Today in White Sox History: July 25

1954 In the first game of a twin bill at Boston, White Sox pitcher Jack Harshman set the franchise record by striking out 16 Red Sox. Harshman, a converted first baseman, was taught a “slip pitch” (a variation of a palm ball) by manager Paul Richards. Harshman got the win, 5-2. At the time, Harshman’s 16 Ks were two shy […]

Astros Place Spencer Arrighetti On 15-Day IL

Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti is heading to the injured list with right foot nerve irritation, the team announced. Reliever Bryan King is heading back to the big-league squad to take his spot. Arrighetti was pulled from yesterday’s outing after an erratic first inning. The White Sox sent all nine hitters to the plate and pushed […]

Chicago Cubs Lineup (7/25/26): PCA Continues Assault on NL, Imanaga Faces Skenes

The Cubs snuck one out last night in the series opener, which was even bigger because the Brewers, Cardinals, and Phillies all lost last night. Given the way this team has been carried by its offense, grinding out a win after getting just one run in the first nine innings was very important. It doesn’t … The post Chicago Cubs Lineup (7/25/26): PCA Continues Assault on NL, Imanaga Faces Skenes appeared first on .

Patrick Kane issues warning after leaving Red Wings to sign with Blackhawks

Patrick Kane's return to Chicago is about much more than nostalgia. A huge moment for the Blackhawks. Patrick Kane is officially back where his legendary NHL career began. After spending the last three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings , the veteran forward has returned to the Chicago Blackhawks, the franchise that selected him with the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft. The reunion immediately became one of the biggest stories of the NHL offseason. Kane built his Hall of Fame r...

Matt Shaw Could Resume Swinging Soon, James Triantos Staying Present as Deadline Looms

We know the Cubs are in the market for pitching help, both in the rotation and the bullpen, as the trade deadline approaches. We also know that they’ve got a pool of young, versatile position players from which to deal. Some pursuits may be stifled by the dearth of impact arms in the organization, hence … The post Matt Shaw Could Resume Swinging Soon, James Triantos Staying Present as Deadline Looms appeared first on .

Cubs trade target: Emerson Hancock

This is the second in an occasional series about starting pitchers the Cubs might want to target in a trade. I didn’t expect to write this one, but from the same Ken Rosenthal/Will Sammon article in The Athletic that mentioned Reid Detmers, who I profiled yesterday, they also mention Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock: In their […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Doug Drabek

Good news: the Yankees acquired a future Cy Young Award winner as the Player To Be Named Later in a deal in 1984 that sent their 31-year-old veteran first baseman to the Chicago White Sox. Bad news: the Yankees traded said Cy Young winner away long before he won the greatest accolade of his career. […]

Sporcle Saturday: Catchers with 10+ home runs

Good morning! With the unfortunate news of Kyle Teel's injury, the White Sox also lost perhaps their best shot at a catcher providing ten home runs for them on the season. No doubt this was front of mind for many of you when the news broke. As we sit entering Friday's slate of games, though, Drew Romo has five dingers and Edgar Quero has just two. Teel in 78 games last season socked eight home runs, so he really did seem up to the task of getting to double digits. Alas. The post Sporcle Sa...
