From Joe Jackson to Frank Thomas, A Look at the Chicago White Sox, Both Past and Present

As the Sox battled all game long, they were set up to with the lead in the eighth inning 7-6. But before the Sox could celebrate, Esteban German hit a go ahead double to make the score 8-7 and the Royals never looked back and took the win by that score. Chicago had a roller coaster day at the plate managing to tally fifteen hits while at the same time striking out thirteen times. Five players on Chicago had a multi hit game including three from A.J. Pierzynski. Usually a formula for a victory, the Sox pitching didn’t fare so well. John Danks only lasted four innings, nine hits, and six earned runs. Still in a position to win the game, Matt Thorton was on the mound when German hit the game winning double. After losing the last two game of the series against K.C., the Sox look to rebound against the Texas Rangers as Javier Vazquez takes the mound in game one. The Sox put Jose Contreras on the 15 day DL with right elbow tendinitis.
