Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Now that the kerfuffle referenced in the headline is settled, I thought I’d weigh in on it. As you know, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong got into it with a White Sox fan during Sunday’s game> it happened after PCA just missed a spectacular catch in center field and sat on the field for a […]
Wow! This is being written May 18, more than a quarter of the way through the 2026 season, and the White Sox are two games over .500 for the first time since September, 2022, and better yet, they just took a series from the Evildoers of the North Side in spectacular fashion! Wow, indeed! Why […]
1904 In front of just 1,000 fans in Washington, rookie Ed Walsh tossed his first complete game and shutout, blanking the Senators, 5-0, on just two hits. The win moved Walsh to 2-0 on the season. As the season wore on, Walsh would fill a sort of “closer” role for the White Sox, starting eight […]
We have a running joke around these parts about how the Mariners and White Sox are incapable of playing a normal game with one another, but tonight’s game really stretched the bit thin. At the end of it, though, the Mariners emerged with a 6-1 victory, shaking off the doldrums of their series sweep at […]
Mariners 6, White Sox 1 Anton Chigurh: Bryan Woo, .31 WPA Anton Chinacci: Eduard Bazardo, -.18 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Whew, baby! Exhale everyone, and take the remainder of this pregame to rest on the laurels of an electric Crosstown conclusion that was almost certainly the best such series from a South Side perspective since 2021’s roller coaster three-gamer at then-Guaranteed Rate Field. That one, you might remember, was also characterized by a lopsided win […]
The Mariners played some dreadful baseball this weekend, getting swept by the Padres, and now have to face a Chicago White Sox team they just dropped a series to. My vibes, please, they are very sick. Lineups: Get called up, get to be in the lineup graphic. News: You’ve probably already seen the news about […]
We are now in the second half of May, and the White Sox are two games better than .500. No, you did not read that wrong. No, you are not dreaming. This is real life. The South Siders have been on a journey to .500 the last few weeks, and they finally accomplished the goal […]

1902 White Sox pitcher Nixey Callahan became the first player in MLB history to record five hits from the No. 9 spot in the batting order. The feat came in a 17-inning, 2-2 tie with St. Louis. For good measure, Callahan duplicated the feat less than one year later, in a 13-12 loss to the […]
Great news: Gavin Sheets is not (any longer) on the White Sox. He can’t hurt you anymore. Bad news: If you’re reading this, you’re probably going to be watching some more Mariners baseball. If you told me in January that the Mariners would be one game out of the Wild Card and just two games […]
Good morning! The Mariners suffered another tough loss to the San Diego Padres last night and will be happy to put this edition of the Vedder Cup behind them. The Chicago White Sox come to town for a three-game series as Bryan Woo takes the mound tonight at 6:40 PM against LHP Noah Schultz. In […]
You can probably guess why the headline to this recap is what it is, because, well, there aren’t many non-profane words to describe the Cubs’ 9-8 loss to the White Sox Sunday afternoon on the South Side. Two blown three-run leads. A remarkable ninth-inning comeback. And then… well, just too many home runs served up […]
Go get ‘em, Colin.
On June 9, 2008, the world’s eyes were trained on Steve Jobs as he got up on a stage to announce the release of the iPhone 3G, the first “new model year” of what we didn’t know at the time was the most important technological innovation of the 21st century. A little under three weeks […]

1912 The White Sox win their first game ever played at Fenway Park, 5-2. The matchup was the first among the early titans of the season, with the White Sox coming to Boston at 21-6 and the Red Sox in second place in the AL, at 16-8. The game didn’t turn out to look like […]
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Erick Fedde, RHP Colin Rea was going along pretty well and then the Braves torched him pretty good last Tuesday in Atlanta. But, I’d say Rea does well enough for a fifth starter type. Eats innings, and most of the time gives you a […]

Jameson Taillon has been a decent starting pitcher in MLB for a decade. Some years have been better than others; his last two were pretty good for the Cubs after a rough first season in Chicago in 2023. I’ve met him and he seems to be a good guy. I’m afraid Jamo might be past […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.
Well, well, well, if it wasn’t for those meddling Chicago Cubs and our bullpen explosion, we would have come away with a victory last night. Not even a Scooby Doo reference can dull the late innings of yesterday’s ballgame; however, the Chicago White Sox have a new game in front of them this evening, with […]
First Pitch: 6:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy The Twins aren’t actually THAT far below .500, but when a Friday night home game feels like a road trip, “core” players are being optioned to Triple-A, and the Chicago White Sox are above you in the standings, it’s hard not […]
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Davis Martin, RHP Jameson Taillon threw well in his most recent start, Sunday at Texas, allowing only one run in 5.1 innings. Best of all, he didn’t give up a long ball in that game, just the second time this year he’s done that. […]
