White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week 12
Record For Week: 4-2. Record For Season: 50-24, First Place, AL Central.
The Good: Swept the Royals. Not that big an accomplishment, but a sweep's a sweep. Bullpen did an excellent job bailing out McCarthy last Tuesday. We gave up 8 runs, but managed to score 11, proving that this team don't lie down for nobody. The long balls were just flying out of US Cellular, especially Tuesday and Friday. Garland was great on Sunday, but Prior was even greater.
The Bad: Lost 2 out of 3 to the Cubs. Now i'm forced to endure a few weeks of "you guys suck" from all the blue sheep I work with/live near...without them realizing that we just beat them 2 out of 3 in their house four short weeks ago. Oh yeah, and our record's still a lot better. Contreras fell victim to the big inning on Saturday and then settled down, much like Garcia did the week before. No ninth inning miracles this week though. It's becoming pretty clear that we can't count on Brandon McCarthy as a 5th starter just yet.
Ahead: At Detroit, 6/28-6/20. At Oakland, 7/1-7/3.
Thoughts: Lots of bad blood brewing between Ken Macha's club and the Pale Hose after the crazy games out in the Mausoleum in April. Detroit was supposed to be a contender this year, but they still pretty much suck.
