Ignorance isn’t bliss: Once again, calling out the national media’s anti-White Sox bias
The South Side can’t escape its reputation in the national media — including the lazy and inaccurate assumption that the White Sox have and will always play second fiddle to the Cubs — no matter how well they play. On Tuesday morning, the latest in a long line of slights was revealed, as The Athletic […]
Today in White Sox History: April 29
1901 Shortstop Frank Shugart hit the first home run in White Sox history. It came in the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to Detroit, off of future South Side starter Frank Owen. Ironically, the 1901 season was the only one Shugart would play in, as he was banned from the sport after the year ended for punching an umpire […]
White Sox defeat Angels 5-2 in the Drew Romo Game
Davis Martin and the White Sox (13-17) picked up a sound win over the Los Angeles (12-19), earning Martin his fourth win of the season and the team finally taking a series win at home. The bullpen was nearly spotless, the offense mashed two home runs off one of the game’s best pitchers, and Drew […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 27, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 10, Charlotte Knights 7The Knights (13-15) spent most of the evening face-down in the dirt despite a frantic late scramble. Hagen Smith looked locked in early, breezing through two before the wheels wobbled in the third. A leadoff walk turned into a two-run shot, and just like that, Charlotte was chasing. Smith settled […]
Game Thread: Angels (12-18) at White Sox (12-17)
The White Sox are coming off a wild, late-night win on Monday, defeating the Angels after a long three-hour rain delay, with the game not ending until the wee hours of this morning. Ideally, for today, we can hope that the weather is much better, the game ends at a normal time, and that there’s […]

1901 Bock Baker of the Blues surrendered a record 23 singles to the White Sox, who crushed Cleveland, 13-1, at South Side Park without the assistance of an extra-base hit. Fred McMullin led Chicago with four singles, while everyone in the lineup got at least one safety. Clark Griffith threw the complete-game win, and had […]
Long delay + huge comeback = White Sox win
After a three-hour rain delay, the White Sox and Angels decided to start playing tonight’s game … at 9:40 p.m. CT. Or for this writer and editor, 10:40 p.m. The game ended 35 minutes into Tuesday in Chicago, but the Good Guys somehow pulled off a massive comeback, winning 8-7. Oh, and Mune leads the […]
Game Thread: Angels (12-17) at White Sox (11-17) (delayed, rain)
The White Sox will get their first look at the Angels this evening in an evenly matched series. Unfortunately, the game will be delayed by rain and additional storms coming through the area. But before the game gets rolling, some news — both good and bad. The good news: Sean Burke joined James Baldwin on […]
White Sox Weekly: April 20-26, 2026
For the first time this year, the White Sox have had a week that did not end with a losing record. And the first half of the week brought the first back-to-back series wins of the season. Unfortunately, however, the second half saw a return to a lack of power and run support. Going into […]

1902 In a 9-0 whitewashing of the St. Louis Blues, leadoff hitter Sammy Strang played the full game with no official at-bats. That anomaly occurred due to a record-setting five walks in the game. Strang became the first of just six White Sox hitters ever to walk five times in a game (the feat, in […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 26, 2026
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights got beaten by good pitching, plain and simple. With the 5-1 loss to the Sounds, Charlotte (13-14) is now a game under .500, which feels about right. Starter Jake Curtis got crushed in the second giving up a three-run bomb, and Nashville just kept piling on. It was […]
Identical scores: White Sox lose game, series 2-1 to Nationals
Despite a terrific outing from Sean Burke, the White Sox couldn’t hit the ball this afternoon, collecting just four singles over 10 innings. Both teams carried zero runs into extra innings, and the White Sox fell to the Nationals, 2-1, in the 10th to collect the series loss. Bryan Hudson, who opened for Burke, had […]
Game Thread: Nationals (12-16) at White Sox (11-16)
While yesterday’s extra-inning loss was certainly disappointing, it left little doubt in my mind that this is indeed a different Sox team than the moribund group we’ve become accustomed to over the last few years. Noah Schultz dominated, and while the power surges of Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami have slowed down a bit, other […]
Munetaka Murakami is must-watch baseball
Some players are fun. Then there are the ones who make you drop whatever you’re doing. Munetaka Murakami is that guy. Right now, White Sox fans are getting the rare treat of watching something special, and yes, it’s happening in real time right in front of us. Murakami didn’t show up to fireworks and a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 25, 2026
Although only four of the five scheduled games ended up being played on Saturday, it was a plenty busy day. Particularly in Charlotte, where the ball was flying (39 runs in two games) during a Knights split. Plus, the roster shifted quite a bit before first pitcher, as Austin Hays and Chris Murphy started rehab […]
Nationals score at their Leasure in the 10th, beat White Sox, 6-3
Perhaps the most memorable thing about this game from a White Sox perspective is that, according to the TV folks, it was only the second time since 1901 that four switch-hitting catchers appeared in the same game. Not much to that, you say? Well, it’s better than considering what happened on the field. Want another […]
Gamethread: Nationals (11-16) at White Sox (11-15)
Having smartly timed their turn to lead correctly in a seesaw game last night, the White Sox try to pick up another victory over the Nationals this afternoon, albeit under much different conditions. A nor’easter that hit overnight has dropped the temperature more than 20° from yesterday and produced 25 mph wind gusts that should […]
Munetaka Murakami’s historic April continues defying expectations
I was wrong. When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami to a two-year, $34-million deal, I immediately jumped to the conclusion that something was wrong with him. A cursory glance at his NPB stats snowballed into a statistical analysis on his hypothetical impact on the 2025 Sox before he even stepped foot in the batter’s […]

1951 White Sox slugger Eddie Robinson hit the first rooftop home run by a Chicago player at Comiskey Park. Robinson’s blast was off of Al Widmar of the Browns, in the third inning of an 8-6 White Sox win. It was the eighth all-time home run over the roof. Robinson hit 29 home runs that year and drove in 117 runs, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: April 23, 2026
Charlotte Knights 11, Nashville Sounds 9The Knights pulled off their first three-game win streak of April in a duel that nearly came down to the wire. The bats steadily put up runs as the pitching slowly relented as the innings progressed. Jarred Kelenic, who is clinging to what prospect standing he retains after a rough […]
White Sox grind out another win, 5-4
For a second there, it seemed like South Side Sox recaps might simply turn into Munetaka Murakami home-run watches. Based on the flat start to Friday’s game, a fairly hapless team effort against a mediocre opponent, perhaps. But the Good Guys rallied late, scraping and scrapping their way to four runs in their final three […]
Game Thread: Nationals (11-15) at White Sox (10-15)
I’m sure most of you are thinking that it’s WAY COOL that after a surprisingly successful road trip (4-2, two series wins!) out west that the home cooking will taste MIGHTY FINE with the Nationals in town. Yes, it’s true that no one is expecting anything from the Nasty Nats this season, the club is […]
Today in White Sox History: April 24
1901 It wasn’t planned this way, but three games in other cities were postponed by rain, putting the White Sox in position to host the first major league game in American League history. Some 9,000 fans at South Side Park — or maybe it was 14,000, reports conflict — saw the home club beat the […]
