Now there was an exciting game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians.  After the White Sox gave up the lead in the top of the 10th inning, the Sox came back to score two runs in the bottom of the inning and pick up the 3-2 victory over the Indians.  The White Sox will now go for the three game sweep on Wednesday.

Alexei Ramirez delieved the huge hit with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning as he went deep to tie the game at 2-2.  Orlando Cabrera then singled to score Dewayne Wise for the game winning run.  Before the heroics in the 10th inning, the only White Sox run was in the second inning when Ramirez hit a sac fly that scored Jim Thome.

Adam Russell ended up picking up the victory in relief to improve his record to 1-0 on the year.  White Sox starting pitcher John Danks pitched good as he lasted eight innings.  Danks only gave up four hits and one run in the game as he got the no decision.  Matt Thornton was the White Sox reliever that gave up the go ahead run for the Indians in the 10th inning to Casey Blake.  Luckily for Thornton and the White Sox, Ramirez and Cabrera pulled through for the team in the bottom of the inning.

So do you think the Sox will sweep the Indians on Wedneday?  Leave us a comment and let us know!

The Chicago White Sox got a good start by John Danks as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 to finish up their three game series on Thursday afternoon.  With the victory by Danks and the White Sox, the Sox took two out of three games against the Dodgers.

Danks pitched six innings and only gave up four hits and zero runs.  Danks lowered his era to 2.62 in the game as he picked up the victory and improved his record to 5-4.  Matt Thornton and Octavio Dotel combined to pitch a scoreless seventh inning and then Scott Linebrink threw a scoreless inning in the eighth inning.  Bobby Jenks put the nail in the coffin for the Dodgers in the ninth inning and picked up his 17th save of the season.

The White Sox got runs in the second and third innings and that was all that they needed to get the victory.  Alexei Ramirez went 2-4 with one rbi which came in the second inning when he singled and Jermaine Dye scored.  In the third inning, Carlos Quentin singled to score Orlando Cabrera.

It was a good win for the Sox who will now flyback to Chicago and take on the Cubs tomorrow afternoon.  The White Sox have some payback on their mind so it will be interesting to see how they come out and play against the Cubs who just lost two out of three games to the Orioles.

The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers have now both one game in the their three game series.  It was the Dodgers shutting out the White Sox 5-0 on Wednesday night to pick up their first win of the series.  The White Sox were limited to four hits and also had three errors in the game.  Right there you can tell why they lost the game.

Gavin Floyd took the loss for the White Sox and is now 8-4 on the season.  Floyd gave up six hits five runs (four earned), two walks, and also struck out two batters.  Matt Thornton, Nick Masset, and Boone Logan pitched the final 2 2/3 innings without giving up a hit or run.

Alexei Ramirez had two hits while A.J. Pierzynski and Jermaine Dye both had one hit.  That was all the offense that the White Sox had in the game.   They will have to come out and swing the bat a lot better if they want to beat the Doders on Thursday and win this series.

Mark Buehrle pitched eight strong innings and the Chicago White Sox were able to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 and snap their road losing streak.  Buehrle was dominate in the game as he only allowed six hits and one run, (which was a home run) while striking out two.  Buehrle is now 5-6 on the season.

Scott Linebrink pitched ninth inning and had no problems at all.  The White Sox didn’t need to use closer Bobby Jenks as they were up five runs in the ninth inning.

Jermaine Dye had a two run home run to lead the White Sox at the plate.  Dye took Derek Lowe deep in the eighth inning.  Nick Swisher, Dewayne Wise, and Alexei Ramirez all had one rbi in the game as well.

Good win for the White Sox on the road as they beat a quality Dodger team.  And any time you beat Lowe you are doing some good things at the plate.  The White Sox will try to go up 2-0 in the series on Wednesday night.

The Chicago White Sox finished off the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 13-8 victory on Thursday afternoon.  With the nice 13-8 win, the White Sox swept the Pirates in their three game interleage series.  I don’t think Pittsburgh will ever want to come back to Chicago the way they have gotten beat by the White Sox and the Cubs.

Gavin Floyd earned the win for the White Sox and is now 8-3.  Floyd didn’t have his best stuff but it was enough to pitch  5 2/3 innings.  Floyd allowed six hits and seven runs in the game.  He did allow one home run while striking out six batters and walking two.

Matt Thornton, Octavio Dotel, and Scott Linebrink all pitched well after Floyd left the game.  However in the ninth inning, relief pitcher Adam Russell gave up two hits and one run before finally getting the last out of the game.

Jermaine Dye went 3-6 with two home runs and six rbi to lead the White Sox at the plate.  It was a monster performance out of Dye as you can see with his six rbi and two home runs.  Orlando Cabrera also swung a good bat as he had a three run home run and a sacrafice fly to finish with four rbi in the game.  Jim Thome, Pablo Ozuna, and Alexei Ramirez all finished the game with one rbi each.

Good hitting, and just enough pitching got the White Sox past the Pirates.  Now they can sit back and relax until tomorrow afternoon when they start up the heated rivalry with the Cubs.  The Cubs do have to fly back to Chicago after their game tonight with the Tampa Bay Rays so they just might be a little tired tomorrow afternoon.

The Chicago White Sox put on a show Tuesday night as they erupted for four home runs and scored 16 runs as they blew out the Pittsburgh Pirates 16-5.  It was a great showing my the White Sox offense as they kept pressure on the Pirates pitchers all night long and was able to score off all four of them.

Orlando Cabrera, Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome, and Joe Crede all had three rbi each in the game.  All four of those players had a home run in the game as well.  Alexei Ramirez finished the game with two rbi while Carlos Quentin and Nick Swisher finished with one rbi each.

Getting the win for the White Sox was Javier Vazquez who pitched six innings giving up five hits and five runs.  Vazquez didn’t have his best stuff working but it was good enough to improve his record to 7-5 on the season.  Octavio Dotel, Nick Masset, and Adam Russell all threw a scoreless inning of relief after Vazquez left the game.

Let’s see if the White Sox can keep the momentum going when they face off against the Pirates once again on Wednesday.

Ehren Wassermann, Boone Logan, Octavio Dotel, and Matt Thornton all seen action out of the bullpen for the White Sox.  The bullpen did not allow a run to cross the plate, as they stopped the bleeding.  To bad they were already in a huge hole to try to come back from.

At the plate Juan Uribe and Joe Crede both had two rbi in the game.   Pablo Ozuna, A.J. Pierzynski, and Alexei Ramirez all had one rbi each to finish out the game.  Orlando Cabrera had a terrible game as he left seven guys on base and went 1-5.
