Sox Best Jays

The White Sox took two out of three over the Blue Jays this Easter weekend, and this means the Pale Hose have won their last two series.

Friday nights game was ugly as the Sox jumped out to an early 5-2 lead, only to relinquish it falling 13-7. On Saturday. Mark Buerle allowed just two earned runs while Paul Konerko cracked two taters to win 5-2. Today's contest was a 6-4 rain shortened affair which saw Freddy Garcia allow 4 earned runs to score in a rain soaked fifth inning.

What does it mean?- This means the Sox have pitched better in each of the last two games. Buehrle was masterful, and Garcia's 4 earned runs were due mostly to the wet conditions on the field. Prior to the fifth, Garcia had shut the Blue Jays down.

This is probably the most important thing to happen to the team this year. The pitching has been the biggest question mark because the bullpen has been atrocious. In the past two games, the starting pitching has taken the pressure off of the bullpen by pitching well. This is critical for the White Sox to return to the playoffs. The starting five needs to start pitching at least six innings in every ballgame.
