The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
1901 The White Sox were part of the first forfeit in American League history. After the Detroit Tigers took a lead with five runs in the top of the ninth, rain began. White Sox players began stalling, hoping to have the game wash out and be called as of the last full inning played (the […]
The White Sox have been worse than .500 all season long, so declaring them a must-watch team seems a bit hyperbolic. But Friday’s 8-2 annihilation of a Padres team very strong out of the gate — 5 1/2 games better than Chicago entering play — touched on the three players most likely to make you […]
Gwinnett Stripers 4, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights seemed to be doing fine with their 1-0 lead, courtesy of an RBI double from Oliver Dunn in the fifth, but then Luke Bell took the mound. After seven strong games in High-A, the decision to advance Bell to Triple-A and bypass Birmingham turned out to be a […]
Welcome to Noah Schultz Night! And quite a late night it is, with the White Sox back on the West Coast, taking on the high-flying Padres. Basically beyond his first inning in the major leagues, Schultz has been spectacular, certainly better than advertised for a 22-year-old whose 2025 wasn’t terribly impressive/marred by injury. A new […]
1901 In the dead ball era, homers were sparse. In fact, the White Sox went their first four official American League games without one. But on this day, the offense exploded by banging out 16 hits to bury Detroit, 19-9. The onslaught marked the first time in the AL that the White Sox hit two […]
Gwinnett Stripers 9, Charlotte Knights 5Shane Smith, battered last time out, gave Charlotte (14-16) what they needed with two scoreless. He surrendered only one hit, two walks, and three Ks. Of course, the good times didn’t last long. Enter Chase Plymell, and cue the disaster reel. Three singles, then a meatball grand slam in the […]
Somehow, the White Sox have managed to meet the wildest of expectations in the first month of the 2026 season. Get embarrassingly swept? Check. Sweep the defending AL pennant-winner? Check. Lose several players for the season? Again, check. Be somehow one of the best but also worst teams in several hitting and pitching categories? You […]
The high likelihood of a 2027 work stoppage has been floating in the background for a while now, tied to the upcoming expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement. How will this affect our Sox? The easy answer is that it depends a lot on where they are in their timeline. The more honest answer […]
1922 White Sox pitcher Charlie Robertson fired a perfect game, beating the Tigers, 2-0, in Detroit. Robertson’s perfect game only took one hour and 55 minutes to complete. The 26-year-old rookie struck out six, in just the fourth start of his career. In the second inning, Earl Sheely drove in both Sox runs with a single. As proof of Robertson’s […]
Charlotte Knights 10, Gwinnett Stripers 9A late rally by the Knights (14-15) allowed them to pull off an exciting victory over Gwinnett (18-11). Tanner McDougal, 23, started on the mound for the Knights, and he retired all three batters he faced. McDougal now has a 3.00 ERA in 24 innings this season, all in Triple-A. […]
If this felt like a game the White Sox had no business winning, that’s because for most of the afternoon, they didn’t. And then, in the end, they did anyway. The Good Guys walked it off in extras, 3-2, completing the sweep of the Angels. Chicago finished the month with 13 wins. That’s not exactly […]
In response to the fever that has broken out all over the South Side, our friends at BreakingT have come up with a nifty little design celebrating the awesomeness of slugger Munetaka Murakami: You gotta admit, it’s a pretty impossibly clever design, with the moon “O” and a bit of a nod to silent film […]
The Chicago White Sox are back at it this afternoon, looking to finish off a sweep against the Los Angeles Angels after a pair of wins to start the series. Following Monday’s comeback and a solid 5-2 victory on Tuesday, the South Siders suddenly have a chance to stack three straight and keep a little […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
