The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
Charlotte Knights at Nashville Sounds — Postponed due to weatherThe Knights and Sounds will pick back up Sunday at 1:05 p.m. CT, and Saturday’s makeup will be announced at a later date. Birmingham Barons 6, Knoxville Smokies 2 (Gameday Box)The Birmingham Barons (1-1) scooped up their first win of the season Saturday, defeating their north […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Double-A Birmingham Barons have been the brightest spot in the Chicago White Sox organization over these last few dreadful seasons, winning their second consecutive Southern League championship in 2025. This season will have a mix of familiar faces alongside some recent free agent signings, but it’s likely we’ll see some fluctuation throughout the season […]
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 […]
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 […]
Fun fact: Originally, baseball games did not have a set length. The early Knickerbockers matches were “first-to-21,” like pickup basketball. The decision to switch to a set length was made at the 1857 national base ball (two words) convention. The convention initially decided on seven innings, but thanks to the efforts of Gothams/Knickerbockers slugger and […]
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 […]
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. With changes needed, Guillermo Quiroz (who […]
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 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 […]
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 Kannapolis Cannon Ballers should be one of the more intriguing stops in the system this season. Not necessarily because they’re built to dominate the Carolina League, but because of what they represent. This is what the early stages of a rebuild actually look like. A roster packed with teenagers, recent draftees, and projection players […]
Last week, the WNBA established a historic seven-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that will run through 2032, paving the way for astronomical league growth. In what will be marked as one of the biggest breakthroughs in women’s professional sports, the WNBA has proven that league growth, competitive parity and expansion are not mutually exclusive. MLB, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
