White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week Nine
Record For Week: 4-2. Record For Season: 37-19, First Place, AL Central
The Good: Frank's back, and he was greeted with a rousing ovation Monday. And Tuesday. And every other day. He's making contact and hitting the ball hard, plus he's not running funny. Konerko is looking a little better, and Jermaine Dye is looking a lot better. Carl Everett gets a start in LF and looks sharp. Pitching continues to rule the day...El Duque and Garland both don't bring their best stuff against Cleveland, but still manage to be effective and notch the Ws.
The Bad: Frank's back, and the Big Hurt is already opening his Big Yap about not getting enough playing time. Everett's been hot the past few games and it's awful tough to put him on the bench. The Sox still can't break games open with runners in scoring position. The bullpen's got more ups (Cotts, Politte) and downs (Vizcaino, Marte) than the crude oil market. Hermanson's scoreless innings streak comes to an end..and now he's given up runs 3 outings in a row.
Ahead: At Colorado, 6/6-6/8. At San Diego, 6/10-6/12.
Thoughts: Colorado sucks in much the same way as Kansas City and Tampa Bay do, which is a guarantee that we'll have a tough time beating them. Then again, maybe our still-anemic offense needs a trip to the thin air to wake up. San Diego just got thrashed by the Chubs, and are going to be out for blood. Meanwhile, the Twins are just 3.5 games back, and get to play Arizona and San Fran.
