White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week Eleven
Record For Week: 4-2. Record For Season: 46-22. First Place, AL Central.
The Good: After 2 straight thumpings at the hands of the D'backs, the Sox find themselves with their backs against the wall last Wednesday and respond by having their first double-digit innning of the year. Sweeping the Dodgers exorcises the demons of 1959. (God, I sound like a freakin Cub fan) Podsednik comes out swinging Friday night and keys the win. AJ shows the real reason we picked him up with the ultra-clutch walk-off jack Saturday. The 1959 unis, complete with striped socks and baggy bloused trousers look awesome in person. Buehrle dominant on Friday. Freddy overcomes shitting the bed in the early going Saturday to keep the game close. Politte kicks ass out of the bullpen. Willie Harris gets a rare start at second on Sunday and makes the most of it both offensively and defensively.
The Bad: The Cubans have just been rotten at worst and mediorce at best their past couple times out, and now the fragile thoroughbred that is El Duque is heading to the DL again, forcing the Great White Hope that is Brandon McCarthy to take the hill at home for the first time. Garland was shaky on Wednesday night.
Ahead: Vs. Kansas City, 6/20-6-22. Vs. Chicago National League Ballclub, 6/24-6/26.
Thoughts: KC is hot, but still sorely overmatched especially without Mike Sweeney in the lineup. Cubs-Sox games at the Cell are always a drunken misadventure for yours truly...here's hoping that with the hot start the number of blue sheep in attendance is minimal.
