John Danks Keeps White Sox Rolling
John Danks picked up right where Mark Buehrle left on Thursday, pitching 7+ innings of zero walk shutout baseball. He didn't allow a Royals baserunner to reach second base until the 6h inning when he gave up back-to-back singles. On the CSN post game Chuck Garfien opined that Zack Greinke might...
Mark Buehrle Makes It Look Easy
Sometimes you don't need to play your best baseball to keep a streak going. Mark Buehrle wasn't too sharp in the early innings Thursday, and the Sox offense didn't have a hit until the 4th, but the Royals did what the Royals do to keep the Sox hanging around. The Royals erased singles in each of...
Contreras & Castro Combine To Topple Tribe
White Sox roll to season-high 5-game win streak, 2 games over .500 Hey, guys! Come look! Quick! I can see first place from up here! Jose Contreras continued his surprising return with another strong 8-inning performance Wednesday night. He's gone 8 innings in all of his victories this season, all 3...
Jose Contreras Is (on his way to) History
The White Sox have now lost their last 8 games started by Jose Contreras, a streak which started before the All-Star break last season with a 22-hit loss to the Matt Harrison-led Rangers. It's the longest such streak since... the Sox lost 9 straight Contreras starts in '07. But that streak...
A Little More on J.J. Hardy Streakiness
I promised to total up the numbers on the before and after portions of J.J. Hardy's streaks a last week in this post. I took Hardy's 5 streaks of more than 5 games in a row reaching base two or more times and found his total slash line during these hot streaks. Last time, I showed the five weeks...
White Sox' Pitching Holds Indians Under a Dozen
The scoreboard in right field read KC - 6, MIN - 0. John Danks was pitching well enough, and the Sox clung to a slim 4-3 lead. The door was open for the Sox to step right back into control of the AL Central race. But a tough start to the 5th inning for John Danks, and a bullpen that refuses to...
I Heart Joe Blow
The White Sox were one out away from losing yet another well pitched game thanks to the usual script; lack of hitting with RISP and an amzingly effective reliever giving up an inopportune extra-inning homer. And I was one out away from skipping this recap. A guy can't take a 5-day break,...
Are The Sox Poised To Take Division in June?
One of my favorite memories of my life as a White Sox fan is lucking into front row walk-up tickets following the famous undefeated 7-game Indians/Yankees road trip in 2000. My brother and I chanted along with 40+K Sox fans as Kip Wells out-dueled Bartolo Colon, pitching probably his best game in a...
Kansas City: The Cure For What Ails Ya
Jose Contreras continued his resurgence with 7 innings of solid work against the slumpbusting Royals. He allowed only one run, and that was largely thanks to the questionable decision to go with a Contreras-Toby Hall battery that is just begging to be run on. The offense did their part with a 4-run...
8
After the 2005 season, 8-game winning streaks feel a little more special. The Sox put together 4 separate 8-game streaks that year, with the last one culminating in a pile of World Series champions on the Houston infield. So running their winning streak to 8 holds a little more meaning, at least...
