White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week 16
Record For Week: 3-4. Record For Season: 64-33, First Place 11.5 games up, AL Central.
The Good: The Sox proved that they can hang with the big dogs in earning the split with Boston. Great start by El Duque Saturday night...maybe when he plays the Red Sox he feels like it's October even when it's a bazillion degrees out. Contreras twirls his most dominating performance of the season in the series finale. Some of the best clutch hitting ever was put on display in Monday night's come from behind win. Ross Gload's back in the house, Iguchi busts his slump in a major way, and Konerko's hitting the ball well.
The Bad: Big Frank's back on the DL. The Tigers, led by Magglio Ordonez, jumped all over us all 3 nights early last week. Joe Crede's pop drop Thursday leads to a Manny Ramirez dinger. The Cell was jam-packed with Red Sawx fans all weekend and needs to be thoroughly de-loused. The Sox are on the verge of trading for AJ Burnett, who in my eyes is little more than Kerry Wood in a turquoise uniform.
Ahead: At Kansas City 7/25-7/27, At Baltimore 7/29-7/31.
Thoughts: We've beat KC all 9 times we've faced. No reason that trend can't keep up. Baltimore's a tough team who we match well with, but I'd stil be satisfied with a split.
