The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
The White Sox go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026. Sean Burke draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of […]
1920 At Griffith Stadium in Washington, the White Sox set the team record for the most runs ever scored in an extra inning. In the 16th inning, they were able to score eight times to beat the Senators, 13-5. The Senators made nine errors on the day, leading to nine unearned runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Red […]
Just when you’re sure the letdown is coming, they find a way to keep doing it. After dropping a sleepy one last night, the White Sox were on the verge of dropping another sleepy one in Seattle this evening, trailing 1-0 from the moment the game opened all the way until they had just two […]
Charlotte Knights 5, Gwinnett Stripers 4The Knights (23-23) blasted their way to an early five-run cushion, then survived a late Gwinnett rally for a close win thanks to another shutdown appearance from Ben Peoples. Jonathan Cannon turned in a solid start despite some wild command, allowing just one run over five innings while working around […]
Now that everyone has had a day to settle, and the adrenaline from the wild swings of the Crosstown Cup’s first leg has mostly subsided, it’s time to get back to thinking about what our expectations should be for this South Side team moving forward. For the first time in however many years, I now […]
As quickly as spring came and went, the White Sox leapt from horrendous to… fun? I’m not talking fun in the lovable loser type of way that the North Siders affectionately refer to their tribe, and not in the way a little league parent earnestly cheers for their kid, knowing they’re about to do a […]
Wow! This is being written May 18, more than a quarter of the way through the 2026 season, and the White Sox are two games over .500 for the first time since September, 2022, and better yet, they just took a series from the Evildoers of the North Side in spectacular fashion! Wow, indeed! Why […]
1904 In front of just 1,000 fans in Washington, rookie Ed Walsh tossed his first complete game and shutout, blanking the Senators, 5-0, on just two hits. The win moved Walsh to 2-0 on the season. As the season wore on, Walsh would fill a sort of “closer” role for the White Sox, starting eight […]
Just like the rest of us, the White Sox had to get up on Monday and go to work, and just like most of us, they played with some lethargy after a possibly overstimulating weekend, dropping a quiet 6-1 loss to the Mariners on Monday night to open a six-game West Coast swing. It drops […]
Whew, baby! Exhale everyone, and take the remainder of this pregame to rest on the laurels of an electric Crosstown conclusion that was almost certainly the best such series from a South Side perspective since 2021’s roller coaster three-gamer at then-Guaranteed Rate Field. That one, you might remember, was also characterized by a lopsided win […]
We are now in the second half of May, and the White Sox are two games better than .500. No, you did not read that wrong. No, you are not dreaming. This is real life. The South Siders have been on a journey to .500 the last few weeks, and they finally accomplished the goal […]

1902 White Sox pitcher Nixey Callahan became the first player in MLB history to record five hits from the No. 9 spot in the batting order. The feat came in a 17-inning, 2-2 tie with St. Louis. For good measure, Callahan duplicated the feat less than one year later, in a 13-12 loss to the […]
Charlotte Knights 15, Norfolk Tides 3The Knights (22-23) bats exploded for 15 hits, scoring as many runs to defeat the Tides (18-27) and split this week’s series. Duncan Davitt made his seventh start of the season, and though he’s held an elevated ERA of more than seven, he was able to lower it slightly today […]
It’s a good thing Miguel Vargas is currently playing like he wants to wear an All-Star jersey in a couple of months, because something tells me the White Sox won’t be getting anything else in return for Erick Fedde when he departs the rotation this time around. Despite what wound up being a cathartic, 9-8 […]
On June 9, 2008, the world’s eyes were trained on Steve Jobs as he got up on a stage to announce the release of the iPhone 3G, the first “new model year” of what we didn’t know at the time was the most important technological innovation of the 21st century. A little under three weeks […]

1912 The White Sox win their first game ever played at Fenway Park, 5-2. The matchup was the first among the early titans of the season, with the White Sox coming to Boston at 21-6 and the Red Sox in second place in the AL, at 16-8. The game didn’t turn out to look like […]
Norfolk Tides 11, Charlotte Knights 10Despite their bats being on fire, Charlotte’s (21-23) pitching imploded and ultimately gave up 11 runs on 13 hits, which was enough for the Tides (18-26) to prevail, 11-10. The entire Knights lineup posted at least one hit Saturday, and half of the 14 hits were for extra bases. On […]
Mars might consider rebranding their famous M&M’s candy to M&M&M&M. Davis Martin, Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery set the tone early and never looked back in the Chicago White Sox landslide 8-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs, and it was mightily sweet. Davis Martin Right off the jump, Davis Martin sat the Cubs […]
Well, well, well, if it wasn’t for those meddling Chicago Cubs and our bullpen explosion, we would have come away with a victory last night. Not even a Scooby Doo reference can dull the late innings of yesterday’s ballgame; however, the Chicago White Sox have a new game in front of them this evening, with […]
1900 White Sox player-manager Dick Padden was clubbed over the head with a bat during a fight in the third inning at Detroit. The fracas started with the White Sox up, 4-2, after an uncalled balk by Chicago pitcher Chauncey Fisher that was then reversed under protest by the Tigers, scoring a run for Detroit. […]
Charlotte Knights 4, Norfolk Tides 1Charlotte’s four-spot in the third carried the team to another modest win. Michael Turner and LaMonte Wade Jr. hit back-to-back bombs, and Korey Lee followed up with a single that plated the remaining two runs. The Knights needed six arms to get the job done. Hagen Smith is still settling […]
What’s that viral quote referenced in Ted Lasso time and time again? “It’s the hope that kills you?” Unfortunately, White Sox fans know that all too well, although even hope has been hard to come by in recent years. In those recent years, the moment the White Sox fell behind the game was virtually over. […]
Riding high off a five-game winning streak and a recent of the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox are better than .500 for the first time in a long time and currently hold a Wild Card spot in the American League. Although we’re only halfway through the month of May, the good vibes are […]
