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.

The Chicago White Sox have picked up their first win in the 2008 season as they defeated the Cleveland Indians 2-1 on Thursday afternoon.  The White Sox held the Indians to only two hits, the first coming in the 6th inning.

John Danks pitched a great game for the White Sox as he lasted 6.2 innings.  He did get the no decision however as Octavio Dotel picked up the win and Bobby Jenks picked up the save.  Great job by the pitching staff today.

It was two solo homeruns that scored the White Sox runs today.  Joe Crede and Juan Uribe both connected for solo shots.

The White Sox now travel to Detroit to take on the Tigers.  This will be a tough series for the White Sox, lets hope they can pick up atleast two wins in Detroit.

The Chicago White Sox lost their first spring training game as they lost to the Colorado Rockies 7-3.  The White Sox pitching staff could not stop Matt Holliday and Troy Tulowitzki as they led the Rockies to the victory.

John Danks looked pretty solid on the pitching mound as he started the game and pitched two innings.  He did serve up a long homerun to Tulowitzki but other then that he looked pretty sharp.  He will really be counted on to help out the White Sox this season, and so far I like what I see.

The two teams meet again on Thursday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field, with Jose Contreras and Aaron Cook getting the starts.
