Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Not every week goes according to plan, and this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast tackles a tough stretch head-on with the honest, analytical conversation Royals fans have come to expect. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with a full breakdown of the series loss against the Chicago White Sox, examining the starting pitching struggles […]
Triple-A: Charlotte (White Sox) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 One might like to see better from a Tides lineup that has rehabbing big leaguers Jackson Holliday and Heston Kjerstad than to get just four hits in the game. One does not always get what one wants. Holliday and Kjerstad, batting at the top of the lineup, […]
You knew this Cubs team wasn’t going to be in a hitting drought forever, and they chose one of the best times to come out of that slump, in front of a packed house on the South Side where close to half the crowd was Cubs fans. The Cubs went out to an early lead, […]

Charlotte Knights 4, Norfolk Tides 1Charlotte’s four-spot in the third carried the team to another modest win. Michael Turner and LaMonte Wade Jr. hit back-to-back bombs, and Korey Lee followed up with a single that plated the remaining two runs. The Knights needed six arms to get the job done. Hagen Smith is still settling […]
What’s that viral quote referenced in Ted Lasso time and time again? “It’s the hope that kills you?” Unfortunately, White Sox fans know that all too well, although even hope has been hard to come by in recent years. In those recent years, the moment the White Sox fell behind the game was virtually over. […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Sean Burke, RHP Edward Cabrera was going along pretty well this year, then he got hit hard by the Rangers last Saturday. Of concern as well: After allowing no home runs in his first four starts covering 22.2 innings, he’s now served up seven […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 45 Cubs 10, White Sox 5: Carson Kelly leads an offensive explosion Cubs vs. White Sox, Friday 5/15, 6:40 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Friday 5/15, 6:40 CT
1929 White Sox outfielder Art “The Great” Shires (Shires, by the way, gave himself that nickname) and manager Lena Blackburne got into a fistfight in the clubhouse over Shires choosing to wear a red felt hat during pregame warmups. Blackburne knocked Shires out cold. 1941 In a game in New York, White Sox pitcher Eddie Smith allowed a hit to Yankee great Joe […]
The White Sox are over .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2022. Thus, the Cubs should not underestimate them. They might not be a great team, but they are certainly improved over what they were the last couple of years. For more on the White Sox, here’s Chrystal O’Keefe, managing […]
Interleague play began in 1997, so 2026 will be the 30th season of MLB teams playing outside their own “league.” In reality, Major League Baseball became one league in 1999 when the positions of league president were eliminated and the umpiring crews were merged. The National League and American League still exist, of course, but […]
It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]
Rivalry Weekend begins tonight. Some of the matchups are obvious: you needn’t ask why the Cubs and White Sox have beef with each other (not Italian beef. Disliking each other, they would not likely share a meal of that delicious Chicago specialty). Some are not: Detroit and Toronto may be close to each other, but […]
Triple-A:Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 4 Norfolk Tides 1 Trey Gibson started and limited Charlotte to one run over four innings. After a brief stint in the Orioles bullpen, the organization limited Gibson to 65 pitches. He threw 41 strikes. The 23-year-old allowed four hits, three walks, and struck out five. Trace Bright piggybacked Gibson and […]
Yes indeed, get ready, because every sentence in this lede is going to sound more absurd than the last. The Chicago White Sox have defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-2. They swept the Royals in a three-game series. The win has put the White Sox record at 22-21. It has also strengthened the White Sox’s […]
With tonight’s 6-2 loss, the Royals were swept by the White Sox for the first time in three years. The Royals dominated the White Sox for the past couple of seasons, but that hasn’t been the case through the first seven games of 2026. The teams split their first series of the year, in Kansas […]
Sorry everybody, but stepdad David is in charge tonight. You will not be getting a detailed preview. What I can promise you is a screengrab of the Statcast Game Preview, ice cream before dinner and no bedtime. Don’t tell your mom. Tonight it’s Anthony Kay on the mound for the White Sox, who hasn’t been […]
The Royals are back at it tonight on the South Side of Chicago versus the White Sox. Entering tonight’s contest, the Royals are 19-24 and tied for third in the American League Central. The Pale Hose, meanwhile, are 21-21 and in second place in the AL Central, just a game-and-a-half behind the inevitable Guardians. Chicago’s […]
The Royals have not been happy road warriors. Their loss to the White Sox last night ensures they will have lost six of their first seven road series, the only success being a sweep in Seattle. They are just 6-14 overall on the road, the second-worst record in baseball. The road woes have been a […]
As I write this, late at night on an irksomely chilly May 13, in a year where (like every year now) spring seems reluctant to arrive, the Chicago White Sox are a .500 ballclub. The cold, sun-shy temps can make a person think we’re just at the start of a season, where they might be […]
1907 The lead-up to the first weekend game of the new season was full of pomp and circumstance, and the White Sox celebrated their World Series win over the crosstown Cubs. But after the parade into the park, as the pennant itself was being raised, the wooden flagpole at South Side Park snapped in half. […]
The Royals are now 2-4 vs the White Sox this year, after dropping a second straight game 6-5, writes Jaylon Thompson. These aren’t your older brother’s White Sox. During the previous two seasons, the Royals won 22 of 26 games against the South Siders. But things have changed now. The White Sox beat the Royals […]
The kids are alright, and the South Siders are somehow sitting at .500. On a chilly Wednesday at Rate Field, the White Sox outlasted the Royals, 6-5, riding a Colson Montgomery missile and just enough bullpen duct tape to keep the fanbase from collective despair. Noah Schultz spent the first three innings playing surgeon. Seventeen […]
If you were categorizing where the Royals were struggling the most this season, you would probably go with on the road, hitting with runners in scoring position, and against left-handed pitching. All three of those problems arose again today in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox, though the team fought and kept themselves in […]
