Game Thread: Yankees (59-46) at White Sox (55-49)
It’s a new week and a new series, this time with the Bronx Bombers in town. With similar records, the White Sox will see a mostly dominant Yankees team for the second time this year. Before the game, the White Sox returned outfielder Everson Pereira from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, reinstated him […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Sox fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Hey White Sox fans, we already have covered some trade deadline-type stuff with Reacts, including which areas […]
White Sox Weekly: July 20-26, 2026
There is distance growing between the first-place White Sox and those pesky Cleveland Guardians. A series victory in Arlington mixed with a singule win against the Astros created a 2 1/2-game division lead for the Good Guys. This, helped by the fact that Cleveland has now lost five in a row, created some much-needed breathing […]
Today in White Sox History: July 27
1951 Among many injustices betraying a pro-Yankees slant in Major League Baseball over the years, this was egregious as they come. It was the start of a four-game series at Yankee Stadium, with Chicago trailing New York and Boston by just 3 1⁄2 games in the standing. The White Sox trailed the Yankees, 3-2, when […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 26, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 4The second bullpen game of the series also ended up as the second bullpen game win of the series for Charlotte (55-47), even scoring seven runs in both ad-hoc games. With just three innings to play, the Knights held a commanding 6-1 lead, so this one was not quite as […]
Astros fizzle, White Sox romp, 12-3
When Jeremy Peña led off the game with a homer off Erick Fedde, it seemed to portend a rough day for the White Sox. It portended wrong. It only took two Sox batters to turn things around. Sam Antonacci led off the bottom of the first with a walk, and then Munetaka Murakami started his […]
Game Thread: Astros (52-54) at White Sox (54-49)
The White Sox have been outscored 13-1 in their last 13 innings, but they’re hoping to have a big turnaround on a date that is 13 x 2. It will be Erick Fedde trying to avoid the downfall of predecessors Davis Martin and Sean Burke, both of whom cruised through five innings against the Astros […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Noah moves on, if he must
This week was a challenging Reacts poll for South Side Sox readers, in that it asked you to choose a player from the rookie corps you’d be most comfortable with dealing away. Over at The Feed, where the voting is now hosted, there was more than one comment akin to “no one” — with support […]

1916 Facing just 28 batters in the game, Eddie Cicotte fired a one-hitter in defeating the Yankees, 2-0, in front of 6,000 at Comiskey Park. Two batters plays kept the game from perfection: Cicotte earned a 90 game score, tied for 76th-best in White Sox history. He was such an ace hurler, this 90 qualifies […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 25, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 6 (10 innings)This one was quite the nail-biter, deadlocked at five through regulation and both ghost runners scoring in the 10th. The difference for the Knights (54-47) came due to the fact that birthday boy Korey Lee (happy 28th, KL!) drove in two, not just one, runs with his single […]
Sixth inning sinks Sox again in 4-1 setback
For a moment, it looked as if Sean Burke was really going to be the star of the show again. To an extent, he was. A six-inning performance yielding just two earned runs is nothing to sneeze at. But when you put up an offensive performance like the White Sox did in tonight’s 4-1 loss […]
Game Thread: Astros (51-54) at White Sox (54-48)
We’re just going to pretend like that one never happened, right? The Sox held the Astros scoreless in seven of the nine innings they played yesterday, and allowed just one in one of the others. We can leave it at that, I think. At the very least, the Sox have the advantage of sending their […]

1954 In the first game of a twin bill at Boston, White Sox pitcher Jack Harshman set the franchise record by striking out 16 Red Sox. Harshman, a converted first baseman, was taught a “slip pitch” (a variation of a palm ball) by manager Paul Richards. Harshman got the win, 5-2. At the time, Harshman’s 16 Ks were two shy […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 24, 2026
Understanding that the true White Sox prospect list is the yearly offseason South Side Sox Top 100 Prospects, the closest second you’ll find the MLB Pipeline Top 30, which is issued in the offseason and midseason after the draft. MLB’s updated list was issued yesterday (sans 2026 draft picks, who have yet to play a […]
Sixth inning of horror dooms White Sox
While a regulation MLB game is nine innings, it can take just one inning to change the entire landscape of a game. Unfortunately for the White Sox, they were on the bad end of an inning that was more horrifying than the recent Backrooms movie. It was an odd game that had the good vibes […]
Game Thread: Astros (50-54) at White Sox (54-47)
Coming out of the All-Star break neck-and-neck with the Cleveland Guardians, the Chicago White Sox knew they had to hit the ground running. With two road series on deck against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, winning each respective series was all that mattered and the White Sox did exactly that. Thanks to […]
Today in White Sox History: July 24
1956 On the fourth at-bat of the game, and with the Yankees already leading, 1-0, Moose Skowron drove a Billy Pierce pitch over the roof at Comiskey Park. It was the 14th roof shot ever by a White Sox opponent and 15th overall. The good news for the Good Guys is that it took the […]
Jerry Reinsdorf isn’t the only idiot MLB owner
Jerry Reinsdorf may have been christened “the Owner Who Thinks He Knows Everything,” but there are others who know zilch about baseball as well, from Anaheim to Queens. But all those billionaires are supposed to share an ability to figure out finances. Fuggedaboudit. There’s a really big chance coming up for the owners of Major […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 23, 2026
Norfolk Tides @ Charlotte Knights — Postponed due to weatherThe Knights and Tides will make up Thursday’s game as a part of a doubleheader on Friday, July 24. Montgomery Biscuits 6, Birmingham Barons 4A three-run eighth inning for the Biscuits (46-46) was the difference in this one, as the Barons (35-58) fumbled the lead to […]

1931 With the Red Sox crushing the White Sox in the bottom of the sixth inning at Fenway Park, 13-4, Boston right fielder Earl Webb lined into a triple play: White Sox third baseman Billy Sullivan made the snag and caught Rabbit Warstler off of third base for the second out, then tripled Jack Rothrock […]
White Sox rebound, beat Rangers 4-2 to reclaim first place in AL Central
After getting thoroughly humbled Tuesday night, the White Sox responded the way good teams do. Chicago (54-47) scratched out timely hits, got a dominant performance from the bullpen, and knocked off the Rangers, 4-2, on Wednesday night to secure its 18th series win of the season. Even better, Cleveland fell to the Twins 10-6, pushing […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 22, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Norfolk Tides 4The Knights (52-46) are off to a good start against the Tides (35-61), and they hold a 2-0 series lead. Charlotte picked up 12 hits and drew six walks during a strong performance. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the second, when four of the first five Knights […]
Game Thread: White Sox (53-47) at Rangers (51-50)
After taking an old-fashioned Texas whoopin’ on Tuesday night, the White Sox will try to bounce back this evening and secure their 18th series win of the season. Even with last night’s 10-0 drubbing, Chicago still enters play in the thick of the AL Central race, though the Guardians’ win over the Twins means the […]

1928 Hall-of-Famer Red Faber could do it all — and on occasion, he could hit. Up to bat in the top of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, with two outs and runners at second and third and the game tied, 4-4, Faber was down two strikes. The righty Faber then jumped across the plate to […]
Texas Baseball Massacre: Rangers blow out White Sox, 10-0
When all was said and done, it was simply not the South Siders’ night. The Rangers’ (51-50) offense blasted 18 hits to shut out the White Sox (53-47), 10-0. Their bats were seemingly in hibernation while the pitchers were dishing out hits and runs left and right like it was an Oprah episode. Before Tuesday’s […]
