It’s not a good sign when I check WhiteSox.com to see who we’re playing and who’s pitching and still think, “We’re probably gonna lose.” Sadly that’s my thought process lately because this team has almost no offensive production. Saturday night was no different when the Sox lost to the Angels, 3-2. » Continue reading “Lack of Run Support Dooms White Sox”

It isn’t often the closer of a team is used to get the final four outs, but that is exactly what the Sox did tonight in their 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. The game started out with not a lot going on in the game offensively for either team. The Blue Jays did get on the board in the bottom of the first inning via the old-fashioned get ‘em on, get ‘em over, and get ‘em in.
The Jays would add their second and final run in the third inning. Again with the basic formula. The Sox would come roaring back in the fifth inning however and score all of their runs. They would also do it without a long ball as well. In the process, AJ Pierzynski extended his hitting streak to 15 games. Who knew he could do what he has been doing as an old man of 35? » Continue reading “Four-out Save For Addison Reed? Four-out Save For Addison Reed!”

Two of the first three games on the nine-game homestand have been won. Another home series win. And sending the Angels away with a series loss? What more can you ask for from the White Sox after a 4-2 win over the Angels today?
No extra innings for the guys today as they took are of business in nine innings. It took until the fifth inning before someone broke through and scored a run. Sadly, it was the Angels who would do it. However, given how how the Sox have played lately, it wasn’t something that was insurmountable for the Sox. They would tie the game up in the sixth inning and after letting the Angels get ahead in the seventh, AJ Pierzynski would come to the rescue in the bottom of the inning. » Continue reading “Round 2 Goes To White Sox”
