White Sox Rewind: Week One
Record for the Week: 4-2. Season: 4-2.
Good: Mark Buehrle's gutty performance at the opener last Monday, walking away on the upside of a 1-0 ballgame. El Duque dazzles the Twins on Friday and Jon Garland overcomes a case of the pukies to walk away a winner Saturday. Taking 2 out of 3 in the Baggiedome is a seldom-occurring good thing. Carl Everett spraying the ball in all directions. Paul Konerko hitting home runs like, well...Paul Konerko. Ninth inning rally last Wednersday thanks to back-to-back blasts. Neal Cotts working setup.
Bad: Rotten bullpen management by the Ozzman in last Thursday's nightmare loss to Cleveland. Shingo's pitch selection. Joe Crede's offense. Joe Crede's defense. Whiffing 14 times on a nationally televised game.
Ahead: At Cleveland, 4/11, 4/13-14. Vs. Seattle, 4/15-4/17.
Thoughts: Cleveland, while improved over last year, still isn't as great as the pundits would have you believe. Seattle is off to a slow start, but Ichiro always has our number.
