Bonemer, Banks make the All-Star team
Before getting into the only game of the day for the affiliates, Minor League Baseball announced that a pair of White Sox prospects made the All-Star team for one of the leagues they played in. Infielder Caleb Bonemer, 20, is in familiar territory, as he took home another honor. Bonemer opened the season for the […]
Petey Halpin’s three-run homer pulverizes White Sox AL Central lead hopes in 6-3 loss to Guardians
Well, these were back-to-back games that made you want to slam your head in a wall, but that’s baseball, right? In a game that traded leads a couple of times — including an absolutely ridiculous, three-run homer from Tommy Pham — Cleveland had the last laugh once again, as a four-run sixth inning gave the […]
Game Thread: White Sox (77-74) at Guardians (77-75)
It’s been a little more than 12 hours since the Guardians walked off the White Sox in yet another heartbreaking loss, but despite having their backs against the wall in the AL Central race, they still control their destiny from here on out. The Good Guys hold the tiebreaker over Cleveland after Monday’s win, but […]
In defense of the opener
Here’s a bold prediction: at some point in the next decade, we will have a pitcher who will break the record for most games started in a season. The record is currently 75, shared by Pud Galvin (1883) and Will White (1879.) Galvin threw 656 ⅓ innings, while White threw 680. The future record-holder will […]
Today in White Sox History: September 16
1904 Smack in the middle of an amazing, 45-inning scoreless streak, Doc White painted a masterpiece: a 1-0, one-hitter over the St. Louis Browns. Without play-by-play data it’s hard to know how these games played out 120 years ago. But we do know that the one hit White allowed was a Tom Jones triple, so […]
AL Central race tightens as Guardians walk-off the White Sox, 7-6
Is it really a series in Cleveland if at least one of the games does not give you a punch in the gut? Despite falling behind early in the game due to back-to-back jacks in the bottom of the first, the White Sox fought back until they were able to take the lead in the […]
Dash ride stellar Grant Umberger start to Sally title
The Winston-Salem Dash played well all season, but got hot at the perfect time, sweeping through four games over two playoff series to claim the 2026 South Atlantic League title with a 2-0 win over the Greensboro Grasshoppers on Tuesday. A stunning start from Grant Umberger — his second in two tries in these playoffs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (77-73) at Guardians (76-75)
Leave it to the White Sox to save all of the dramatics for the end of the season. The South Side offense finally came back to life in Monday’s series opener against the Guardians, allowing Chicago to not only secure a win when it severely needed, but give it the tiebreaker against Cleveland on the […]
Today in White Sox History: September 15
1901 In a doubleheader nightcap hosting Milwaukee, the White Sox hit an MLB-record five triples in the eighth inning — and three of them were consecutive! Sam Mertes, Fred Hartman and Herm McFarland started off the barrage with three three-baggers in a row, and after Frank Isbell somehow failed to triple, two more were hit […]
Magical sixth inning propels White Sox to 7-3 win
In the most critical September series in recent White Sox history, bloodshed was expected during the division duel. Maybe a few words would be exchanged, some ugly small-ball, or perhaps even a brawl harkening back to the José Ramírez-Tim Anderson scuffle. None of that happened. Instead, the Sox pocketed the series opener with a decisive […]
Game Thread: White Sox (76-73) at Guardians (76-74)
The series opener between the White Sox and Guardians will determine the AL Central. If that sounds overdramatic, perhaps you haven’t watched the last two weeks of South Side baseball. Chicago limps into this game looking to right many wrongs. In their last 10 games, they’ve lost seven and produced a -9 run differential. The […]
Today in White Sox History: September 14
1921 The 58-79 White Sox were bad, a seventh-place team in the eight-member American League. But with an 11-8 loss to the Yankees at Comiskey Park, things were about to get a lot worse, as the defeat was the first of 11 straight — ALL coming at home. The skid slid the White Sox down […]

Dash out-slug the Grasshoppers in championship opener, 15-8
Winston-Salem Dash 15, Greensboro Grasshoppers 8 — South Atlantic League Championship, Game 1It was quite an offensive game in Game 1 of the SALLY title series, as both teams combined for 19 hits and 23 runs while using seven pitchers each. But the Dash gave themselves a nine-run cushion, 9-0, after just two innings, and […]
Hitting woes continue, as White Sox drop finale in St. Louis
I am still of the belief that Colson Montgomery is going to have a long and productive big league career. I doubt that’s making him feel any better right now, after it was his fly out with the bases loaded that left the potential winning run on base and sank the White Sox closer to […]
Game Thread: White Sox (76-72) at Cardinals (73-76)
Another Sunday, another critical rubber match in what I think we can safely say is the most rear-end-clenching division race we’ve had in nearly 15 years. Perhaps 20, depending on how you feel about Robin Ventura’s debut 2012 that produced a bizarre 85 wins and a missed playoff berth after leading the division most of […]
Today in White Sox History: September 13
1923 Though the team was not contending for the pennant, the White Sox made a late move that would have terrific short- and long-term consequences: Buying center fielder Maurice Archdeacon from the Double-A Rochester Tribe in the International League, for the impressive sum of $50,000. The speedster was hitting .357 for the Tribe — and […]
South Side Sox Reacts: A Rays-Brewers World Series?
Under the free-fall circumstances of the past week, we’re just going to skip the White Sox-specific question here. You can see, and probably already have seen, the results of last week’s poll question to the right of this story. Let’s leave it at that. The national questions this week were straightforward enough: Who is going […]
The Grich Who Saved the Season
Last night it was a rain delay without rain, tonight it was Cardinals Hall of Fame honors for Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, so expect Sunday’s finale to be pushed back due to, dunno, no hot dogs in stock or something. But whatever the excuse, the Cardinals could not avoid the inevitable on Saturday. With […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 12, 2026
Charlotte Knights 10, Buffalo Bisons 1 (doubleheader opener, 7 innings)The Knights (78-65) had a brilliant day, with an offensive onslaught that brought them to within three games of a playoff berth heading into the last series of the season, right? Well, not really. Because the nightcap of the doubleheader had barely gotten underway when it […]
Game Thread: White Sox (75-72) at Cardinals (73-75) (delayed, to honor a mediocre World Series winner)
Not that there’s any good time to play the National League Central, featuring the best team in baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the second-best second-place team in baseball. And as the White Sox have found, third- and fourth-place Pittsburgh and St. Louis — essentially equals of the White Sox, give or take […]
Today in White Sox History: September 12
1900 The White Sox beat the Cleveland Blues, 12-4, in Chicago to clinch the franchise’s first pennant. (The American League would not be recognized as an official major league until 1901, however.) Roy Patterson got the win in the game. The season seemed to set the tone for the franchise, with exceptional pitching and defense — and […]
A win not in the Cards; White Sox fall again
This may come as somewhat of a shock, but the White Sox lost again Friday night. I know, who could’ve seen it coming that the team that has looked like a dumpster fire since late August would once again do everything possible to lose a game. I don’t even know how to feel, but I […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 11, 2026
Charlotte Knights 2, Buffalo Bisons 1Coming off a tough loss, Charlotte decided the best way to stay in the playoff race was to do the bare minimum. Fortunately, it paid off. Joey Wiemer’s two-run homer generated the only runs of the night for Charlotte. Somehow, this not-so-mighty effort outweighed Buffalo’s solo shot from Davis Schneider. […]
Game Thread: White Sox (75-71) at Cardinals (72-75) (delayed, rain — first pitch 8:25 p.m. CT)
With football season now underway, you’re getting a football-themed game thread. If you don’t like football, suck it up, you can deal with it for one day. Let’s be honest, even a football themed game thread is more entertaining than whatever the heck the White Sox are doing. For the last 2 ½ weeks the […]
