From yesterday:
The White Sox played one of their best games of the season after a pair of duds Monday and Tuesday, beating Baltimore 8-1. Adam Dunn hit a three-run double off lefty Troy Patton, A.J. Pierzynski hit home run No. 4 and Alejandro De Aza hit dinger No. 3, Gordon Beckham had two hits and Jake Peavy struck out eight in seven innings of one-run ball.
Seeing Beckham get two hits -- even if the second of them was a weak infield single -- was good, since he entered Wednesday with just three on the season. Frank Thomas broke down Beckham's swing for us in a frame-by-frame analysis.
Steve Stone hopped on Chicago Tribune Live to discuss the state of the White Sox:
Jim looks at how some problems from 2011 have carried over into 2012 even with a new manager while James weighed in on Ventura as well.
Around the division: Things aren't looking good for Francisco Liriano, Grady Sizemore is slowly working toward a return, Jeanmar Gomez is getting a five-game suspension, Doug Fister had a setback in his recovery and the Royals lost their seventh straight game.
