Jake Peavy had given the Sox seven great innings — not pukeworthy by his standards. He had thrown 104 pitches. He had a 2-1 lead. Moreover, in the eighth, the Indians had four lefties and a switch-hitter lined up. Add it all up, and Ozzie Guillen had no reason to not pull him. Yet he [...]
April 13: Blue Jays 4, White Sox 2
It’s not like the city of Toronto needs a reason to boo Alex Rios. And no baseball fan needs motivation to do the same for A.J. Pierzynski. Each gave Blue Jays fans a reason to do so. Toronto starter Ricky Romero carried a no-hitter into the eighth when his first pitch “hit” A.J. Pierzynski on [...]
April 12: White Sox 8, Blue Jays 7 (11 innings)
Ozzie Guillen made a curious decision when he called on Randy Williams to clean up Jake Peavy’s bases-loaded, two-out mess in the sixth inning. Williams walked Adam Lind on four pitches, and Guillen had seen enough. Leaving a trail of profanity from the dugout to the mound, Guillen yanked Williams and called on Sergio Santos. [...]
April 10: Twins 2, White Sox 1
Well, Hawk Harrelson can’t blame the bullpen on this one. Scott Linebrink, of all people, pitched out of a bases-loaded-nobody-out situation (created in part by a Juan Pierre error near the line — more later) with two jamshots and a strikeout. And then added another scoreless inning on top of that. Nor can anybody blame [...]
April 9: Twins 4, White Sox 3 (11 innings)
This kind of game is a fan murderer. I’m not sure what was the most frustrating part… No. 1: Watching Tony Pena strike out J.J. Hardy once, if not twice, with two outs in the 10th inning, only to have home plate umpire Chris Guccione disagree. Hardy, of course, grounded a single through the left [...]
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 [...]
