Game Thread: Royals (19-22) at White Sox (19-21)

The South Siders have won three of their last four series and will finally be playing a division opponent as they kick off a three-game set against the Royals.

White Sox Weekly: May 4-10, 2026

The White Sox had a week that could very well be described as average, as they did in fact go 3-3. A closer look of the lost series to the Angels and the series victory against the Mariners will tell you a story of midweek missed opportunity capped on either end with quite the dominant […]

1904 Future Hall-of-Famer Ed Walsh made his White Sox debut, pitching in relief. It happened in Philadelphia, during a 9-3 loss to the A’s. Walsh threw one inning, giving up two hits and a run.  1915 Red Faber threw a complete game win at Comiskey Park vs. Washington, 4-1. So what? Well, it was Faber’s sixth […]

1944 A Hal Trosky steal of home in the 16th inning broke a 2-2 tie in an eventual 4-2 White Sox win over the Philadelphia A’s. Trosky had missed the prior two seasons due to migraine headaches. This stolen base was one of just three Trosky had in 1944 and just one of 28 for […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 10, 2026

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Charlotte Knights 1Though they still split the series, the Knights (19-20) once again fell one game worse than .500 as the Jumbo Shrimp (20-19) shut Charlotte down, 6-1. Lefthander Shane Murphy made his second start with the Knights since being promoted to Triple-A last week, and unfortunately gave up four runs […]

Comeback-kid Sox take game and series, 2-1

Though things looked precarious for a moment there, but the Davis Martin Hype Train choo-choos on! In the first inning, it looked as if the 29-year-old’s magical run to start this interesting 2026 campaign might finally be at its end. Martin struggled to put hitters away early, letting in a run in the first inning […]

Game Thread: Mariners (19-21) at White Sox (18-21)

The White Sox are finally having a shred of success after being absolutely barren for three straight years. What does that mean? It means it’s time to start complaining about the disrespect shown to the South Side by [insert national media apparatus here]. Legal sports gambling is an absolute and utter plague upon humanity and […]

1909 The White Sox knock off Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators, 1-0, in 11 innings. Johnson suffered his second straight 1-0 loss. By the end of 1909, he’d have 10 losses by shutouts, which will be more than any other pitcher in the 20th Century. It is also a record-tying third straight 1-0 loss, […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 9, 2026

With five games every night now more or less routine, we’ve already hit our first 0-5 night on the farm. Worse, the five teams, over 43 innings, mustered just 19 hits. Gonna be a long year for the affiliates. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Charlotte Knights 5It’s back to .500 for the Knights (18-18), as an […]

White Sox right the ship against Mariners in 6-1 win

Ending their short-lived losing streak, the Chicago White Sox tied the series against the Seattle Mariners with a 6-1 win, and the longball got the job done. Sam Antonacci led off the ballgame with an opposite-field single to left-center, and his heart-and-hustle nature paved way for a stolen base and an aggressive tag from second […]

Game Thread: Mariners (19-20) at White Sox (17-21)

After dropping the first game of this nine-game homestand last night and on a three-game losing streak, the Chicago White Sox will rely on Anthony Kay to provide a lead the turnaround. Kay (1-1, 5.70 ERA, 7.62 xERA) has struggled with consistency in the early going and hasn’t pitched into the sixth inning since April […]

1976 White Sox pitcher Wilbur Wood’s career essentially was ended after his left kneecap was shattered by a sixth-inning line drive off the bat of future South Sider Ron LeFlore in Detroit. Wood had gotten off to a fine 4-3 start, with five complete games and a 2.49 ERA, when the injury took place. He got credit for a 4-2 win, […]

Our polling software is out of commission tonight, so please feel free to highlight your MVPs and Cold Cats in the comments! Charlotte Knights 8, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5Alas! The Knights breached .500 with an 8-5 victory over the Jumbo Shrimp that was truly a team effort. The usual suspects all got on the bases […]

White Sox fall to Mariners in 12-8 slugfest

What appeared to be a pitcher’s duel between two young pitchers quickly turned into a game of “first to 10.” After sitting down the Seattle Mariners in order and going into the second inning with a lead thanks to another Munetaka Murakami tank, things quickly unraveled for the White Sox, as they dropped the opener […]

Game Thread: Mariners (18-20) at White Sox (17-20)

After a fairly successful road trip to the West Coast, the Chicago White Sox welcome the Seattle Mariners to kick off a nine-game homestand. Although two straight losses have soured the taste a bit, Chicago is still 6-4 over their last 10 and still very much in the slow AL Central race. While it hasn’t […]

1912 Pitching most of his career in the dead-ball era, it’s no shock that all-time hurling great Walter Johnson allowed just 97 home runs over his 802 career games and 5,914 1⁄3 innings. But you might be startled to know that in a 7-6 loss to the White Sox, Johnson surrendered two home runs (2.1% […]

Charlotte Knights 16, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 1Not only did the Knights (18-18) make it back to .500, but they outhit the Jumbo Shrimp (18-18), 14-5, and went 7-for-16 with runners in scoring position. Charlotte’s pitching set the tone for the rest of the White Sox affiliates, striking out eight while walking just one, with the […]

1927 The Comiskey Park upper deck officially opened to fans, as 37,000 fans streamed in to watch the New York Yankees crush the home team, 8-0. The upper deck added 23,200 seats to the ballpark’s capacity. It was a tight contest until the ninth inning, when Lou Gehrig capped a six-run frame for the Bronx […]

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 7, Charlotte Knights 6The Knights (17-18) nearly won their fourth in a row to move above .500, but they fell short, as the Jumbo Shrimp offense heated up late. Knights reliever Tyler Gilbert, 32, served as the opener in this game, and he performed admirably. Gilbert delivered two shutout innings to give […]

Second-inning spiral sinks White Sox in 7-2 loss to Angels

For a minute there in the top of the second when the Good Guys got on the board first, it felt like they might actually take the series. Then the bottom of the second inning happened, and poof, the vibes from the past couple of weeks packed up and left the building. Chicago dropped the […]

Game Thread: White Sox (17-19) at Angels (14-23)

The White Sox are back in the saddle this afternoon with a rubber match on tap against the Angels. The South Siders get a shot to prove this little hot streak isn’t just a mirage. They’ve won their last two series, and a victory today would make it three straight. They also have six wins […]
