From Joe Jackson to Frank Thomas, A Look at the Chicago White Sox, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
After being dominated by the Oakland pitching staff, the Sox offense got back into a groove and powered the club past the A’s 6-1. Three home runs by the Sox lineup helped to put some runs on the board. Alexei Ramirez, Brian Anderson and Nick Swisher all belted a home run for the team. Ramirez had a great day going three for three, with two runs scored. Gavin Floyd pitched a stellar game lasting seven and two-thirds innings and only giving up three hits, three walks, six strikeouts and no runs against a good Oakland offense. After Floyd was finished the Sox bullpen came in and held on to win the game even though Scott Linebrink gave up a solo home run in the ninth. John Danks takes the mound against the undefeated Rich Harden today as the Sox try to be the first to beat Harden and end the series on a winning note.

Do you think Chicago will make any major moves before the deadline?
What is their confidence is holding off Minnesota or Detroit?

I do not believe that the Sox will make any major moves before the deadline, other than maybe another relief pitcher or a solid utility man. The Sox are feeling pretty good about their situation in the AL Central, of course they have to remain focused with Minnesota right on their heels and the Detroit can be seen as a sleeping giant and hopefully for the Sox’ sake they do not wake up. Chicago hopes to keep rolling for these last few series and head into the All-Star break with a few game lead in the division.
