonight’s victory had to be sweet. The Sox and Orioles were tied at 2 in the seventh when A.J. Pierzynski reached with a leadoff single. Ozzie Guillen called for Alexei Ramirez to bunt. He fouled off two of them, and then went down swinging on a Jeremy Guthrie [...]
August 19: White Sox 11, Twins 0
The Sox greeted Carl Pavano with two base hits. They’d have 19 more before the night was over. Led by Paul Konerko’s 5-for-5 night, the Sox shrugged off a couple of crushing one-run victories by crushing Pavano. The last time Pavano faced the Sox, he outdueled Mark Buehrle in a pair of complete games. Buehrle [...]
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, [...]
August 14: Tigers 3, White Sox 2
With Bobby Jenks on the shelf due to back spasms, J.J. Putz got his first true chance to stake his claim on the closer role. He responded by giving up a two-run homer to Alex Avila with one out in the top of the ninth, turning a 2-1 lead into a loss by the final [...]
