The Chicago White Sox are wishing that last nights game would have got rained out instead of being played as they got hammered by the Minnesota Twins by the score of 12-1.  The loss was Chicago’s seventh in eight games, and Mark Buehrle hasn’t won in more than a month.

Buehrle only lated 5 2/3 innings as he gave up nine hits and seven runs in the loss.  Buehrle got hit hard and often as he put the White Sox in a big hole early in the game.  Ehren Wassermann gave up five more runs and Nick Masset gave up one run as they pitched in relief for the White Sox.

The White Sox only run came in the ninth inning when Jermaine Dye connected on a solo home run off Livan Hernandez.  Other then that the White Sox were terrible at the plate.  The top of the lineup was a combined 0-9 in the game.

The Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics played in a low scoring chilly ballgame on Monday night and the Athletics came out on top by the score of 2-1. Mark Buehrle was outdueled by Greg Smith in the game.

Buehrle did pitch seven innings giving up nine hits and two earned runs.  He pitched well enough to win the game, the bats for the White Sox just weren’t giving him any run support.  Buehrle’s record now drops to 1-1 on the season.

Pretty much the only offense for the White Sox was an RBI ground out by Jim Thome in the 6th inning.  Other then that, the White Sox did nothing on offense.
