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 [...]
September 14: Twins 9, White Sox 3
One could pin this on Manny Ramirez, who struck out three times, including once with a runner on third and one out, and another time with two outs and the bases loaded. He stranded six runners. One could blame it on Rios (Alex), who went 0-for-3 with only two strikeouts, but botched charging one line [...]
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 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 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 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 [...]
August 13: White Sox 8, Tigers 4
The game had just become official when an impending severe storm threatened to cut the game off early. With a scoreless tie, Ozzie Guillen decided to play for one run. The White Sox offense gave him four. Where was this yesterday? After A.J. Pierzynski bunted runners over to second and third, Mark Kotsay hit a [...]
August 3: White Sox 12, Tigers 2 (Game 1)
Mark Buehrle gave the Sox exactly what they needed in a game that wasn’t only the first of a four-game set, but the first of a doubleheader as well. He threw 7 2/3 efficient innings while getting plenty of offensive support en route to his 10th win of the season. He gave up seven hits, [...]
July 28: White Sox 6, Mariners 5
Power brought the White Sox back, and power closed this game out. As a result, the White Sox won their third straight game, and one they probably shouldn’t have been in considering the way it started. Seattle scored all five of its runs over the first two innings. Mark Buehrle had some bad luck (Franklin [...]
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 [...]
