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 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 21: Athletics 7, White Sox 2
The Sox officially lost the division tonight. Bullet points: Mark Buehrle gave up 11 hits over six innings, leading to five runs. He wasn’t particularly sharp with his location. The defense wasn’t particularly sharp, either. Alexei Ramirez’s relay throw escaped A.J. Pierzynski for an error, Brent Morel committed his first error when he couldn’t glove [...]
September 16: Twins 8, White Sox 5
In the first inning, Paul Konerko got hit in the face by a Carl Pavano fastball, made Herm Schneider pull him back in order to wedge a wad of cotton in his nose, and stayed in the game. The next time up, he put a first-pitch Pavano fastball in the seats. The Sox, on the [...]
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 [...]
August 30: White Sox 10, Indians 6 (11 innings)
I thought this moment on the broadcast, captured while Brent Lillibridge trotted around the bases after his go-ahead solo shot with two outs in the 11th inning, summed up the events quite nicely: You have two kinds of Cleveland fans in the picture. One is devastated, and who could blame her? The Indians climbed back [...]
August 25: Orioles 4, White Sox 2
The White Sox offense hasn’t had a night like this in a while, but if it underscores how a guy like Manny Ramirez can help down the stretch, maybe some good will come of it. Mark Buehrle pitched OK, but he was no match for Brian Matusz, who allowed only a couple of hard-hit balls [...]
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 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 8: Orioles 4, White Sox 3
The White Sox couldn’t hit an Oriole starter for the third straight night. This time, it was Jeremy Guthrie holding the Sox to one run over eight innings as Baltimore pulled off another one-run victory. Guthrie kept the Sox bats in check all night. Only one leadoff hitter reached, and Mark Kotsay was stranded at [...]
