Game Thread: White Sox (46-42) at Guardians (47-43) (first pitch delayed by rain)
I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m on a payment plan for my taxes this year. It’s almost done, and not particularly bad — just another bill at the end of the month. Except for several months now, I’ve been paying a different kind of bill at the end of each week, one […]
Today in White Sox History: July 5
1910 In the seventh game ever played there, Comiskey Park saw its first wild pitch and first extra-inning game. The White Sox lost, 6-5, in 10 innings. Joe Lake of the Browns and Chicago’s Jim Scott both threw wild pitches in the game. A total of 5,200 fans showed up on a Tuesday makeup game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 4, 2026
We never really did a rundown of the first-half finishes for the full-season affiliates, so while we’re about 10 games into the second half, a quick look at how things ended up in the first half: Charlotte Knights 8, Memphis Redbirds 6As they say, you can’t stop the Charlotte Knights (46-40), you can only hope […]
White Sox pick up a big win in Cleveland to get back to a tie for first
After two nights of being walked off, the White Sox reversed course, pushing to a 3-1 lead late and then locking the win up with zero drama. In the process, Sean Burke dazzled through six with a career-high strikeout night, Colson Montgomery celebrated a year since his debut by putting two of the three runs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-42) at Guardians (47-42)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one fan base to dissolve the contractual bands which have connected them with their bullpen, and to assume, among the powers of baseball, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s commissioner entitle them — first place in […]
Today in White Sox History: July 4
1911Ty Cobb brought a 40-game hit streak into a game facing Ed Walsh, and the White Sox sace shut him down at 0-for-4 in a 7-3 win over the Tigers. Walsh earned his 14th win and chiseled his ERA down to 0.55 (!). Interestingly, he gave up 10 hits in his complete-game win — just […]
Weather delay, Seranthony Domínguez doom White Sox
After both the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox had no issues scoring last night, there was no doubt that this game would be much more likely to end as a pitcher’s duel. True to form, the game ended up being exactly what most fans expected — until a rain delay changed the fortunes of […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 3, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 4, Charlotte Knights 3 (11 innings)The Knights and Redbirds were locked in fierce competition, but Memphis came out on top. The evening started quickly but died soon after. Edgar Quero must’ve read my June White Sox checkup and took my critiques of him personally, because his first home run with the Knights since […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-41) at Guardians (46-42)
Although the Chicago White Sox went 6-3 over nine games heading into their series with the Cleveland Guardians, a Chicago loss in the opening game draws the two teams even atop the AL Central. With three games left to go, someone will be leaving this series with a lead in the divisional race. Last night, […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Miguel Vargas is your MVP
It was, admittedly, an impossible question: Who is the White Sox first-half MVP? With an impressive eight players hovering at least at the 2.0 WAR-level (i.e. “starter” value for a full season) and no absolute standout as the clear MVP for the early season, our survey dished out many options. The results were a little […]
Today in White Sox History: July 3
1901 With a 4-3 win in 11 innings at Cleveland, the White Sox won their 10th straight game, which remains one of only 15 double-figure win streaks in franchise history. The club was swept in an Independence Day doubleheader the next day. In this, their first year in the major leagues, the White Sox won […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 2, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 8, Charlotte Knights 6The Knights (45-39) let a three-run lead slip away after surrendering five unanswered runs late in the game. David Sandlin got tagged for a solo shot in the first but otherwise kept things respectable, earning a quality start by tossing six innings and allowing three runs on six hits. The […]
With the division on the line, the White Sox fall 6-5 in the series opener
In a close game, the White Sox battled late, but sloppy baserunning, poor pitching, and a walk-off home run from Brayan Rocchio gave the Guardians the win. The White Sox fell 6-5 in the first of four games in Cleveland, one neither team necessarily deserved to win. A few singles and a lot of bad […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-40) at Guardians (45-42)
Between the White Sox losing and the Guardians winning yesterday, the division rivals sit atop the AL Central, with the Guardians just one game back in second place. The White Sox did win their first road series since May 3, but they will also need to win at least three of the four games in […]

June 2026 White Sox checkup: Raising the floor, chasing the ceiling
June was everything you expect from summer in Chicago. The White Sox feasted on the AL Central’s collapse and picked up a few unexpected wins during the East Coast road trip. While there are many strong takeaways from June, a gap still hasn’t been fully patched. The Sox don’t need Munetaka Murakami, and they don’t […]
Today in White Sox History: July 2
1909 The White Sox ran wild and set a club record in an unusual 15-3 romp over St. Louis, stealing 11 bases including three steals of home and three double-steals. White Sox third baseman Bill Purtell led the way, with three swipes. Eight different Sox players stole a base in the game! 1910 The White Sox won their first game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 1, 2026
Charlotte Knights 2, Memphis Redbirds 0 (8 innings)The Knights (45-38) won a tight, low-scoring game to even the series in Memphis against the Redbirds (49-34). This game was all about Charlotte’s pitching staff, which was uncharacteristically dominant against Memphis. The 2026 season has been a rough one for Jonathan Cannon, but Cannon was terrific in […]
Dick Allen’s legacy remembered
Once upon a time, the Chicago White Sox endured a dreadful season, losing more than 100 games, finishing an appalling 42 games out of first place in the division, and drawing less than 500,000 fans all season. From the doldrums, the team ascended from Baseball Hell and re-established the White Sox as a competitive team, […]
Orioles rally past White Sox, 6-1, to avoid sweep
The South Siders couldn’t quite handle the Baltimore heat this afternoon. Their pitching melted down, and the bats were stagnant, as they mustered only four hits off O’s starter Dean Kremer. With the game-time temperature hitting 100°, Sam Antonacci wasted no time turning up the thermostat himself, starting things off with a bang and sending […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-39) at Orioles (39-48)
The White Sox are staring down their first road sweep of the year, with an 11:35 a.m. CT breakfast special in Baltimore. They’ve already bagged their first road series win since the Padres in early May, and now the South Siders have a shot to roll into Cleveland with some road win momentum. Noah Schultz, […]

Today in White Sox History: July 1
1905 White Sox pitcher Frank Owen won both games of a doubleheader at St. Louis, 3-2 and 2-0. In both games he went the distance, and only allowed the Browns seven total hits for the afternoon. It was the first time in American League history that this milestone was accomplished, and Owen remains one of only 10 […]
White Sox win first road series since May with 9-3 beatdown in Baltimore
In back-to-back nights, the offense scored eight or more runs while the pitching staff maintained its command, as the White Sox secured their first road series win since the May 1 series in San Diego after beating the Orioles, 9-3. His ERA didn’t improve much (4.41), but Erick Fedde was solid enough tonight to earn […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 30, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 10, Charlotte Knights 5The Knights (44-38) faceplanted out of the gate. Dustin Harris tried to set the tone with a solo shot to open the game, but that lead was gone and fast. Mason Adams got shelled for five runs in the bottom of the first, then two more in the second, and […]
