Rewatching Game 5 of the American League Division Series is painful , even for those who don't root for the Chicago White Sox. Constantly seeing major league hitters look slow and unaware is jarring, as White Sox hitters clearly didn’t know what pitches to look for in each at-bat. Cleveland starter Gavin Williams threw more breaking stuff early in the count , getting first-pitch strikes in 11 of 16 plate appearances. Then, when it was time to throw heat, Williams, fueled by postseason adrenali...
Sure, White Sox fans are divided between the majority who consider 2026 and the possible hand from Pope Leo the greatest case of divine intervention since the parting of the Red Sea, and those who think a little more intervention in the way of actually getting hitters to put the bat on the ball in […]
In recent years, the Phillies have expressed a desire to sign a player coming to Major League Baseball from Japan. It makes sense considering the many Japanese imports who have succeeded recently. Just last season, Munetaka Murakami provided the White Sox a huge boost, while Kazuma Okamoto was a strong contributor for the Blue Jays. […]

For the first time in five years, this annual Sporcle Saturday arrives in mid-October rather than the first weekend after the regular season. While it was looking like this post might have been delayed another week, alas, all good things must come to an end .

This season provided the most quiz fodder of any season since I began posting a weekly Spor...
As the Rockies try to claw their way back to winning, there has been lots of discussion about how the organization needs to follow the example of the Chicago White Sox, who went from 102 losses in 2025 to the playoffs this season.

Who is behind the plate for the 2027 Chicago White Sox? The answer isn't as simple as one would think.
For a team predicted to bust before the first pitch on Opening Day was thrown, the Chicago White Sox managed to usurp expectations and delay disappointment until October 10, when they lost the ALDS after blowing a 2-0 series lead to the Guardians. Optimists may say that criticism can only go so far when a […]
1912 The White Sox continued their climb back into the City Series with a 7-5 win at Comiskey Park that cut the team’s deficit in the Series to 3-2. Joe Benz was the hero, with six innings of relief to earn the win but also the single that spurred the winning rally: With the Cubs […]
Ever since he changed his mind about buying the Minnesota Twins , Chicago White Sox fans have hoped that Justin Ishbia's future ownership will bring major transformation, shifting from a current operational model of a mid-to-small market team to one that acts like a major-city franchise with significant financial might. But for Ishbia, the White Sox are just one piece of his grand plan.
His vision isn't just to help the White Sox reach new heights, but to revitalize Chicago’s South Loop nei...
The White Sox became the first team ever to follow three consecutive 100-loss seasons with a playoff berth. They knocked out the Astros for their first series win in two decades in the Wild Card Series. It was an excellent season relative to expectations, though they surely feel they squandered an opportunity by failing to […]
The ALCS matchup between the Guardians and Rays has put the spotlight back on one of the most infamous trades in Cleveland baseball history — the November 2021 swap that sent Junior Caminero to Tampa Bay in exchange for right-hander Tobias Myers, who never threw a big league pitch in a Guards uniform. Myers was […]
The Cleveland Guardians have had a memorable postseason after coming back from an 0-2 deficit to defeat the Chicago White Sox in the American League Division Series. That victory has given them the opportunity to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. In all best-of-seven postseason series tied 1-1, the Game 3 winner has […]

Given that his team squandered a 2-0 lead in the ALDS to the Cleveland Guardians, Chris Getz couldn't exactly take a victory lap in his year-end media session with reporters on Wednesday, but although he acknowledged the heartbreak of being eliminated from the postseason, he still wanted to use the platform to express a (defensible) amount of satisfaction not seen from a Chicago White Sox executive in recent years.
"As a whole, it certainly stings to be eliminated from the playoffs the way t...

Munetaka Murakami stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning of Game 5 against the Cleveland Guardians.
