Chicago White Sox Baseball Blog » Jermaine Dye http://www.whitesoxhomeplate.com A blog about White Sox Baseball Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:57:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 White Sox beat the Tigers and now await the Twins http://www.whitesoxhomeplate.com/white-sox-beat-the-tigers-and-now-await-the-twins/ http://www.whitesoxhomeplate.com/white-sox-beat-the-tigers-and-now-await-the-twins/#comments Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:17:10 +0000 FiskFan89 http://www.whitesoxhomeplate.com/?p=67 The Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers in a must win on Monday afternoon and they will now await the MInnesota Twins for a one game playoff game on Tuesday night. The winner of the White Sox and Twins game will move onto the 2008 playoffs where they will take on the Tampa Bay Rays.

Alexei Ramirez was the mvp of the game on Monday afternoon as he hit a grand slam in the in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie. The Sox then added on a couple of more runs in the eighth inning for insurance. Ramirez’s grand slam was his fourth of the year and it set a rookie record for grand slams in a season.

Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski both had one rbi each as well for the Sox.

Gavin Floyd was the winning pitcher as he tossed six innings. Floyd gave up five hits and two runs while striking out eight batters. Floyd did exactly what the White Sox were hoping for in the must win game. Now the Sox will be hoping for the same from John Danks as he takes the mound on Tuesday night against the Twins.

The game sold out very fast on Ticketmaster this evening so if you want to goto the game you will probably have to buy off of StubHub and then pick up at their office or buy some ticketfast tickets via ebay etc. Do want you need to get to the game however, as the Sox need our support to get another win and advance to the playoffs!

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!

To make things even worse, the Minnesota Twins won earlier in the day so they picked up a full game in the standings. Hopefully the Sox will bounce back and have a good series against Boston this weekend.

John Danks got the start on the mound against the Orioles and was rocked in his four innings of action. Danks gave up seven hits and four runs while walking three batters. Lance Broadway came in after Danks was taken out and he pitched the next four innings but was charged with four more runs and nine hits as he struggled as well. It was not a good night for Danks or Broadway that is for sure.

At the plate, the Sox hit two solo home runs as Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye both hit solo shots. The other run came on a Jim Thome single that scored A.J. Pierzynski.

The Sox need to have a huge weekend against the Red Sox if they want to stay on top of the Twins.

With the win and the Twins losing to the A’s 3-2, the White Sox find themselves back in first place and they hope to stay there the rest of the season.

The White Sox offense got going in the second inning when they scored three runs. Paul Konerko had a rbi single which was then followed by a Nick Swisher two run home run. The sox would not score again until the fifth inning when they would push across six runs. Orlando Cabrera had a two run home run and then Jermaine Dye added a two run double. Dye’s double was followed up by rbi singles from Swisher and Alexei Ramirez. Ramirez wasn’t done at the plate however as he added a three run home run in the seventh inning. Carlos Quentin then went deep in the eighth inning for the sox final run of the game.

Mark Buehrle improved to 11-10 on the year as he pitched 5 2/3 innings to get the win. Buehrle didn’t throw the ball that good as he gave up 11 hits and five runs. Luckily for him, the offense had the bats going to score enough runs so it really didn’t matter. D.J. Carrasco and Horacio Ramirez pitched the final 3 1/3 innings to hold the Mariners at five runs.

The sox used a six run sixth inning when they hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs and blew the game wide open. The four home runs were all hammered hard as the Sox really got the bats going and said bye bye to the Royals.

Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez, and Juan Uribe were the four plays to hit home runs in the sixth inning. Thome finished the game with three total rbi while Jermaine Dye chipped in with two runs batted in.  It a great showing by the offense in the game and we can only hope that it will continue over into the weekend series against the Oakland A’s.

Lance Broadway pitched 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win and is now 1-0 on the year. Broadway gave up five hits and two runs but kep the team in the game until the offense came to the rescure in the sixth inning. Horacio Ramirez, D.J. Carrasco, and Adam Russell all threw out of the bullpen and they all did a good job.

The sox just need to keep on winning and things will take care of themselves. I like their chances this weekend out in Oakland so hopefully after the weekend the team will be up in the division by a couple of games over the Twins.

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.

The White Sox will have a big series this weekend against the Detroit Tigers. Hopefully you can catch some of the games!  White Sox Baseball

Buehrle tossed 7 1/3 innings and gave up six hits and two runs to take the loss.  Buehrle is now 6-8 on the year.  That is one dissappointing loss for the White Sox and Buehrle as they had things going good up until the bottom of that eighth inning.  After Buehrle was charged with two runs, Octavio Dotel gave up a rbi double and was taken out of the game.  Boone Logan then came in and gave up a two run inside the park home run to Mark Teahen.  One of those runs was charged to Dotel and the other to Logan.

I can’t put all the blame on the bullpen because the White Sox offense struggled against the Royals pitching staff.  The only run for the White Sox came in the fourth inning when Jermaine Dye hit a solo home run.  The White Sox struck out 10 times and left 12 runners on base so right there is why they only scored one run and lost the game.

The White Sox still took two out of three on the road against the Royals so you can’t be to upset.  They will now start a three game series against the Texas Rangers on Friday.

Pierzynski took Masa Kobayashi deep in the bottom of the tenth inning and the White Sox defeated the Indians by the score of 6-5.

The walk off shot was Pierzynski’s second home run of the game as he also had a solo shot in the first inning.  Jermaine Dye also had a solo home run in the first inning.   Brian Anderson had a two run double in the seventh inning and Nick Swisher also had a rbi single in the second inning for the White Sox.

Adam Russell picked up the win and is now 2-0.  Russell had the chance to get the win after Scott Linebrink blew the save in the ninth inning when he gave up a home run to Grady Sizemore that tied the game at 5-5.  Jose Contreras pitched six innings and gave up six hits and four runs including one home run.  Contreras struck out six batters while walking four as he got the no decision in the game.

The White Sox will now open up a four game series with the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.

Nick Swisher hit two home runs and finished the game with five rbi for the White Sox.  Swisher has now hit 11 home runs in season.  Jim Thome also hit a home run which was a three run shot in the first inning.  Jermaine Dye didn’t want to be left out and also had one rbi in the game.  I like the fact that the White Sox were able to keep a lot of pressure on the Indians through out the game.  Anytime you do that, you are going to score a lot of runs and more then likely going to win.

Gavin Floyd tossed six innings and pitched well enough to get the win and improve his record to 9-4.  Floyd gave up seven hits and let four runs cross the plate while walking two and striking out ten batters.

Nick Masset was charged with three runs in the ninth inning other then that the bullpen did a pretty good job.    Octavio Dotel pitched one scoreless inning before Masset sucked it up in 1 2/3 innings of action.  Matt Thornton gave up one hit and let a run score (run was charged to Masset) before recording the final out of the game.

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.
