In a game full of emotions, poor bullpen management, and too-close-for-comfort scores, the White Sox pulled one from the Guardians as my favorite scrappy rookie, Sam Antonacci, walked it off in the bottom of the ninth for a 6-5 win. Grab your Tums and strap in for this winning recap. Things started really well for […]

It’s time to rank the top offensive tackle in the 2027 class. This is undoubtedly the most important group in the entire draft, as we all know that the trenches win football games. The 2027 draft talk won’t pick up for another couple of months, but given how hyped up this class is, we should […]

This was a Little League-ass game (complimentary enough): Against starting pitchers neither team could do much, but the Sox eventually broke through on a sixth-inning RBI double by Willson Contreras.
