Meaningless stretch run games aren’t so to players trying to jockey for a roster spot. Case in point: Dayan Viciedo, who delivered a pinch-hit walk-off single to end this one. Viciedo came to the plate with runners on the corners and two outs, deployed by Ozzie Guillen to face lefty Dustin Richardson. Terry Francona countered [...]
September 27: Red Sox 6, White Sox 1
One of the Sox still have something to play for, and it certainly looked like that. Backed by Clay Buchholz’s strong X innings, the Red Sox preserved their hopes with an easy, easy victory. Following the path of John Danks and Tony Pena, Mark Buehrle allowed two first inning runs. Unfortunately, he would allow a [...]
September 5: White Sox 7, Red Sox 5
Thanks to moroots for the recap. The White Sox didn’t need extra innings to earn their first road sweep of the Red Sox since 1991, but thanks to an extended ninth-inning rally and the excruciating pace of Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon, it felt like the Sox were working overtime this Labor Day weekend. The [...]
September 4: White Sox 3, Red Sox 1 (Game 2)
Thanks to shinons for the recap. After a Carlos Quentin triple then score on a collision at the plate, the next time he took the plate he was met with a John Lackey fastball square in the back. Coincidentally, Quentin came into the game with a 2.156 OPS against Lackey. Righty-killer Big Papi Ortiz led [...]
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 11: White Sox 6, Twins 1
The Twins never beat themselves, except when they do. And when that happens, it’s pretty damn sweet. Glen Perkins looked like a Triple-A pitcher, Michael Cuddyer showed his inexperience at first, and John Danks was too much for everybody as the Sox picked up a much-needed win. Denard Span started the game by doubling off [...]
August 10: Twins 12, White Sox 6
The first batter Freddy Garcia faced, Denard Span, lined a rocket into Paul Konerko’s glove. That was the extent of Garcia’s luck. Once again, Garcia had bad location against the Twins, and this time he paid for it. He allowed more homers (three) than he completed innings (2 1/3), giving up six runs in the [...]
August 4: White Sox 4, Tigers 1
Edwin Jackson passed his first test by simply throwing strikes. He put pitches over the plate in hopes that the Tigers would get themselves out. By and large, they did just that. Jackson allowed two baserunners in each of the first four innings, but he kept giving the Tigers pitches to hit, and they didn’t [...]
July 26: White Sox 6, Mariners 1
Facing Felix Hernandez for the second time in a week, the Sox looked far more comfortable against Seattle’s ace. It helped that Hernandez wasn’t at his best. John Danks was, though, and he cruised to an easy victory, killing a two-game losing streak and preserving the division lead in the process. It looked like a [...]
July 18: Twins 7, White Sox 6
The White Sox had walked a tightrope act all day. Freddy Garcia had allowed just three runs despite letting 12 on base over his six innings, and J.J. Putz barely escaped with his scoreless innings streak in tact after allowing runners on the corners with one out in the eighth. Even still, it was hard [...]
