White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week Ten
Record For Week: 5-1. Record for Season: 42-20, First Place, AL Central.
The Good: There's nothing like 3 games in Coors Field against one of the worst teams in baseball to get a team jumpstarted. The Sox really only took advantage of the ultra-thin air on Wednesday with their 22-hit outburst, but kept the Rockies from jumping all over the ball which is a feat in itself. 2 out of 3 in San Diego is impressive against the top dog in the NL West. Looks like the supposed "West Coast Jinx" only applies to AL West teams. Rowand comes through in the clutch with a 3-run shot in extra time Sunday to give the Sox the win. Oh yeah, and our pitchers can hit! Believe it or not, the Pale Hose have the best road record in baseball.
The Bad: Why the hell does Konerko try to score from first in a tight game, knowing full well that whether he's out or not, the ump's gonna call him out? Dustin Hermanson gets his blown save cherry popped. Frank gets the chance to play hero yesterday and whiffs. Mark Buehrle is now the victim of 4 straight no-decisions, which must be awful irritating for a guy whose ERA has DROPPED in those past 4 starts.
Ahead: Vs. Arizona, 6/13-6/15. Vs. Los Angeles, 6/17-6/19.
Thoughts: The Snakes come to the South Side for the first time ever with their glory days of Schilling and Johnson nothing more than a distant memory. The Daaaadgers come to the South Side for the first time since the 1959 World Series, a painful memory for all old-timers out there. The weather's hot, the kiddies are out of school...let's see some big crowds packing the blue seats this week as we start the 12 game homestand.
