Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights 6 Things looked good at first as Rikuu Nishida cracked a leadoff double, scooted to third on a routine grounder, and then watched as three straight Knights worked walks to force in the opener. Oliver Dunn followed with a laser to right, clearing the bases for a 3-0 jumpstart. Unfortunately, […]
Timely hitting and some clutch home runs helped propel the White Sox (20-21) to their third straight win, defeating the Royals (19-23), 6-5. Four of the seven South Side hits were for extra bases, with three dingers and a double, including two clutch bombs that both took the lead at different points in the game. […]
It’s time for baseball! After a Monday off day, the Royals are in Chicago to play the White Sox. Stephen Kolek is back for another start, in place of the injured Cole Ragans. While it stinks for Ragans, it is nice to see Kolek get some more chances, as he has looked pretty good so […]
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. Not having competed against an AL Central team since they split a four-game series in Kansas City last month, the Good Guys have a chance to […]
The three-year streak of 100+ losses in a season may be coming to an end for the White Sox. They have won 8 of their last 12 and are flirting with .500, just 1.5 games behind first place Cleveland. They have found a few young productive hitters, as well as perhaps the best free agent […]
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 […]
Good morning! A frustrating 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox last night saw a Logan Gilbert gem erased in the eighth inning, and a lack of Mariner run support gave Chicago the series win. George Kirby will take the mound tonight at 5:10 PM in a new four-game series against the Houston Astros. The […]
On Saturday, May 9, five members of our South Side Sox staff had the opportunity to attend the first-ever “Gameday for the Girls” event hosted by the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field. A huge thank you goes out to the White Sox organization for inviting us to be part of an evening dedicated to […]

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 […]
Eduard Bazardo yielded the two runs the Chicago White Sox needed to beat the Seattle Mariners today. His 1-2 breaking ball to veteran OF Randal Grichuk floated over the heart of the plate like a miscategorized deluxe roll of conveyer belt sushi on the cheapest designated plate. Grichuk’s solo shot tied things at 1-1 in […]
White Sox 2, Mariners 1 Logan on the upswing: Connor Joe, .15 WPA (Sorry, I meant to have an additional category, but clearly the leader was Logan Gilbert, .39 WPA) Everyone who was actually swinging a bat today: Eduard Bazardo, -.53 WPA Game thread comment of the day: Fritz wants us to really dive deep […]
Oh whoops hey there’s baseball today isn’t there. Logan Gilbert gets the start for the Mariners. Davis Martin gets the start for the White Sox. Martin is a righty which means the Mariners will send their good lineup, with Brendan Donovan leading off in his second start back from injury. It’s a beautiful day for […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
After a 12-run explosion yesterday, the Mariners couldn’t summon up a ton of offense, and their pitchers gave up three homers in a 6-1 loss against the White Sox. Luis Castillo couldn’t wiggle out of some first-inning trouble after giving up a leadoff single to Sam Antonacci on a fastball that came in at 95 […]
White Sox 6, Mariners 1 Giving up two two-run homers: Luis Castillo, -.22 WPA 18 whiffs: no one deserves praise, none of you are without sin Game thread comment of the day:
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, […]
Sniff deep, and you can nearly smell .500 once again. Seattle will seek a second consecutive series win this evening as the Mariners face off against the Chicago White Sox today at 4:10pm Pacific time on the usual locations. Seattle outslugged the ChiSox Friday night, in a recap you can enjoy here. In Mariners news… […]
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 […]
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 […]
