The White Sox couldn't stop the bleeding Wednesday, losing to the Minnesota Twins 3-2 as a giant nine-game west coast road trip looms.
It can't get any worse for the White Sox. This has to be the bottom of the seemingly endless downward spiral for the team.
The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of team-wide slump, mainly the result of an ineffective offense.
James Shields struck out nine in a four-hitter and the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1.
After a miserable start, the Tampa Bay Rays have turned things around. Leading the way on their revival has been former Chicago Cub Sam Fuld.
Starting pitcher John Danks went eight innings and only allowed one run to score. However, another collapse by the bullpen led to the White Sox losing 7-4 in the 10th inning.
The Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays are pretty much polar opposites offensively right now. So when the two teams square off at U.S. Cellular Field, the Rays will be faced with a tough task of getting their first win.
Just three games into the season, and it's the Chicago White Sox offense that's stealing most of the attention, but that's not due to under-performing starting pitching.
The Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals meet for a quick two-game series after both clubs had a very weekend at the plate.
Scoring runs was no trouble for the White Sox as they opened their 2011 season against the Cleveland Indians. Sunday, as the Southsiders were going for a sweep, sending players across home plate was scarce. Chicago's only run was scored when Paul Konerko singled in the third to send Omar Vizquel across the plate.
Wednesday, John Danks started for the White Sox as they lost to the L.A. Dodgers. Carlos Quentin homered, but Chicago struggled to make more than two runs.
Carlos Quentin had four hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs Friday to power the Chicago White Sox to an 18-1 rout of the Oakland Athletics.
John Danks didn't allow the Dodgers to score while he was on the mound Sunday. Los Angeles was only able to score one run in the seventh inning while the Sox kept the runs coming.
Mark Buehrle has been the opening day starter for the Chicago White Sox for eight of the last nine seasons, but if you ask him, this year should be the first that John Danks gets that honor.
The White Sox are on the right path if Thursday's game was any indication. The Seattle Mariners only scored one run in Thursday's exhibition game.
Offensively, the Chicago White Sox should have plenty of fire power to compete for the division title. But with a big seasons by some of the starting pitchers the White Sox could be thinking bigger.
White Sox starter John Danks is still under Sox control through the 2012 season, but several failed attempts to sign him to a contract extension have been a head-scratcher.
The Chicago White Sox were an aggressive team over the offseason, making it very clear they're focused on winning now.
Pitcher John Danks, outfielder Carlos Quentin and right-handed pitcher Tony Pena, have agreed to terms on one-year contracts with the Chicago White Sox, avoiding arbitration hearings.
