The Chicago White Sox had problems on Monday night in the Big Apple as they took on the New York Yankees. The Sox were doubled up as they lost the game by the score of 4-2. This sure was a tough loss for the White Sox as they are in a playoff battle with the Minnesota Twins.

Mark Buehrle got the start for the sox and lasted six innings. He did give up six hits and two runs including one home run. Ehren Wassermann and Horacio Ramirez both gave up one run in relief as they allowed the Yankees to win the game.

Dewayne Wise provided the only offense for the sox as he hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning to tie the game.

Tough loss for the Sox and they now need to pick up a win on Tuesday.

After being swept in a double header on Tuesday, the Chicago White Sox responded with a win on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The White Sox scored three runs in the sixth inning and then held off the Blue Jays for a 6-5 victory.

Mark Buehrle was the starting pitcher for the White Sox and he picked up the win after throwing 7 1/3 innings. Buehrle did give up seven hits but struck out six and only allowed one run to score. It was a very good quality start for Buehrle who dueled with Roy Halladay. Octavio Dotel was charged with one run in the eighth inning, and then Bobby Jenks came in and allowed three outs in the ninth inning.

A.J. Pierzynski led the sox at the plate with three rbi. A.J. had a rbi single and then a two run double in the game. Jim Thome, Jerry Owens, and Brian Anderson all chipped in with one rbi each as well. It was a good showing for the offense against Halladay who usually shuts down the opposition.

The Chicago White Sox are back in first place after they blew out the Seattle Mariners 13-5 on Monday night. 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.

The Chicago White Sox were going for the three game sweep against the Kansas City Royals with Mark Buehrle on the mound but they were unable to get the sweep as they lost a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning and went onto lose the game by the score of 4-1.  It was definately not the way most White Sox fans seen this game turning out.

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.

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.

Everything was rolling the way it should for the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.  The White Sox got eight strong innings out of Mark Buehrle and then put eight runs on the scoreboard to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 8-2.  The White Sox are now up 2-0 in the three game series.

Buehrle pitched eight innings and only gave up four hits and two runs.  It was a very good outing by Buehrle who finally got some run support and a victory.  He is now 4-6 on the season.  Bobby Jenks came in and pitched the ninth inning to get some work done and after giving up a lead off single got two groundballs that ended the game.

Toby Hall, Carlos Quentin, and Brian Anderson all hit home runs for the White Sox.  Hall’s was a two run home run while the other two were solo shots.  Hall and Nick Swisher finished the game with two rbi.  Quentin, Anderson, and Jim Thome had one rbi in the game as the White Sox got a lot of productivity out of the lineup.

So now can the White Sox get the sweep with a victory on Thursday?  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Octavio Dotel gave up a solo home run to Miguel Cabrera in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1.  Thursday’s loss to the Tigers was the third straight loss for the White Sox as they were swept in the three game series.  It seems the White Sox play good for a week, and then go into a little slump like they just did.  They just seem to keep the good things rolling.

Dotel took the loss as he gave up the homer in the ninth inning and is now 3-3 on the season.  White Sox starting pitcher Mark Buehrle pitched eight innings and only allowed seven hits and one run in the game.  Buehrle got a no decision, but could have easily earned a win had there been any run support from the offense.

Jermaine Dye had a sacrafice fly in the second inning but that was the only run we seen by the White Sox offense on Thursday.  More times then not, you are going to lose when you only score one run in the game.

The White Sox will now start a interleague series against the Colorado Rockies on Friday.

Carlos Quentin led the White Sox at the plate as he had two rbi in the game.  Quentin had a rbi groundout in the first inning and then a rbi single in the eighth inning.  Jermaine Dye also had a rbi single in the eighth inning for the White Sox.

White Sox starting pitcher Mark Buehrle tossed seven strong inning while only giving up two hits and one run.  It is really a shame that he came away in the game with a no decision.  Scott Linebrink pitched the eighth inning as he picked up the win which was his first of the season.  Bobby Jenks pitched a scoreless ninth inning to get his 12th save of the season.

Great series for the White Sox as the really moved up in the standing.  They will try to continue the good baseball on Friday when they begin a series with the Los Angeles Angels.

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.
