John Danks Smokes Best Team in AL
With a name like John Danks, it's only fitting that opposing hitters left the batter's box in a haze Tuesday night. Danks was dealing from the very first pitch. It's cliche to say a guy had "no-hit stuff" -- especially when there's a considerable amount of luck involved in any no-hitter -- but...
Carlos Quentin Leads Offensive Explosion
That will even things up a bit. The struggling White Sox offense finally broke the seal on the run-scoring machine, ringing up 15 hits and 11 runs. I'm not going to read anything into the fact that the offensive outburst coincided with the first night that the chronic slow-starter Alexei Ramirez...
White Sox Stop Road Skid Against Boo Jays
Man, did the White Sox really need that one. The difference between 3-4 and 2-5 feels much larger than it actually is. At one game under .500, it feels like the White Sox are right where we thought they'd be, whereas at 2-5 it feels like they have to play well for a week just to scratch their way...
John Danks Wants to Complete Season
John Danks threw a complete game, and the Sox youngsters provided him enough run support. Yep, that's your recap.
Jake Peavy Knows The Secrets to Sucess
For a game that helped the Twins more than the officially-eliminated-from-playoff-contention White Sox, that was a thoroughly satisfying game. We all got a little glimpse of next season: Jake Peavy breezed through 7 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out 8. The only ball that was hit with...
Daniel Hudson Is Gonna Be Good
Not since Gordon Beckham's Girl-Approved Hair has a White Sox rookie shown such promise in his initial trial while failing to fill up the box score. Daniel Hudson may have taken the loss Monday. He might have continued the Curse of #54 with a routine throwing error to first base. But he showed a...
Gavin Floyd Tweaks Hip, White Sox Still Seeking Level
I don't know how Gavin Floyd even made it through three innings. I mean I know he was trying to gut through a minor (?) injury, but what's the point? And where was AJ, or Ozzie or Herm? It was clear to me (even in my inebriated state) that he was uncomfortable on the mound in the first, though it...
White Hot White Sox Streaking Back To .500
Hold onto your hats White Sox fans, the Chisox are not done yet. With an exciting extra-innings victory over the Athletics Wednesday, the Sox, winners of 7 of their last 9, pull withing 6.5 games of the lackluster Detroit Tigers. And just wait until Jake Peavy joins the rotation... HAHAHA I...
Major League Rulebook Bars Bobby Jenks From Pitching in Non-Save Situation
That has to be the answer, right? I mean there's no way Ozzie Guillen would allow Scott Linebrink, who he recently removed from the "set-up" role, to pitch in the 9th inning of a tie game. Then follow Linebrink's improbable 1-2-3 scoreless inning with a call on Randy Williams to face not just...
Alexei Ramirez Helps John Danks Remember How To Win
John Danks did not deserve to lose this game, but for much of the night that's where it looked like he was headed. He walked one and struck out 8 over 8 innings pitched but left the mound trailing 1-0, thanks to, you guessed it, a pitcher the White Sox have never seen before. It was a typical Sox...
