Black Sox Blog

To date, the White Sox have played 26 series. Of those series, they’ve won 19, split two and lost five. Of the 19 series they’ve won, they’ve swept their opponents nine times. I didn’t check the other teams, but I have to assume those nine sweeps leads the league.

Freddy Garcia was awesome once again. He threw his first complete game of the season and gave up only one unearned run on five hits. Garcia struck out eight.

The big blow came in the fifth when Joe Crede hit a three run shot to put the Sox in the lead for good. The homer was his eleventh of the season.

Now the White Sox travel to Oakland to play a hot Athletics team. We didn’t do well against them when we went out there earlier in the year, so I’d be pretty happy if we walked away with two wins.
