For those of you who hate bunting, tonight’s victory had to be sweet. The Sox and Orioles were tied at 2 in the seventh when A.J. Pierzynski reached with a leadoff single. Ozzie Guillen called for Alexei Ramirez to bunt. He fouled off two of them, and then went down swinging on a Jeremy Guthrie [...]
August 7: White Sox 4, Orioles 2
Bullets! *Gavin Floyd evened his season record to .500 by picking up his eighth win thanks to late-inning heroics by Alex Rios, who singled home Juan Pierre to give the Sox their first lead of the game in the eighth inning. *Floyd overcame early trouble. He gave up his first homer in 12 starts when [...]
August 1: White Sox 4, A’s 1
Gavin Floyd and Gio Gonzalez started today with a combined perfect game, retiring the first 27 batters they saw. The Sox finally got to Gonzalez in the bottom of the fifth, and the A’s did the same to Floyd in the top of the sixth. Fortunately, the Sox made theirs hurt a little more, and [...]
July 27: White Sox 11, Mariners 0
Bullet points only seem fitting for how hard they hit Ryan Rowland-Smith: *The Sox jumped on Rowland-Smith for all 11 runs over five innings, including three homers. He was clearly out there to take a beating after allowing seven runs over the first three. *It started with a Juan Pierre single, a stolen base, an [...]
July 21: Mariners 2, White Sox 1 (11 innings)
This one hurts. The White Sox and Gavin Floyd outlasted a dominant Felix Hernandez, getting a scoreless game into extra innings. They did so by using only Sergio Santos and Erick Threets in high-leverage situations. They did so by getting terrific defense and horrific baserunning from the Mariners. They finally got on the board with [...]
July 10: White Sox 5, Royals 1
The Sox stuck with the same formula that’s been working so beautifully for them over the last six weeks, supporting a strong start with a continual stream of offense. As a result, the White Sox won their seventh straight game, and Gavin Floyd picked up his third straight win. Floyd was tremendous over 7 1/3 [...]
July 5: White Sox 9, Angels 2
If Carlos Quentin isn’t back to full strength, then tonight was a hell of a tease. He took a run off the board with an incredible diving, rolling catch on the warning track in the first inning, and then put three on the board for the Sox with two blasts to left field. The Sox [...]
June 24: White Sox 2, Braves 0
For the third straight start, Gavin Floyd pitched a nearly perfect game. For the third straight time, Floyd not receive the win. But hey — for the second straight time, at least the Sox came away with the win, and it came courtesy of a late Paul Konerko homer. The White Sox extended their winning [...]
June 18: White Sox 2, Nationals 1 (11 innings)
Everybody expected Steven Strasburg to eat the White Sox alive, and he lived up to the billing. Not everybody expected Gavin Floyd to outlast him, but that’s exactly what he did. Floyd’s eight strong innings allowed the game to move into a battle of the bullpens, and White Sox relievers reigned supreme tonight. Juan Pierre [...]
June 13: Cubs 1, White Sox 0
From boring to intriguing to exciting to depressing to relieving to exhilarating to frustrating. That’s the way this one went. Gavin Floyd and Ted Lilly took twin no-hitters into the seventh as this game became a lazy fly-off. Herm Schneider provided the most excitement over the first two-thirds of this one, when he came out [...]
