What a terrible job by the White Sox bullpen on Wednesday night as they allowed the Yankees to score five runs in the seventh and eighth innings and go onto beat the Sox by the score of 5-1. The Sox just can’t give up those kind of runs late in the game if they want to make it into the playoffs.

Scott Linebrink was charged with three hits and three runs including one home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Mike MacDougal also allowed one run in the game on a wild pitch. Clayton Richard was the starting pitcher and he lasted 6 2/3 innings while giving up five hits and two rns. Richard took the loss in the game even though he didn’t pitch that bad at all.

Jermaine Dye had the only rbi for the sox. Dye grounded out in the third inning that plated Orlando Cabrera for the first and only sox run. Just not any offense on Wednesday night.

Everyone better hope for a Twins loss against the Indians now!

In the night cap, Jim Thome hit a solo home run in the sixth inning for the game winning run. The White Sox also got rbi from Ken Griffey Jr. who had a rbi double in the fourth inning. The other two runs that the Sox scored came on a balk and a error.

Clayton Richard tossed six innings and gave up six hits and three runs to get the win for the Sox. Richard even his record for the season at 2-2 with the victory. Octavio Dotel, Matt Thornton, and Bobby Jenks all tossed one inning of reliefe and all three did a great job. Jenks recorded his 26th save of the season in the game.

The Sox are up a half game on the Twins who are out playing against the Seattle Mariners on the West coast. Let’s all hope for a Twins loss!

The Chicago White Sox finished up a three game series against the Texas Rangers in dramatic fashion as they came from behind to beat the Rangers 10-8.  It was a big three run home run in the 8th inning by Carlos Quentin that was the game winner for the White Sox.  They were down 8-7 until Quentin went deep for his 26th home run.

The 8th winning home run wasn’t Quentin’s only home run in the game however as he also hit a solo shot in the 5th inning.  Jim Thome had three rbi as he got the White Sox on the scoreboard with a three run blast in the first inning.  Orlando Caberea, Jermaine Dye, and Alexei Ramirez all chipped in with one rbi each as well.

White Sox starting pitcher Clayton Richard was rocked for seven hits and five runs in only four innings of action.  Richard struckout seven batters in only four innings but also gave up a home run and walked one batter.  D.J. Carrasco gave up one run while Boone Logan gave up two runs in relief of Richard.  Finally Octavio Dotel and Bobby Jenks were able to get things under control as the White Sox held on for the win.

Dotel ended up getting the win and is now 4-4 while Jenks picked up the save which was his 19th.  It was nice to see Jenks come in and pick up the save as he rejoined the team off the disabled list.
