The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
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 […]
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 […]
