2007 State of the Sox

Week in a Box: May 21-27

Player of the Week:  Jim Thome.  It's good to have the big guy back, and I'm sure the improving Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye feel the same way.

Player of the Weak:  Tadahito Iguchi.  The offensive surge happened without any contributions from the Emperor, but he began to pick it up by the end of the week.

Pitcher of the Week:  John Danks.  It's nice to see him survive without his best stuff. 

Pitcher of the Weak:  Mark Buehrle.  That intentional HBP will go down as one of the dumbest decisions of the season.  Fortunately his offense bailed him out.

Fireman of the Week:  Bobby Jenks.  Pitched beautifully in a non-save situation against the Devil Rays and ended up picking up the win.

Gas Can of the Week:  Mike MacDougal.  Awful, awful, awful.

Super Sub of the Week:  Luis Terrero.  Had two excellent starts and one bad one; his 442-foot homer was a sight to behold.

Super Scrub of the Week:  Nobody.  Everybody on the bench did what Ozzie Guillen should expect from them.

Gold Glove:  Darin Erstad.  His diving stab at first against the Devil Rays saved the lead.

Hands of Stone:  Rob Mackowiak.  His spaz attack in left on a routine line drive was downright ugly.
