Well, if there's any good news about the pitching staff this week it's that Chris Sale and Jake Peavy both rebounded from poor performances in Week 19.
The bad news is that nobody else did much of anything.
Here's the latest.

Francisco Liriano had a decent week, but it would have been a lot better if his start yesterday hadn't been so mediocre.
What I find really strange about this week is that in Week 19, White Sox pitchers scored 72 points even though the team went 4-3 and opponents scored 33 runs. This week the Sox went 5-1 and allowed 23 runs, yet scored only 63 points.
The reason? Walks.
There have been too many damn walks lately, and though the Sox were able to work around them with regularity this week, that won't last forever.
So start throwing some damn strikes.
