“This is our cup of coffee in the big leagues”
The Empty Pockets love music. That might seem redundant to say about a band, but many musicians are joyless about their art. Not the Chicago-based quartet, who have a new album coming out and are getting ready for a tour. Their music pulls from dozens of influences to create something both familiar and brand new, […]
2026 Chicago White Sox Posteason Advisory
For the first time in five years, we are publishing a postseason advisory released by the White Sox. (Yes, it has been five years.) This is your postseason game day guide, not only for the ALDS but the balance of the postseason. The White Sox have provided information specific to the postseason opener on October […]
White Sox push Williams to the limit, Guardians to the brink
Gavin Williams brought the heat. The White Sox eventually ran up the bill. For five innings, the Cleveland righthander made Chicago’s lineup look mostly overmatched, piling up strikeouts while the South Siders strung together missed opportunities. But Williams’ pitches had an expiration date, and when he finally handed the ball over in the sixth, the […]
Game Thread: White Sox at Guardians ALDS Game 2
The White Sox have already taken over home-field advantage. Now, how about stealing Cleveland’s peace of mind? After sweeping the Astros out of the Wild Card Series, the South Siders blazed into Cleveland and grabbed Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday. Grant Taylor supplied four scoreless frames of absolute filth, while Munetaka Murakami launched […]
Today in White Sox History: October 5
1908 White Sox pitcher Ed Walsh won his 40th game of the season, as he beat Detroit, 6-1. It was a crucial win for the team, staving off pennant elimination and drawing the South Siders to within a half-game of the first-place Tigers. With the Naps splitting their final games of the season in a doubleheader with St. […]
Three players the White Sox should avoid arbitration with at all costs
The curtain hasn’t closed on the White Sox yet this season, but it’s never too early to start thinking about the 2027 season-to-be-or-not-to-be. Entering next year with a payroll in the bottom third among all MLB teams and with a sizable pool of Triple-A talent to pull from, Chicago enters arbitration negotiations in an advantageous […]
Mune shot and bullpen power give White Sox 3-0 win over Guardians
Cleveland ace Parker Messick made one mistake, hanging a sinker to Munetaka Murakami on the first pitch of his at-bat in the fourth, with Miguel Vargas on base, and 111 mph and 440 feet later the White Sox had a 2-0 lead. It’s definitely a moment worth savoring: That would turn out to be all […]
Game Thread: White Sox at Guardians ALDS Game 1
It’s showdown at high noon (Central), as two teams that played as even a regular season series as can be match up in an American League Division Series. The White Sox won the season series, 7-6, with seven of the games being determined by one run, and only one by more than three. The teams […]
He doesn’t like Cleveland
There’s a song that just came out called “Cleveland.” No, it isn’t the one you might be thinking of. It’s not the one by the most successful singer in the world, who has been rich and famous for decades. You know, the one all about how people don’t like her and how she’s an “acquired […]
How to Watch the ALDS: White Sox at Guardians
The White Sox have some momentum after a two-game sweep of the Houston Astros in the Wild Card Round, and will bring their heat east to Cleveland in beginning the best-of-five ALDS against the Guardians. Once again, the White Sox are not a prime-time draw, most immediately ceding viewership eyes to the other ALDS series […]
Wild Card roundup: White Sox sweep while Cubs sleep
Three sweeps, one series going the distance and the White Sox still playing baseball in October. That’s a pretty good start to the postseason. The South Siders sent Houston packing for their first postseason series win in 21 years, while the Yankees steamrolled Boston and the Padres shut down the North Side’s supposedly mighty offense. […]
Chase Meidroth shuts the ’stros down
It is already being called one of the most momentous home runs in White Sox postseason history, and now BreakingT has commemorated Chase Meidroth’s three-run blast in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card series in T-shirt form: What a moment! And the definitive image to mark the first White Sox postseason series victory in […]
Chase Meidroth seals a series sweep for the White Sox
Good things are happening for the White Sox. Recently, Pope Leo XIV was asked if he had anything to do with the team’s turnaround. The Pope declined to comment before saying, “Good things happen in Chicago,” and he is absolutely correct. The White Sox secured a spot in the ALDS with a 7-3 victory over […]
Game Thread: White Sox at Astros, AL Wild Card Game 2
The White Sox (84-78) got off to a great start to the postseason with a 6-3 victory, and they hold a 1-0 series lead over the Astros (81-81). Sean Burke, 26, will start on the mound for the South Siders. Burke posted a 3.36 ERA and a 3.62 FIP in 172 1/3 regular season innings. […]
Houston may have a problem as White Sox outlast Astros, 6-3
Postseason baseball never disappoints, and tonight’s game in Houston was no different. As both teams leveraged an opener for the first time in MLB playoff history, the South Side pitching won out in the end, as Chicago ends the day with a 1-0 lead over Houston in the AL Wild Card series after a 6-3 […]
Game Thread: White Sox at Astros, AL Wild Card Game 1
Just two years ago, the Chicago White Sox etched 121 losses in the record books to mark the worst MLB season in modern history. Fast forward through another turbulent season in 2025, and the South Siders suffered three straight 100-loss seasons, albeit with a more positive second half as several of the organization’s promising prospects […]
How to Watch: White Sox at Astros, Wild Card Series
Yes, the White Sox did end up snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory by falling from the No. 2 seed into the No. 6 and final Wild Card spot at the end of the season, and their punishment is extreme: Having to spend additional time in Texas. Worse, due to the compressed nature […]
Today in White Sox History: September 28
1902 For the second game of a doubleheader at Sportsman’s Park, the Browns and White Sox used the last day of the season to throw all non-pitchers in their game. White Sox left fielder Sam Mertes got the 10-4 win, beating St. Louis left fielder Jesse Burkett. First baseman Frank Isbell was the “opener” for […]
White Sox wrap 84-win season with 4-2 home win over Rockies
That’s a wrap, folks! 84 wins, 78 losses. By the end of 2025, it was at least theoretically possible to squint and see the bones of an 80-ish win team in 2026. but having actually gotten there, I almost don’t know what to say. This game was superfluous, but for some reason, 84 is a […]
Game Thread: Rockies (58-103) at White Sox (83-78)
Maybe it’s counterintuitive, but this is the happiest game thread I’ve written all year. You’d think there would be a bit of a letdown, going from what could have been the most dramatic Game 162 in team history to what amounts to a meaningless tune-up game. That’s not the important part. My Sunday coverage meant […]
Today in White Sox History: September 27
1905 Simply put, this was the craziest doubleheader in White Sox history. In the opener in Boston, the American Bill Dineen no-hit the South Siders, 2-0, at the soggy Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds. Ironically, Dineen had sat out all of September with a sore arm. It marked the second time ever that the White Sox […]
White Sox lost the game and the division in one fell swoop
Cleveland cruising past a pitcher in Kansas City’s Michael Wacha who had owned them largely winnowed any chance the White Sox would have to finish with a late kick to win the AL Central. However, the White Sox ended any chance of extending the division drama to Sunday by getting off to a rocky start […]
Game Thread: Rockies (57-103) at White Sox (83-77)
With just two games left in the regular season, time is running short to tie (i.e., catch) the Cleveland Guardians for first place in the AL Central and the associated free pass to the ALDS via the American League’s No. 2 seed. Naturally, that makes tonight’s final night game of the regular season a must-win […]
I am Japaneeeeeeese!
Munetaka Murakami has been a bit of a viral sensation from the start of his career in the United States, from the installation of bidets in the White Sox clubhouse to the on-base gestures of his teammates, and on from there. His latest bit of endearing hilarity came during the White Sox clubhouse celebration in […]
BreakingT does the math!
With the remarkable achievement of the 2026 Chicago White Sox — making the postseason after three straight 100-loss seasons, something that’s not been accomplished even after “just” two straight 100-loss seasons — BreakingT has gear for you that breaks down the math! There is even a nod to Mike Vasil’s magic wand. If there’s any […]
