The Chicago White Sox lost another close game to the Minnesota Twins as they lost 4-3 on Wednesday afternoon.  The White Sox really need to get back on track after losing the last two games to the Twins.  The White Sox are now 14-12 on the season and if they don’t turn things around soon, thye are going to find themselves under .500 in my opinion.

Starting pitcher Nick Masset went four innings in the game and gave up five hits and three runs.  Masset got the no decision in the game.  Ehren Wassermann ended up pitching only .1 of an inning as he gave up the game winning run in the seventh inning to the Twins to take the loss.

Carlos Quentin had a solo home run in the fourth inning for the White Sox for their big hit on the day.  Jim Thome did get the Sox on the board first however with a RBI double in the first inning.  In the fifth inning, Nick Swisher picked up a RBI on a single to right field.

The White Sox will be off on Thursday and then will start a series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.

The White Sox had one bad inning, and that one inning the Minnesota Twins scored three runs to beat the White Sox 3-1.  The Twins put a three spot on the board in the fourth inning, and the White Sox just couldn’t answer.

Gavin Floyd took the loss for the White Sox as he pitched six innings.  Floyd gave up five hits and three runs.  A two run home run and a sacrafice fly was all Floyd gave up, but the offense couldn’t pick him up in the game as the struggled.

The only run for the White Sox came in the seventh inning when Joe Crede hit a solo home run.  The home run was Crede’s seventh of the season.  The White Sox struggled at the plate and that is all we can blog about for tonights game.

Joe Crede delivered the game winning hit that gave the Chicago White Sox a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night.  Crede singled to center field off Joba Chamberlain in the bottom of the ninth inning that scored Carlos Quentin from second base.

Besides Crede’s one RBI, six other White Sox hitters contributed with an RBI each.  Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Jermaine Dye, A.J. Pierzynski, Alexei Ramirez, and Quentin all had a RBI in the game.  Thome’s RBI came on a solo home run in the fifth inning.

Bobby Jenks picked up the win for the White Sox as he recorded the final two outs in the ninth inning.  Gavin Floyd had started for the White Sox and pitched six innings as he gave up five hits and five runs.  Floyd struckout four batters but also walked four batters.  Matt Thornton was the only White Sox relief pitcher to give up a run in the game.

The Chicago White Sox were leading the New York Yankees heading into the seventh inning but Jose Contreras ran into trouble and the Yankees score four runs on a grand slam and eventually went onto beat the White Sox 9-5.  The White Sox gave up three home runs in the game as the pitchers couldn’t keep the ball in the park.

Contreras pitched 6.1 innings as he gave up seven hits and four earned runs.  He was cruising until that seventh inning.  Boone Logan, Octavio Dotel, and Matt Thornton let another four runs cross the plate as they pitched in relief of Contreras.

Juan Uribe had two RBI for the White Sox.  A.J. Pierzynski, Paul Konerko, and Joe Crede all had one RBI each as well.  Pierzynski’s RBI came off a solo home run in the ninth inning.

The Chicago White Sox shut out the Tampa Bay Rays 6-0 on Sunday putting Chicago at 11-7 for the season.  Chicago got the scoring off to an early start with runs in the first inning and didn’t let up the offense or defense throughout the entire game to hold Tampa Bay to no runs and only four hits.

The Chicago White Sox started John Danks to get things rolling and kept him in for seven full innings.  Boone Logan was brought in to close the game giving up only 1 hit in the final two innings of the game.

Jim Thome got his fifth home run of the season and his fourth double also putting him up to 16 RBIs.  But he wasn’t the only White Sox batter driving in runs.  Jermaine Dye got his first triple of the season and picked up an RBI as well.  A.J. Pierzynski picked up an RBI in the game too.

With the White Sox moving on to take on the Yankees on Tuesday at home.  Will they be able to keep the hits coming?

The Chicago White Sox blew a 5-3 lead in the ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles tied the game and then went onto win 6-5 in 10 innings.  Bobby Jenks blew the save in the ninth inning and then Boone Logan took the loss in the 10th inning.

Just a terrible way to end the game for the White Sox.  They spoiled a nice performance by Carlos Quentin and Joe Crede who both had two RBI.

The White Sox still have a 9-6 record.  Hopefully they will learn from this game, and learn close out their next close ball game.

Jim Thome came off his one game suspension and hit a three-run home run to defeat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 3-1.  The home run came in the first inning, and the White Sox pitching staff made those three runs hold up for the White Sox ninth win of the season.

Jose Contreras picked up the win for the White Sox.  Contrereas pitched seven innings and gave up four hits and only one earned run.  Great win for Contreras who pitched very good.  Scott Linebrink pitched the eigth inning before Bobby Jenks picked up his sixth save of the season in the ninth inning.

I would have liked to see the White Sox score more runs, but give them credit for making the three runs hold up.

John Danks picked up his first win in twelve starts as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday afternoon by the score of 4-1.  Danks pitched 7.2 innings and only allowed five hits and two walks.  It was a very productive day for Danks and the White Sox.

Bobby Jenks picked up his fifth save of the season as he shut down the A’s in the 9th inning.

Carlos Quentin had the big shot for the White Sox when he hit a three-run home run in the 4th inning.  Joe Crede also recorded an RBI in the fifth inning when he singled to right-center field.

The Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics played in a low scoring chilly ballgame on Monday night and the Athletics came out on top by the score of 2-1. Mark Buehrle was outdueled by Greg Smith in the game.

Buehrle did pitch seven innings giving up nine hits and two earned runs.  He pitched well enough to win the game, the bats for the White Sox just weren’t giving him any run support.  Buehrle’s record now drops to 1-1 on the season.

Pretty much the only offense for the White Sox was an RBI ground out by Jim Thome in the 6th inning.  Other then that, the White Sox did nothing on offense.

John Danks and Nick Masset both pitched terrible for the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night as the White Sox were beaten by the Minnesota Twins 12-5.  Danks was only able to pitch 2.1 innings and he gave up seven hits and seven earned runs.  Masset wasn’t much better as he lasted lasted 3.2 innings and gave up five more earned runs.

Anytime you get in a big hole like that, your team is more then likely going to lose.  The White Sox pitchers never gave the team a shot at winning.  Hopefully they will turn things around in the next game.

The White Sox did hit three solo homeruns in the game.  Nick Swisher, Paul Konerko, and Joe Crede all went yard.  The problem was, no one was on base so it really didn’t affect the outcome of the game.   Carlos Quentin and Pablo Ozuna each had an RBI as well in the game.
