The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
1933 On the same day that the White Sox were awarded the very first All-Star Game, the club suffered their second-worst turnaround loss ever. Up 11-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, the White Sox surrendered 12 runs and wound up losing the game an inning later, 15-11. Ted Lyons surrendered […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0The Knights (27-25) leaned on a stellar night from the pitching staff and just enough timely offense to blank Jacksonville. Charlotte struck first in the second inning when Dru Baker showed off some thump, yanking his sixth homer of the season to bring home two runs and give the […]
The offense came up short for the Good Guys, going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in a frustrating 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins on the South Side tonight. This game had all the emotions: annoyance that the bats couldn’t ignite, excitement from a game-tying homer, shock after the go-ahead run was thrown out […]
The White Sox brought themselves back to a game above .500 after a rough road trip, and will aim to defeat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth time in a row tonight. Sean Burke had himself an excellent April — 2.73 ERA in 29 2/3 innings — but has fallen flat this month, holding a […]
1959White Sox owner Bill Veeck was always good for a crazy stunt, but this one topped the cake. Before a game hosting Cleveland and in front of 40,018 fans, four little people dressed up as Martians “landed” at Comiskey Park (via helicopter) and “captured” Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio. One of the Martians was 3´7´´ Eddie Gaedel. Terms were discussed for […]

After and exchange of long-ball offense early and then hanging on to a 3-1 win for the White Sox this Memorial Day. But the big play didn’t come from big bats but from 5´6´´ Rikuu Nishida, playing in his first major league game. The Sox and Twins traded solo homers by Brooks Lee and Munetaka […]
If a person of a certain age told you the 2026 Chicago White Sox would be .500 at Memorial Day, you would have thought dementia had arrived. If a person of any age told you the 2026 Minnesota Twins would be just one game under .500, you would have assumed the ingestion of a bunch […]
Last week you might recall that the weekly recap touched on the fact that it’s not every week the White Sox hit 15 home runs. There are also going to be weeks where they only hit four — and this week was one of them. The record of the West Coast trip reflects this lack […]
1912 In a sort of game we’ll never see again, the White Sox won a 17-inning game against Detroit, 5-4: Harry Lord led off the 17th with a double, was sacrificed to third by Walt Kuhn, and trotted home to end the nearly four-hour game on a fly ball to the wall/single from Ping Bodie. […]
Charlotte Knights 3, Gwinnett Stripers 2After stranding the bases loaded in the second and falling behind by two early, the Knights (26-25) finally broke through in the eighth to steal a 3-2 win. Charlotte got right to work. Dustin Harris singled, and Mario Camilletti walked in the second before Dru Baker reached on a botched […]
The mighty Casey may be fated to strike out sooner or later. Still, today was not that day, as Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt and first baseman Rafael Devers ran wild on Sox pitching this afternoon, driving in all eight San Francisco runs in the White Sox 8-5 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. […]
A bullpen implosion for the South Siders Saturday led to the Giants tying the series at one, so the Good Guys will aim to bounce back today with a win to head home with a .500 record for their trip to the west coast (3-3). Lefthander Noah Schultz will be making his eighth start of […]
1917 Reb Russell threw a 12-inning shutout against the Senators, giving up 11 hits, striking out six, and walking none. Russell was helped by Ray Schalk gunning down all four of Washington’s attempts to steal second base. Oh, and at the plate, Russell also went 2-for-4 with a triple. 1929 In one of the greatest […]
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Stripers (28-22) scored early, putting up five runs in the first three innings off of Knights (25-25) righthander Duncan Davitt, while the Charlotte offense couldn’t respond, and Gwinnett won their second game of the series, 5-1. Davitt recorded his second loss of the season and has consistently had a […]
Apparently, if the sun is out, all you have to do to beat the White Sox is hit pop-ups. Or hope they bring in Jordan Leasure. The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the fourth thanks to Jarred Kelenic misplaying a Luis Arraez fly ball into a triple, which a sac fly and four singles […]
It’s a trifle unlikely that a strategy of nine-up-nine-down-nine-run-inning-five-more-innings-without-a-hit will work two games in a row, so the White Sox may want to try a different form of attack today. That approach will start against Adrian Houser, who was Chicago’s best pitcher last year — 6-2, 2.10 ERA — before being traded to the Tampa […]
On May 8, 2025, Chicago native and Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became Pope Leo XIV. Soon after the announcement, news broke that the newest Holy Man was a lifelong White Sox fan who was in the crowd for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Because Chicago can’t be chill about anything, and the White […]
1911 Shano Collins hit the first three-run homer in Comiskey Park history — almost a year after the park opened! While that fact is fluky enough, Collins’ blow didn’t even leave the park: It was an inside-the-park smash to the deep center field of the park. Collins’ milestone homer came at the expense of the […]
San Francisco’s Trevor McDonald was perfect through the first three innings against the White Sox tonight. Trying to get through the lineup a second time proved to be impossible for the righty, as Chicago hung nine runs on the Giants and cruised to a 9-4 win. It started with back-to-back hit batsmen to put Sam […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3 (11 innings)Although there wasn’t much action, the Knights let a perfectly good bullpen victory slip away, only to restore it at the end. Charlotte’s highs sat on its starter’s shoulders, as Shane Murphy held the Stripers to one run, five hits and three strikeouts in five frames. On the […]
After back-to-back to back road trips to the West Coast, this series represents, in late May, the White Sox final games in the Pacific Time Zone. Tony Vitello and the San Francisco Giants look to give the South Siders their first series loss since April 26, while Munetaka Murakami and friends will look to not […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
