The Chicago White Sox finished off the Kansas City Royals in a three game sweep with 9-2 victory on Thursday afternoon. 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.

Jim Thome singled in A.J. Pierzynski for the go ahead run in the top of the ninth inning as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 to salvage a sweep in the series.  Thome delivered a single off of Angels closer Francisco Rodriquez.  Maybe this will get Thome out his slump that he has been in lately.

Three other White Sox batters had a rbi in the game besides Thome.  Orlando Cabrera, Juan Uribe, and Pierzynski all had a rbi at the plate.

Octavio Dotel ended up getting the win which improved his record to 2-2 on the season and Bobby Jenks recorded the save which was his eighth. Starting pitcher Javier Vazquez tossed 6 2/3 innings while allowing nine hits and three runs.

The White Sox will now begin a series with the San Francisco Giants.  White Sox Blog

Mark Buehrle was roughed up for ten hits and eight runs (six earned) on Monday night as the Chicago White Sox lost to the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 10-7.  Buehrle was only able to throw 5 2/3 innings before having to be taken out of the ballgame.  Buehrle is now 1-5 on the season.

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.

For the second time in his career, Gavin Floyd nearly tossed a no hitter.  Floyd pitched 8 1/3 innings and only gave up one hit which came in the ninth inning with one out.  Joe Mauer hit a double to break up the no hit bid.

Floyd still picked up the win and improved to 3-1 on the season.  Bobby Jenks came into the game to get the last two outs and didn’t have any problems with that.  It was funny watching Ozzie Guillen get booed as walked out to the mound to take Floyd out of the game.  But those booes quickly turned to screaming for Floyd as he exited the game.

Jermaine Dye connected for a solo home run in the sixth inning for the White Sox.  Dye also had a RBI in the first inning as he had two total RBI in the game.  Carlos Quentin also had two RBI and Joe Crede and Juan Uribe both had one RBI.

The White Sox are now 15-16 on the season as they look to make a run to get over the .500 mark.

The Chicago White Sox only managed four hits against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night as they lost 1-0.  Matt Stairs hit a home run in the seventh inning off of Javier Vazquez for the lone run in the game.  I wonder how Ozzie is going to react to the media after his blowup this morning and then losing a close game like this lol.

Vasquez did toss 7 2/3 inning in the game while giving up the one run.  He did allow eight hits while striking out nine batters.  One mistake cost Vasquez and the White Sox tonight.

Juan Uribe had two of the White Sox hits in the game while Jim Thome and Toby Hall both had one hit each.  Bad performance by the White Sox hitters in the game.  Maybe it is time to take some extra batting practice or something…  They did mount a little rally in the ninth inning as they walked three times but struggled once again as they couldn’t push across one run to tie 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 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.
