The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
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 […]
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 […]
The White Sox served the Marlins their first loss of the season Monday night, and perhaps righthander Erick Fedde can carry that momentum into his first start of the season; anything that will make us all forget about the first three losses of the year. Fedde is back with the South Siders after being traded […]
The Winston-Salem Dash finished 56–74 in 2025, falling way short of a postseason berth. The Dash scored 580 runs (4.46 per game) and allowed 629 (4.84 per game). Among the 12 teams in the South Atlantic League, Winston-Salem ranked fifth in runs scored but just 11th in runs allowed. Guillermo Quiroz, who managed the Double-A […]

1963 Almost a year to the day after setting a Payne Park attendance record of 5,712, the White Sox and Yankees drew two more fans for a game, setting the all-time mark for White Sox Spring Training at the venue. 1983 Four days before the start of the regular season, the left shoulder of Britt […]
The White Sox scored early and often against the Marlins, getting their first win of 2026 and second grand slam of the season so far. And for the record, there have only been four grand slams in all the major leagues thus far. Before the bigger fireworks, Everson Pereira doubled to kick off the third […]
The winless White Sox will face the undefeated Marlins in Miami tonight to start the second series of the 2026 season. Davis Martin, who had a fair Spring Training, will get his first start of the season. Martin owned an ERA of 3.24, with 13 strikeouts, eight walks, and six earned runs throughout 16 2/3 […]
As disheartening as the opening weekend has been for the White Sox, Charlotte has chiseled out three straight wins, sweeping the customarily-daunting Tampa Bay Rays Triple-A affiliate, the Durham Bulls. And unlike the debauched Opening Night that saw 19 Knights cross the plate, the wins on Saturday and Sunday were nail-biters. Charlotte Knights 2, Durham […]
Brandon Sproat is likely to be a pretty solid big league pitcher. Especially given how the Milwaukee Brewers organization develops arm talent. Today, however, was not that day, even if a late comeback rescued Sproat from a loss in his first start as a Brewer. The 24-year-old righthander’s Milwaukee debut registered as something we’re used […]
To call this an ignominious start to the season, even by White Sox standards, would be doing a disservice to the Oxford English Dictionary on the bookshelf behind me right now. Contemptible; opprobrious, vituperative; truculent; there are plenty of ways that one could sum up getting outscored 20-3 over the first two games of the […]
I bet a few of you would like to revise your preseason picks from last week! After all, few would have forecast a weekend sweep to open the season, even on the road against a formidable Milwaukee team. Sorry though, no take-backs. Yes, we asked you how many wins the White Sox would end up […]
Oh, yeah … MOMENTUM is supposed to be the keyword this season, so … Only lost by five runs instead of 12 … MOMENTUM! Only struck out 11 times instead of 20 … MOMENTUM! Only walked five Brewers instead of 10 … MOMENTUM! Sox pitchers only needed 179 pitches to get through eight innings, instead […]
One of the nice things about baseball is that even if you lose your season opener in a burst of record-setting ineptitude, you get to start Game 2 with the score 0-0. Hoping to make it beyond the 1 2/3 innings Shane Smith lasted in the opener will be righty Sean Burke, who had a […]
Our nightly take on the White Sox minors, more comprehensive than you’ll find anywhere else.
Hey everybody, here’s our clearinghouse for all 162 game recaps this season!
Determined to defy my snarky remarks about their inability to maintain a winning record in the Charlotte season preview, the Knights crashed through the season opening gate in bold fashion, trouncing the Durham Bulls, 19-2. If Charlotte just needs some snide comments to fuel a run rampage, I’m always willing to oblige. Powered by an […]
Welcome back to the Charlotte Knights’ redemption season. Last season didn’t go as expected, as the Knights finished 65-85, the fourth-worst record in the International League East. Despite spending time early in the season with a winning record and flirting with .500 for a while, the club ultimately struggled because the bullpen frequently gave up […]
MLB Spring Training is over, and the 2026 baseball season is upon us! As teams put the final touches on their Opening Day rosters, let’s look at some of the biggest headlines across the league. 10. Grayson Rodriguez starts on the Angels IL The Angels have always struggled with pitching, but missing the ace they […]
1938After losing four straight exhibition games to the Cubs, a Luke Appling home run helps knock off the White Sox rivals, 10-9, in Los Angeles. That was the good news. The bad news came in the ninth inning, when Appling at first base took off on a hit and run, with batter Joe Kuhel fouling […]
Six pitches into Thursday’s season opener, Chase Meidroth attempted to serve notice that this will be a different season for the Chicago White Sox: Unfortunately for the White Sox, they managed just one hit in the first seven innings of the game, and four total. In what would end up as virtually the only highlight […]
Welcome to a new season of Chicago White Sox baseball. As always, we’ll be here to cover all 162 games for you, through bad times and who knows, maybe even some good. I’ve had the honor of covering nine Opening Days now at South Side Sox, with a record of 3-5. Well, at least this […]
Per site tradition, we make our picks and lay them bare for all to see. And this year, 10 of us took on the challenge. Here are our section-by-section picks, which we’ll revisit and tabulate in October to reveal the best and worst. And by all means, feel free to listen on four of our […]
The White Sox made it official ahead of Opening Day: the 26-man roster is set, the last cuts are in, and the 40-man has already taken a couple of hits before a single meaningful pitch is thrown. If you were looking for surprises, you won’t find many, but the IL is already rolling. Brooks Baldwin […]
