Worst White Sox Opening Days

Posted by Chris J. on April 1, 2008

Yesterday, Mark Buehrle had a miserable start to the season.  Cleveland tagged him for 7 runs (all earned) off of 7 hits and a walk in 1.2 IP.  (In his defense, half the outs were strikeouts).  That's a lousy game score of 13.

Is that the worst game score a Sox Opening Day starter has had since 1956?

Nope.  It was second worst.  The only worse performance in terms of game score came . . . . last year.  D'OH!

    So Buehrle has the second worst and second best. "What immortal hand or eye, is found within the old P-I?"
