White Sox allow 20 runs in the first game of double header

And it's still not a team record for futility. In the last 50 years, the Sox have allowed 20 or more runs in a game 3 times; they gave up 20 runs in the second game of the 1998 season in Texas, 21 runs in the first game of a double header with the Red Sox on 8/30/70, and the debacle today.

Using Bill James' game score, Garland's poor start (-11) was the worst of the last 50 years by a White Sox pitcher. Poking through the invaluable Baseball-Reference Play Index, we can see that there have been only 22 other starts in the last 50 years in which the starting pitcher gave up 12 or more runs. Jon Garland and Jason Marquis appear twice on the list which includes Minnesota closer Joe Nathan.

Looking at the date
Jon Garland is the first pitcher to surrender 12 runs in a start since ......

Jon Garland did it September 25th of 2006.

Jason Marquis, who had the last 12-run game before garland, also did it twice in a row.

The hits just keep coming
In the last 50 years, a team has scored 14 and lost 22 times. The last team to do it -- you guessed it -- the White Sox, the Arnie Munoz debacle.

Again, Ozzie never
leaves starters in too long.  He always takes them out AFTER the severe damage is done, whether that is one batter or one pitch.

I understand he needs the bullpen for Game 2, but Garland should've came out before the IBB to Hunter.

BP's Will Caroll: Elijah Dukes to the White Sox?
[Will Carroll]
rumors of Elijah Dukes to the White Sox, which is at least entertaining.

From Will Carroll?
I'm still waiting for his Pete Rose reinstatement story to come true.

Contreras + Iguchi + $$$ for Hudson
I'd do it but I don't think there's a chance in hell Byrnes would, unless the Sox are eating at least half of Contreras' contract.

Also, maybe this is wrong of me, but I'm starting to get intrigued by Danny Richar.  After a 2-for-4 night, he's raised his batting average to .338 (with Charlotte) and his overall line this season to about .295/.355/.515.  If he finishes the season with a line simiar to the above one, second base is probably Richar's job to lose for 2008.  In fact, I think he and Gonzalez could form a prety good platoon in 2008.

not for hudson they wouldn't
but with smoltz on the DL (with that discomfort he's been feeling in his shoulder for quite a while now), they could require some pitching help.

plus, i'm not all that enamored by hudson - especially at the price tag of $26 million over the next two years.

Yeaaah. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and provide me with an official press release on that. OK? Great.

Robothal: Buehrle on the move?
[Ken Rosenthal]
The stalemate in the White Sox's negotiations with left-hander Mark Buehrle is fueling industry speculation that Sox general manager Ken Williams will soon trade the pitcher.

"I get that sense from talking to people and from the (White Sox's) response to us, but it's hard to tell -- Kenny loves disinformation," says an executive from an interested club.

Another executive flatly predicts a trade, saying White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf won't give in to Buehrle's desire for a full no-trade clause -- and that Buehrle is just as stubborn.
