2008 Chicago White Sox season

March 2026 November 2013 Chicago White Sox 2008 American League Central champions Chicago White Sox.svg 150 American League Central U.S. Cellular Field Chicago, Illinois 89–74 (.546) 1st Jerry Reinsdorf Kenny Williams Ozzie Guillén CSN Chicago CSN+ WGN-TV and WGN America WCIU-TV (Ken Harrelson, Darrin Jackson) WSCR (Ed Farmer, Steve Stone) WRTO (Spanish) The 2008 Chicago White Sox season was the organization's 109th season in Chicago and 108th in the American League. The White Sox won the American League Central title for the first time since 2005. They finished the regular season tied with the Minnesota Twins (88–74) and won a one-game playoff for the division title. They subsequently lost the 2008 American League Division Series to Tampa Bay Rays. Individual highlights for the White Sox included the breakout season of offseason acquisition Carlos Quentin and the strong rookie season of infielder Alexei Ramírez. Gavin Floyd nearly threw a no-hitter against the Minnesota Twins on May 6, broken up by Joe Mauer's double in the ninth inning. The White Sox set a new home record at U.S. Cellular Field of 54–28 (.658 pct.) breaking the 2003 home record of 51–30 (.629 pct.). Offseason Finishing fourth in the American League Central division coupled with having both MLB's lowest batting average and on-base percentage in 2007 prompted the White Sox to make numerous transactions, particularly with West Coast teams, to improve their lineup.

Two coaching staff changes were made, with the hiring of Pittsburgh Pirates third base coach Jeff Cox and bullpen coach Juan Nieves. Cox replaces Razor Shines, while Nieves replaces Art Kusnyer. Regular season and post season March/April Record: 14–13 On April 13 against the Detroit Tigers, the Sox hit two grand slams in a game, ones by Paul Konerko and Joe Crede. It was the third time in White Sox history when the team hit two grand slams in a game. The two previous times were (1) September 4, 1995, when Robin Ventura hit two grand slams at Texas and (2) May 19, 1996, when Darren Lewis and Robin Ventura each hit slams at Detroit. May Record: 16–13 On May 6 against the Minnesota Twins, Gavin Floyd took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, when Joe Mauer hit a double with one out. The only run the Sox allowed was unearned, on a sacrifice fly by Jason Kubel in the fourth inning. The Sox held on for a 6–1 victory. If Gavin Floyd had completed the no-hitter, it would have been the second of three consecutive seasons that the White Sox threw one (Mark Buehrle in 2007 as well as in 2009, which was Mark Buehrle's perfect game). June Record: 17–10 On June 5, the White Sox drafted University of Georgia SS Gordon Beckham with the eighth overall pick. July Record: 13–12 On July 31, at the trading deadline, the White Sox traded relief pitcher Nick Masset and minor leaguer second baseman Danny Richar for Ken Griffey Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds. August Record: 17–11 On August 5 against the Detroit Tigers, in the top of the 14th inning, the Tigers scored two runs via a two-run home run by Plácido Polanco, which made it 8–6. In the bottom of the 14th, the Sox came back with four runs: Jermaine Dye reached base on an error, and the Nick Swisher hit a walk-off three-run homer, making the final score it 10–8. On August 14 against the Kansas City Royals, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramírez, and Juan Uribe hit consecutive home runs in the sixth inning. This was the first time the White Sox hit four consecutive home runs in an inning, and just sixth time in MLB history (the first since the Boston Red Sox did it on April 22, 2007). The Sox swept the Royals with the final score of 9–2. September Record: 12–15 The Sox faced three different teams in three consecutive games, which was just the third time this had happened in MLB history (the White Sox and Cleveland Indians each having done so in September 2000). The Sox won all three games: (1) the regularly scheduled season finale against the Cleveland Indians, (2) a game against the Detroit Tigers that had been rescheduled from earlier in the month due to rain, and (3) the tiebreaker game against the Minnesota Twins. Having won, they then faced a fourth team in their next game to begin the playoffs. September was the team's first month with a losing record in the season. The month was highlighted with the AL Central tie-breaker game, which took place at U.S. Cellular Field on September 30 vs. the Minnesota Twins. It was Game 163 of the regular season. The White Sox organization called on the fans who attended the game to wear all black. There was almost 100% participation in what the White Sox called "the blackout game." The White Sox won the game 1–0. October Record: 1–3 The 2008 playoffs saw the White Sox square off with the Tampa Bay Rays in a matchup of the second and third seeds. The White Sox started Javier Vázquez in Game 1. Rays rookie Evan Longoria hit two home runs in a 6–4 win for Tampa. Mark Buehrle started Game 2, which saw the White Sox unable to hold an early lead, eventually losing 6–4. For Games 3 and 4, the series moved to Chicago. The Sox took Game 3 by the score of 5–3, with John Danks getting the victory. The Chicago crowd continued the new "blackout" tradition, but the Rays proved to be too much for the Sox in Game 4, winning 6-2 and taking the series 3 games to 1.
