Well, the White Sox almost had a winning record in the Cactus League, what with a 15-16-1 finish. Too bad it doesn’t matter. But they ended up losing their last five games, six if you include the Spring Breakout game. Good thing it doesn’t matter. Of course, their big hullabaloo this season is about “momentum,” […]
1951 White Sox legend Eddie Collins died at age 63, in Boston. Unquestionably the best second baseman in White Sox history (67.0 WAR), Collins also managed the team for two full seasons in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal. Despite a gutted roster, Collins consistently maintained a record better than .500. He won a […]

This time of year is always a good time. Even when expectations for the White Sox are low, the weather is much better, baseball is returning, and we can have fun predicting how the season will pan out. We will start with catcher Kyle Teel, 24, whose MLB career got off to a fast start […]
1962 White Sox third baseman Andy Carey, traded to Philadelphia on December 15, is instead dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers after refusing to report to the Phillies. (The White Sox ended up sending pitcher Cal McLish to Philadelphia for minor league second baseman Lou Vassie to offset the Phillies not getting Carey.) Carey, just […]
The following transcript was taken from the 2026 Federation of Meatballs’ 27th Annual “Jeez, This Guy is a Little Out There, Even for Us” Banquet Mayor McBall: The Federation of Meatballs has come to order. Our guest speaker is David James. Once again, we remind our audience that Mr. James requested that his remarks remain […]
The Athletics have finished up their spring schedule. With today’s 10-9 win over the Chicago White Sox the regular season is now next. All attention now turns to Friday’s Opening Night in Toronto when our A’s will play some meaningful baseball against the defending American League Champions. There were highs and lows for the team […]
The big, magic word for the White Sox this year is supposed to be “momentum.” Momentum works both ways, folks. To demonstrate without using video of a Russian dissident making the poor decision to stand by a an upper-story window, let us select this afternoon’s Cactus League finale. The Sacramento or wherever they’re playing this […]
It’s a morning game today — well, morning in Arizona — as the White Sox who end up making the team get packed up to fly to Chicago (where the wind chill will be 26° at game time, compared to about 70 degrees warmer in Phoenix). It’s down to the wire to see if the […]
1955 Roberto Clemente made a huge splash with a spring training performance at Fort Myers, Fla. against the White Sox. The rookie clouts a third-inning triple some 425 feet off of the center field fence, the deepest spot in Terry Park. The good news for the White Sox? Clemente attempted to stretch the hit into […]
We did it folks. The A’s are set to play their final exhibition game this morning, taking on the Chicago White Sox for the spring finale. Let’s finish out camp in a winning note. Right-handed Luis Morales is set to get the bal for the Athletics this morning. The righty has made five appearances so […]
Today marks the end of our AL Central preview series. The Chicago White Sox may have drawn first pick in the draft lottery, but their 60 wins were only good for the final entrant here. Unlike previous years, though, the White Sox are full of young, interesting hitters. While they aren’t likely to set the […]
Good morning! The Mariners secured a 4-2 win yesterday against the Chicago White Sox behind six dominant innings from Bryan Woo. He allowed one run on three hits with four strikeouts through 73 pitches. The Mariners will play in their final Spring Training game today (!) with Luis Castillo on the mound to face the […]
The next time Bryan Woo pitches, it will count for real. The Mariners beat the White Sox 2-1 in the next to last game of the preseason. Woo got the start and looked sharp. He needed just 73 pitches to get through his scheduled six innings. He struck out four, walked none, and gave up […]
Four, that’s right, four days to go until the games start meaning to mean! Until then, we’ll have to sate ourselves with whatever kind of scrap of news this is. Uh, alright? Nothing wrong with a little catching depth, I suppose? Korey Lee doesn’t have any options remaining and has had a productive spring, so […]
1904 Bob Elson, who would become the longest-tenured broadcaster in White Sox history, was born in Chicago. Elson graduated from DePaul but became a WGN voice in 1929 almost completely by accident, being pulled into an audition while merely taking a tour of KWK in St. Louis and then WGN snatching him home. He would […]
It’s a good thing that it’s still spring training and not the regular season because this was the type of performance that would’ve resulted in a very rough outing for Reynaldo López had it come in a game that counted. Instead, it’s something to think about with the regular season on the horizon as López […]
For a year-and-a-half starting in 2024, the White Sox ran out one of the worst offenses in modern history. Due to a combination of dumb luck and an influx of young bats, the club climbed out of its hitting tomb and started haunting MLB pitching in the second half last year. Unfortunately, this coming summer […]
If action was what you sought, action you found as prospects of the Dodgers and White Sox engaged in a slugfest to wrap up Saturday evening on one of five MLB Spring Breakout games on the docket. Despite trailing 8-2 at one point in the middle of the second inning, the Dodgers crawled back for […]
Dodgers major leaguers are done with the Arizona portion of spring training, but there’s one more game at Camelback Ranch, with Dodgers prospects taking on White Sox prospects in the spring breakout game. Spring breakout game info
Among two games that won’t count, the more interesting contest pits top White Sox prospects at the top Dodgers prospects, held conveniently enough at Camelback Ranch. Ostensibly this roster represents the top players in every organization, and thus it stands to reason that the best at each position are starting in this game. See if […]
Diamondbacks News Soroka Sharp Against SoxMichael Soroka looked to be in mid-season form in his final spring outing. The bounce back candidate had a strong outing against the lowly White Sox as he made his case for a place in the rotation. Diamondbacks Game Pushed BackAt this point, it is mostly a reminder that all […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers are making a farce of the league. After winning back-to-back championships on the back of impossibly stacked rosters, they gave the best free agent on the market almost as much guaranteed money over the next four years than the White Sox, Guardians, and Marlins’ entire 2026 team payrolls combined. It is […]
1900 After a meeting with the Chicago Orphans (Cubs), the way was cleared for Charles Comiskey to bring his team from St. Paul, Minn. to Chicago. They would set up shop on the South Side of the city, as required by the Orphans. (In truth, Comiskey was bringing the team to town regardless of whether the north siders approved. […]
After two late games last night, the White Sox are back for a single afternoon game here in the home stretch of the Cactus League. Many games have been pushed back to night due to the wild heat wave (104° at game time in Peoria, Ariz. last night!), but today both clubs will have to […]
