Latest news and updates about the White Sox
When one of the worst teams in the majors plays one of the best, it’s fair to expect that the mistakes will be made by the team that lost 102 games last year — not the one that was in the World Series. Scratch that expectation. For the second day in a row, it was […]
After an rare Friday off-day, their first of the season, the Jays play game the second of a three game series with the White Sox. And today, I’m actually not in Japan. If everything goes as planned we are in Busan, South Korea today. I often buy soccer jerseys when I’m traveling. I have many […]
Fresh off a dramatic 10-inning victory largely thanks to an emergency Blue Jays catching situation after Alejandro Kirk injured his thumb, the White Sox take on a Toronto team with an emergency pitching situation that’s the result of originally-scheduled starter Eric Lauer recovering from a bout of flu (as apparently is the case for much […]
The Yankees’ hot start to 2026 hummed along yesterday in their home opener. Aaron Judge and Ben Rice brought the lumber as Will Warren outpitched talented young Marlins righty Eury Pérez, and the Yankees woon, 8-6. At 6-1, the Yankees have the best record in baseball. So call the season there! It’s over! No? Whatever, […]
In the aftermath of a truly terrible start to the season (0-3 in Milwaukee, 1-5 overall), we wanted to hear whether the first week of baseball changed your thoughts on how good the White So would be in 2026. As it turns out, it did: About three-quarters of fans have downgraded their initial sunny assessments […]
Nashville Sounds 7, Charlotte Knights 6The Knights have fallen off since their bold start to the season. Unlike their Chicago counterparts on Friday, Charlotte lost control early. Pitching was not on the club’s side, but in reality it rarely ever is. Duncan Davitt came out for his second start, and put the Knights behind the […]
Blue Jays 4 at White Sox 5 (10) A few weeks ago, I came across a humourous yet apt video describing this time of year as sucker punch spring for the swings in the weather. Apparently it also applies to the beginning of the season for the Blue Jays, as for the second successive game […]
On the day it was announced that Ozzie Guillén would be honored with a number retirement ceremony in August, the White Sox responded by grinding out a 5-4 win in 10 innings. In the 10th, the White Sox lost the lead for the first time in the game after a careless error — then rallied […]
During the third inning of the home opener, the broadcast made the odd move to cut to the pregame/postgame crew instead of commercial. Scott Podsednik was on hand to make a mystery announcement: The White Sox are retiring Ozzie Guillén’s No. 13. Ozzie, sitting right next to Podsednik on the broadcast, interrupted Scott’s reading to […]
The Jays start their first road trip with an afternoon game in Chicago. And we can see our old friend, Seranthony Dominguez. By we, I mean you. I’m in Maizuru, Japan today, if all goes the way it is supposed to. I very much enjoyed Chicago when I was there a few years ago. I […]
It’s been more than a year since we’ve seen live baseball on the South Side, and after a one-day Mother Nature day, there will be baseball. Unfortunately, the baseball being played will involved the lackadaisical, 1-5 White Sox hosting the defending AL champion Blue Jays. And look no further than today’s starter for Toronto to […]
Thursdays can obviously be light days on the major league schedule, but this one was a particularly short slate. As far as relevance to the Yankees goes, the Blue Jays were set to take on the White Sox in Chicago’s home opener, but it was pushed back due to inclement weather. So, American League action […]
Tuesday, March 31 — Nashville Sounds 7, Charlotte Knights 3Tuesday was a clinic in futility. The Knights loaded the bases three times in the first four innings and walked away with nothing to show for it but a 7-3 loss to the Sounds. William Bergolla Jr. ripped an RBI double to drive home Sam Antonacci […]
Once again this year, we are publishing the season advisory released by the White Sox. This is your game day guide, not only for Opening Day but the balance of the season. Note one big change, in particular: 35th Street will be closed from 90 minutes prior to scheduled first pitch to approximately one hour […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off a strong 5-1 homestand featuring a sweep of the White Sox and a series win over the Rays, will look to continue their momentum on the road against the Kansas City Royals. The Royals have also gotten off to a solid start, as they’re 3-2 entering Thursday’s series finale against […]
The 2026 MLB season is here! South Side Sox kicked off the season at Rate Field (the most important part of the season?) with a menu review of new dishes coming to the ballpark. The White Sox opened its doors to the media on March 18 to show off their new items. Returning favorites and […]
In case you missed the news yesterday, the White Sox have postponed today’s game, their home opener. It’s going to be decently warm in Chicago today, 19 degrees, but there are apparently high winds and the risk that a rainstorm is going to blow through around game time. Here in Calgary it’s blizzarding sideways, but, […]
1900 The White Sox played their first-ever game, an exhibition win over the University of Illinois baseball team in Champaign, 10-9. Roy Patterson got the win. That season, the American League wasn’t considered a major league (the AL would band together with the National League to form MLB in 1901). However, the White Sox would […]
The weather may have been warm in Miami, but Chicago’s bats? Ice cold. The pitching? Somewhere south of that. The White Sox dropped to 1-5 on the young season after getting thoroughly flattened, 10-0, by the Miami Marlins in a game that somehow felt over before most people had finished their first bite of lunch. […]
Temperatures in Chicago are slated to soar from 40° to 70° during the course of the scheduled White Sox home opener on Thursday. The problem is, with that comes an all-day downpour, including dangerous thunderstorms as well as heavy wind gusts. Peering into that future, the White Sox took the rare step of cancelling the […]
We are at the end of the first home stand. After the game the Jays will be on their way to Chicago for three games with the White Sox. This is a weekday afternoon game. And it is school day at the ballpark. I was there for a school day and they were handing out […]
The Dodgers on Wednesday acquired pitcher Jake Eder from the Washington Nationals, in exchange for cash considerations. Eder was designated for assignment by Washington on Saturday. The left-hander pitched in the majors in parts of the previous two seasons, appearing in one game for the Chicago White Sox in 2024 and seven games for the […]
The Chicago White Sox shoot for a little dignity, and maybe even their first series win, this afternoon against the Miami Marlins in a classic getaway day special. The South Siders are staring down another series that could slip away, but there’s still time to flip the script before boarding the flight to Chicago for […]
1901 Following teammate Clark Griffith, who signed with the White Sox to become player-manager, Chicago Colts (Cubs) pitcher Nixey Callahan jumped leagues to the White Sox. Callahan, like many of his cohorts who fled the National League for the American, saw his salary bump up, in his case to $3,300 ($117,000 today). Callahan was amazing […]
Classic White Sox defensive miscues across the field, throwing errors and inexperienced outfielders were essentially the difference in this game, as the Miami Marlins rebounded Tuesday to beat the South Siders, 9-2. A fourth-inning rally paired with a few gaffes in the outfield soured Erick Fedde’s season debut, although his final line in the box […]
