Latest news and updates about the White Sox
With tonight’s 6-2 loss, the Royals were swept by the White Sox for the first time in three years. The Royals dominated the White Sox for the past couple of seasons, but that hasn’t been the case through the first seven games of 2026. The teams split their first series of the year, in Kansas […]
Sorry everybody, but stepdad David is in charge tonight. You will not be getting a detailed preview. What I can promise you is a screengrab of the Statcast Game Preview, ice cream before dinner and no bedtime. Don’t tell your mom. Tonight it’s Anthony Kay on the mound for the White Sox, who hasn’t been […]
The Royals are back at it tonight on the South Side of Chicago versus the White Sox. Entering tonight’s contest, the Royals are 19-24 and tied for third in the American League Central. The Pale Hose, meanwhile, are 21-21 and in second place in the AL Central, just a game-and-a-half behind the inevitable Guardians. Chicago’s […]
The Royals have not been happy road warriors. Their loss to the White Sox last night ensures they will have lost six of their first seven road series, the only success being a sweep in Seattle. They are just 6-14 overall on the road, the second-worst record in baseball. The road woes have been a […]
As I write this, late at night on an irksomely chilly May 13, in a year where (like every year now) spring seems reluctant to arrive, the Chicago White Sox are a .500 ballclub. The cold, sun-shy temps can make a person think we’re just at the start of a season, where they might be […]
1907 The lead-up to the first weekend game of the new season was full of pomp and circumstance, and the White Sox celebrated their World Series win over the crosstown Cubs. But after the parade into the park, as the pennant itself was being raised, the wooden flagpole at South Side Park snapped in half. […]
The Royals are now 2-4 vs the White Sox this year, after dropping a second straight game 6-5, writes Jaylon Thompson. These aren’t your older brother’s White Sox. During the previous two seasons, the Royals won 22 of 26 games against the South Siders. But things have changed now. The White Sox beat the Royals […]
The kids are alright, and the South Siders are somehow sitting at .500. On a chilly Wednesday at Rate Field, the White Sox outlasted the Royals, 6-5, riding a Colson Montgomery missile and just enough bullpen duct tape to keep the fanbase from collective despair. Noah Schultz spent the first three innings playing surgeon. Seventeen […]
If you were categorizing where the Royals were struggling the most this season, you would probably go with on the road, hitting with runners in scoring position, and against left-handed pitching. All three of those problems arose again today in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox, though the team fought and kept themselves in […]
After a tough loss on the South Side last night, the boys in blue are back at it again this evening. Game two of the series is very important if they want to get back home with an even record or better on this road trip. This might be the most favorable pitching matchup of […]
Chicago gets a shot at .500 tonight as the rookie Noah Schultz takes the hill for the Sox. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo, a veteran righty who’s seen it all. Schultz is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA and a WHIP that’s not exactly sparkling. His last start? A tire fire: seven runs, seven hits, […]
1957 White Sox pitcher Billy Pierce became the first member of the team (and the first Chicago athlete) to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, with the headline “Pride of Chicago.” In 1957, the year the magazine cover came out, Pierce went 20-12 with a 3.26 ERA. It was his second straight 20-win season, and he led the league […]
Salvador Perez moves closer to capturing the Kansas City Royals’ home run franchise record with his first-inning slam against the Chicago White Sox. Royals fans get a decent update on southpaw Cole Ragans’ recovery after he hit the 15-day IL once again. Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Ragans (elbow) played catch two of […]
Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights 6 Things looked good at first as Rikuu Nishida cracked a leadoff double, scooted to third on a routine grounder, and then watched as three straight Knights worked walks to force in the opener. Oliver Dunn followed with a laser to right, clearing the bases for a 3-0 jumpstart. Unfortunately, […]
Timely hitting and some clutch home runs helped propel the White Sox (20-21) to their third straight win, defeating the Royals (19-23), 6-5. Four of the seven South Side hits were for extra bases, with three dingers and a double, including two clutch bombs that both took the lead at different points in the game. […]
It’s time for baseball! After a Monday off day, the Royals are in Chicago to play the White Sox. Stephen Kolek is back for another start, in place of the injured Cole Ragans. While it stinks for Ragans, it is nice to see Kolek get some more chances, as he has looked pretty good so […]
The South Siders have won three of their last four series and will finally be playing a division opponent as they kick off a three-game set against the Royals. Not having competed against an AL Central team since they split a four-game series in Kansas City last month, the Good Guys have a chance to […]
The three-year streak of 100+ losses in a season may be coming to an end for the White Sox. They have won 8 of their last 12 and are flirting with .500, just 1.5 games behind first place Cleveland. They have found a few young productive hitters, as well as perhaps the best free agent […]
The White Sox had a week that could very well be described as average, as they did in fact go 3-3. A closer look of the lost series to the Angels and the series victory against the Mariners will tell you a story of midweek missed opportunity capped on either end with quite the dominant […]
1904 Future Hall-of-Famer Ed Walsh made his White Sox debut, pitching in relief. It happened in Philadelphia, during a 9-3 loss to the A’s. Walsh threw one inning, giving up two hits and a run. 1915 Red Faber threw a complete game win at Comiskey Park vs. Washington, 4-1. So what? Well, it was Faber’s sixth […]
Good morning! A frustrating 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox last night saw a Logan Gilbert gem erased in the eighth inning, and a lack of Mariner run support gave Chicago the series win. George Kirby will take the mound tonight at 5:10 PM in a new four-game series against the Houston Astros. The […]
On Saturday, May 9, five members of our South Side Sox staff had the opportunity to attend the first-ever “Gameday for the Girls” event hosted by the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field. A huge thank you goes out to the White Sox organization for inviting us to be part of an evening dedicated to […]

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Charlotte Knights 1Though they still split the series, the Knights (19-20) once again fell one game worse than .500 as the Jumbo Shrimp (20-19) shut Charlotte down, 6-1. Lefthander Shane Murphy made his second start with the Knights since being promoted to Triple-A last week, and unfortunately gave up four runs […]
Eduard Bazardo yielded the two runs the Chicago White Sox needed to beat the Seattle Mariners today. His 1-2 breaking ball to veteran OF Randal Grichuk floated over the heart of the plate like a miscategorized deluxe roll of conveyer belt sushi on the cheapest designated plate. Grichuk’s solo shot tied things at 1-1 in […]
