Latest news and updates about the White Sox
If this felt like a game the White Sox had no business winning, that’s because for most of the afternoon, they didn’t. And then, in the end, they did anyway. The Good Guys walked it off in extras, 3-2, completing the sweep of the Angels. Chicago finished the month with 13 wins. That’s not exactly […]
In response to the fever that has broken out all over the South Side, our friends at BreakingT have come up with a nifty little design celebrating the awesomeness of slugger Munetaka Murakami: You gotta admit, it’s a pretty impossibly clever design, with the moon “O” and a bit of a nod to silent film […]
The Chicago White Sox are back at it this afternoon, looking to finish off a sweep against the Los Angeles Angels after a pair of wins to start the series. Following Monday’s comeback and a solid 5-2 victory on Tuesday, the South Siders suddenly have a chance to stack three straight and keep a little […]

The South Side can’t escape its reputation in the national media — including the lazy and inaccurate assumption that the White Sox have and will always play second fiddle to the Cubs — no matter how well they play. On Tuesday morning, the latest in a long line of slights was revealed, as The Athletic […]
1901 Shortstop Frank Shugart hit the first home run in White Sox history. It came in the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to Detroit, off of future South Side starter Frank Owen. Ironically, the 1901 season was the only one Shugart would play in, as he was banned from the sport after the year ended for punching an umpire […]
Davis Martin and the White Sox (13-17) picked up a sound win over the Los Angeles (12-19), earning Martin his fourth win of the season and the team finally taking a series win at home. The bullpen was nearly spotless, the offense mashed two home runs off one of the game’s best pitchers, and Drew […]

Gwinnett Stripers 10, Charlotte Knights 7The Knights (13-15) spent most of the evening face-down in the dirt despite a frantic late scramble. Hagen Smith looked locked in early, breezing through two before the wheels wobbled in the third. A leadoff walk turned into a two-run shot, and just like that, Charlotte was chasing. Smith settled […]
The White Sox are coming off a wild, late-night win on Monday, defeating the Angels after a long three-hour rain delay, with the game not ending until the wee hours of this morning. Ideally, for today, we can hope that the weather is much better, the game ends at a normal time, and that there’s […]
The Nats grinded out a series win against the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, taking the last 2 games of the series to bring themselves back to just 3 games under .500. A game-tying solo home run in the top of the 8th inning of Game 1 was quickly neutralized by a game-winning Sam […]
1901 Bock Baker of the Blues surrendered a record 23 singles to the White Sox, who crushed Cleveland, 13-1, at South Side Park without the assistance of an extra-base hit. Fred McMullin led Chicago with four singles, while everyone in the lineup got at least one safety. Clark Griffith threw the complete-game win, and had […]
After a three-hour rain delay, the White Sox and Angels decided to start playing tonight’s game … at 9:40 p.m. CT. Or for this writer and editor, 10:40 p.m. The game ended 35 minutes into Tuesday in Chicago, but the Good Guys somehow pulled off a massive comeback, winning 8-7. Oh, and Mune leads the […]
The White Sox will get their first look at the Angels this evening in an evenly matched series. Unfortunately, the game will be delayed by rain and additional storms coming through the area. But before the game gets rolling, some news — both good and bad. The good news: Sean Burke joined James Baldwin on […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have been a model of success for the past decade, and it’s quite clear the rest of the league has taken notice. From the Mets’ long-known courtship of David Stearns, to Craig Counsell leaving for the Cubs, to Walker McKinven going to the White Sox, and so many others, teams have been […]
For the first time this year, the White Sox have had a week that did not end with a losing record. And the first half of the week brought the first back-to-back series wins of the season. Unfortunately, however, the second half saw a return to a lack of power and run support. Going into […]

The Nats keep chugging along four steps forward, five steps back, and last game Foster Griffin shut down the White Sox. Ignore the White Sox for a moment, any chance the fancy stats say something is real here? No. Griffin has pitched a lot like Jake Irvin but his BABIP sits at .233 (abnormally low) and his LOB% at 90.3% (abnormally high) and so they aren't scoring the runs off his that they "should". He's not getting a crazy amount of GBs (could be better) or avoiding hard contact (no on...
The Reynaldo Lopez mechanics saga is, well, a saga. First, we had his diminished velocity in Spring Training due to “mechanics” rather than injury or something else that persisted, as he was throwing in the high 90s in this 2026 debut. That debut went well without Lopez pitching all that well, but he looked and […]
1902 In a 9-0 whitewashing of the St. Louis Blues, leadoff hitter Sammy Strang played the full game with no official at-bats. That anomaly occurred due to a record-setting five walks in the game. Strang became the first of just six White Sox hitters ever to walk five times in a game (the feat, in […]
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights got beaten by good pitching, plain and simple. With the 5-1 loss to the Sounds, Charlotte (13-14) is now a game under .500, which feels about right. Starter Jake Curtis got crushed in the second giving up a three-run bomb, and Nashville just kept piling on. It was […]
[Editor’s note] Due to an incorrectly constructed Google form, I don’t know whose responses are who! So enjoy this game of “Guess the Snakepitter”! LOL Except for Mak. Thanks for still putting your name, Mak. So what did the disappointing series against the White Sox tell us? Response 4: I think it says more about […]
Despite a terrific outing from Sean Burke, the White Sox couldn’t hit the ball this afternoon, collecting just four singles over 10 innings. Both teams carried zero runs into extra innings, and the White Sox fell to the Nationals, 2-1, in the 10th to collect the series loss. Bryan Hudson, who opened for Burke, had […]
While yesterday’s extra-inning loss was certainly disappointing, it left little doubt in my mind that this is indeed a different Sox team than the moribund group we’ve become accustomed to over the last few years. Noah Schultz dominated, and while the power surges of Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami have slowed down a bit, other […]
The Nats showed grit and clutch hitting in their extra inning win yesterday. That evened up the series and set up a rubber match this afternoon. This is a series both teams are going to really want to grab, so this will be a hotly contested game. For the second time this series, the White […]
