Chicago White Sox Weekly Rewind: Week 21
Record For Week: 4-2. Record For Season: 79-48. First place by 8 games, AL Central.
The Good: All of a sudden, this team can hit again. Best of all, they can hit when the chips are down as evidenced with Friday night's 12-inning marathon. Greatest American Hero Brian Anderson belts 2 jacks on Friday. Dye and Everett decide to be hot for at least a few games. One of the best defensive plays by any team all season goes on display Saturday when the Dye-Iguchi-Pierzynski triumvirate mows down Ichiro at the plate. Hermanson nails down 3 games in a row. Bobby Jenks gets his first major league save. Timo Perez earns the Mr. Clutch moniker yet again. Buehrle and Garland post solid starts and snap their personal losing streaks. Freddy Garcia throws a one-hitter.
The Bad: Freddy Garcia loses said one-hitter and then follows up with his worst outing of the season next time around. When he's not hitting in a clutch situation, Timo Perez pretty much sucks. Jenks struggles a bit Saturday with the pressure on in Seattle Saturday.
Ahead: At Texas, 8/29-8/31. Vs. Detroit, 9/1-9/3.
Thoughts: Texas is a vastly different team from when we last faced them (and got whipped by them) in May. Hopefully with Podsednik back in the lineup tonight, our smartball mojo will be in full effect.
