White Sox pitchers threw eight 1-2-3 innings. It should have been nine, but A.J. Pierzynski couldn’t block a Sergio Santos slider, and after Pierzynski threw the ball away, an inning-ending strikeout turned into a three-base error. Because a Tiger reached, a Tiger scored. In fact, two did. A Gerald Laird single and an Austin Jackson [...]
September 10: White Sox 4, Royals 3
For seven and a half innings, it looked like Mark Buehrle would be undone by his adversaries — Joe West and Willie Bloomquist. Instead, the Royals were undermined by their nemesis — their own defense. Subdued by Bruce Chen, the Sox rallied for three runs off Robinson Tejeda in the bottom of the eighth to [...]
September 6: White Sox 5, Tigers 4 (10 innings)
Chris Sale picked up his first major-league victory, but it was a result of a total team effort that led to another inspiring comeback. Not that Sale didn’t earn it. He was a one-man bullpen today, throwing 2 2/3 perfect innings in relief of Edwin Jackson, and holding down Detroit until the Sox could fight [...]
August 31: White Sox 4, Indians 3
Edwin Jackson did his best imitation of an ace, striking out 11 hitters, giving his offense all the time in the world to put runs on the board, and saving an overtaxed and underperforming bullpen. Jackson also did his best imitation of said bullpen, failing to record the 27th out, putting a three-run lead in [...]
August 22: Royals 3, White Sox 2 (10 innings)
Another day, another heroic pitching performance ruined, another extra-innings gulag and another series loss. The most absurd of three-game series concluded the only way it really could — an extra-innings walk-off. This time, it was Scott Linebrink issuing the two-out walk, allowing the stolen base and then giving up the game-ending hit to Jason Kendall. [...]
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 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 17: Twins 7, White Sox 6 (10 innings)
This appeared to be a disheartening loss when John Danks flirted with an early fold. He threw a nice fastball, knee-high and on the inside black, for what should’ve been strike three against the second batter of the game, Orlando Hudson. It wasn’t called. His next pitch ended up over the left-field wall, setting the [...]

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 [...]
