Sox Seeing Double

Today was the doubleheader from hell for the Chicago White Sox. First off, the White Sox had to go out against Josh Beckett who is one of the best starting pitchers in the game. To add on to the White Sox's Misery, they are pretty much in last in every offensive category you can think of. so put one and one together, All-Star pitcher against one of the worst offensive teams in the league equals win. Beckett started off shakey, giving up a double, three walks, and eventually walking in a run, but the Sox ace stayed composed and got his league leading 16th win of the season.

The second game of the doubleheader was not nearly as straight forward. You had a 41 year old pitcher that has not been doing so great the past couple of starts. Luckly even Schilling can pitch well against a horrible offense. The Schilmeister only gave up one run in hist outing leading to his 8th win of the season. This win also gave me hope that the old Curt Schilling who could control his fastball is back.

Up Next: Wakefield vs. Buehrle. This should easily be the best pitching matchup of the series. Look for Wake to take advantage of the Chicago offense. Also look for the left specialist, Javy Lopez, to come in during the late innings and shut down the lefty hitters.
