The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
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 […]
1905 Frank Smith tossed a one-hitter, the first of his career and fifth in White Sox history. The proceedings didn’t begin as a Smith masterpiece, as the righty actually trailed in the game after walking Senators leadoff man Charlie Jones, Jones sacrificed to second by Hunter Hill, then driven home on a Jake Stahl (with […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3By beating Gwinnett (26-21) to take a 2-0 series lead, the Knights (24-23) joined the White Sox in the above-.500 club. Knights starter David Sandlin, 25, struck out seven and only allowed one run in four innings. The White Sox acquired Sandlin in the trade involving Gage Ziehl and Jordan […]
The White Sox spent the afternoon tripping over their own shoelaces. They outhit Seattle 11-7 but still dropped the rubber match. Eleven strikeouts, 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position, nine left on base. All that traffic, and nothing to show for it. It was the kind of game that keeps rebuilding clubs awake at night […]
The White Sox go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026. Sean Burke draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of […]
1920 At Griffith Stadium in Washington, the White Sox set the team record for the most runs ever scored in an extra inning. In the 16th inning, they were able to score eight times to beat the Senators, 13-5. The Senators made nine errors on the day, leading to nine unearned runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Red […]
Just when you’re sure the letdown is coming, they find a way to keep doing it. After dropping a sleepy one last night, the White Sox were on the verge of dropping another sleepy one in Seattle this evening, trailing 1-0 from the moment the game opened all the way until they had just two […]
Charlotte Knights 5, Gwinnett Stripers 4The Knights (23-23) blasted their way to an early five-run cushion, then survived a late Gwinnett rally for a close win thanks to another shutdown appearance from Ben Peoples. Jonathan Cannon turned in a solid start despite some wild command, allowing just one run over five innings while working around […]
Now that everyone has had a day to settle, and the adrenaline from the wild swings of the Crosstown Cup’s first leg has mostly subsided, it’s time to get back to thinking about what our expectations should be for this South Side team moving forward. For the first time in however many years, I now […]
As quickly as spring came and went, the White Sox leapt from horrendous to… fun? I’m not talking fun in the lovable loser type of way that the North Siders affectionately refer to their tribe, and not in the way a little league parent earnestly cheers for their kid, knowing they’re about to do 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 […]
Just like the rest of us, the White Sox had to get up on Monday and go to work, and just like most of us, they played with some lethargy after a possibly overstimulating weekend, dropping a quiet 6-1 loss to the Mariners on Monday night to open a six-game West Coast swing. It drops […]
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 […]
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 […]
