After the sweep at the hands of the Padres last weekend, the Mariners managed to get things back on track a bit with a series win over the White Sox. Seattle hasn’t won back-to-back series since going 5-1 on their road trip at the end of April. They’ve been mired in an unfortunate rut, unable […]
Today’s roster move: Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Astros lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Spencer Arrighetti, RHP Maybe we should just pretend Jameson Taillon’s last start didn’t happen. Oh, you can’t do that. Right. So: Five home runs and eight runs given up to the White Sox. Don’t do that again, Jamo. Taillon has also had […]
The White Sox spent a little bit in the offseason and acquired a fun player from Japan who has slugged the franchise back into relevance. As fun as it has been to see that the literal Pope of the Roman Catholic church is a White Sox fan, Munetaka Murakami’s fast rise in 2026 has dragged […]
1926 With a single in his first at-bat, Earl Sheely ran his hot streak to 10-of-13, one of just seven such stretches in White Sox history. Of his 10 hits, Sheely had four singles, five doubles and a home run. 1928 Center fielder Johnny Mostil tied former White Sox center fielder Happy Felsch with an […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants return to the bay this weekend for a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. So let’s take a look at what Oracle Park has on deck for fans who might be thinking about attending. Friday night will be a Special Event for Japanese Heritage Night! Fans […]
Gwinnett Stripers 7, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (24-24) handed Gwinnett more than enough opportunities, and the Stripers made them pay. Between eight walks, shaky command from Hagen Smith, and another rough night with runners in scoring position, Charlotte dropped a game that felt winnable for about seven frames before it slipped away for good. Walks, […]
The Crosstown Classic is not for the faint of heart. It doesn’t matter which team is winning more coming into the games, or which team has the better roster on the field. There is something about the North Side v. Southside that just inspires a whole other level of competition between the Cubs and White […]
Welcome back to our Discussion series. With an off-day to sit and ponder, today’s question focuses on the people who live and die with every pitch: what are the best and worst traits of our fan base? South Siders are a cocktail of loyalty, humor, pure stubbornness, and survival instinct. This bunch has survived more […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners got a much-needed win against the White Sox yesterday, powering their way to a 5-4 series finale victory. The team has the day off today as they travel to Kansas City for a three-game weekend series. Jhonny Pereda was the breakout star of last night’s contest with his go-ahead solo […]
1905 Frank Smith tossed a one-hitter, the first of his career and fifth in White Sox history. The proceedings didn’t begin as a Smith masterpiece, as the righty actually trailed in the game after walking Senators leadoff man Charlie Jones, Jones sacrificed to second by Hunter Hill, then driven home on a Jake Stahl (with […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3By beating Gwinnett (26-21) to take a 2-0 series lead, the Knights (24-23) joined the White Sox in the above-.500 club. Knights starter David Sandlin, 25, struck out seven and only allowed one run in four innings. The White Sox acquired Sandlin in the trade involving Gage Ziehl and Jordan […]
The White Sox spent the afternoon tripping over their own shoelaces. They outhit Seattle 11-7 but still dropped the rubber match. Eleven strikeouts, 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position, nine left on base. All that traffic, and nothing to show for it. It was the kind of game that keeps rebuilding clubs awake at night […]
Mariners 5, White Sox 4 Enjoying a baseball game with your family: Jhonny Pereda, +0.24 WPAA drunk 20-something whipping you in the back of his head with a sweaty shirt: Josh Naylor, -0.15 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
J.P. Crawford was a late scratch before Wednesday’s series finale against the White Sox, as the triceps issue stemming from a hit by pitch in the last series with the Padres continues to bother him. Pregame he was seen pointing out the sore area to Cole Young, playfully poking the young second baseman in the […]
The White Sox go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026. Sean Burke draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of […]
1920 At Griffith Stadium in Washington, the White Sox set the team record for the most runs ever scored in an extra inning. In the 16th inning, they were able to score eight times to beat the Senators, 13-5. The Senators made nine errors on the day, leading to nine unearned runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Red […]
Good morning everyone, and happy Wednesday! The Mariner bats couldn’t string together hits at the right time in last night’s 2-1 loss to the White Sox. People will surely be arguing about Dan Wilson’s decision to leave Luis Castillo in for the ninth for weeks to come, too. Generally speaking, are you more worried about […]
After the high of last night’s win, the vibes went right back to terrible today despite the presence of hundreds of shirtless fans in the upper deck providing energy into an otherwise sleepy Tuesday, cheering on the dual start of Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t get the message, as once again […]
Just when you’re sure the letdown is coming, they find a way to keep doing it. After dropping a sleepy one last night, the White Sox were on the verge of dropping another sleepy one in Seattle this evening, trailing 1-0 from the moment the game opened all the way until they had just two […]
White Sox 2, Mariners 1 My mood when I volunteered to do the chart in the eighth inning: Bryce Miller, +0.30 WPAMy mood now: Andres Muñoz, -0.56 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
Charlotte Knights 5, Gwinnett Stripers 4The Knights (23-23) blasted their way to an early five-run cushion, then survived a late Gwinnett rally for a close win thanks to another shutdown appearance from Ben Peoples. Jonathan Cannon turned in a solid start despite some wild command, allowing just one run over five innings while working around […]
The Mariners defeated the White Sox yesterday thanks largely to a strong performance from Bryan Woo and just enough offense against White Sox lefty starter Noah Schultz before Colt Emerson broke the game wide open, but they’ll face another challenge today with Anthony Kay on the mound. Last time these two teams faced off, the […]
Now that everyone has had a day to settle, and the adrenaline from the wild swings of the Crosstown Cup’s first leg has mostly subsided, it’s time to get back to thinking about what our expectations should be for this South Side team moving forward. For the first time in however many years, I now […]
Until last night’s win over the White Sox featuring Colt Emerson’s first MLB hit and home run, the vibes were pretty bad in Mariners-ville. And that was before Cal Raleigh hit the Injured List. As Cal himself and many others have said, “Obliques are tricky.” What should the Mariners do while Cal is out? Mitch […]
As quickly as spring came and went, the White Sox leapt from horrendous to… fun? I’m not talking fun in the lovable loser type of way that the North Siders affectionately refer to their tribe, and not in the way a little league parent earnestly cheers for their kid, knowing they’re about to do a […]
