The White Sox MVP is Tristan Peters
Man. What a season so far, huh? The Chicago White Sox are 36-31 after Wednesday’s victory over the Atlanta Braves. They’re in first place in the AL Central. They have a real chance of competing for a playoff spot. There’s plenty of praise to go around the White Sox locker room. Munetaka Murakami’s power. Miguel […]
Today in White Sox History: June 11
1918 Lefty Williams followed teammate Joe Jackson and batterymate Byrd Lynn by leaving the White Sox and going to work in the Navy shipyards in Chicago. Williams’ status had been adjusted to make him eligible for the military draft, and volunteering for domestic service in the war effort was a way to avoid being shipped […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 10, 2026
Oklahoma City Comets 10, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights (35-30) are off to a rough start this week, dropping the first two games in their series against the Comets (37-27). The Comets are proving that they still have plenty of weapons despite releasing White Sox legend Seby Zavala on June 5. Knights starter Jonathan Cannon, 25, […]
First place feels pretty good: White Sox edge Braves, 2-1
Well, look who’s sitting atop the American League Central. Behind six gritty innings from Davis Martin, another electric performance from Braden Montgomery, and a lockdown bullpen, the White Sox knocked off the mighty Braves. The win pushed the Sox into first place, and if you’re keeping score at home, that’s consecutive nights of making one […]
Game Thread: Braves (45-22) at White Sox (35-31)
Still buzzing from last night? Yeah, me too. So let’s just run it back for fun! Braden Montgomery’s big-league debut last night was just about perfect. The kid showed up, swung big, and helped grab the W in one of the wildest wins of the year. He’s right back in there tonight, hitting fifth, as […]

Braden Montgomery blasts walk-off home run in major league debut
Wow. What an incredible game from the South Siders, who never gave up regardless of how many times their safety squeeze failed to score a run, or how many home runs Matt Olson hit against them (two, by the way). This game had everything: solid pitching, drama, home runs, extra innings, an extended hit streak, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 9, 2026
Oklahoma City Comets 6, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (35-29) managed to jump out to a 3-0 lead, then watched it all go up in smoke as Oklahoma City stormed back for the win. Charlotte struck first in the second inning, manufacturing a run without the benefit of a hit after Ryan Galanie led off with […]
Game Thread: Braves (45-21) at White Sox (34-31)
Looking to move on from a disappointing series loss in Philadelphia, the White Sox (34-31) return to Chicago for a tough six-game home stand against both the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers — two of the top three teams in MLB. First up is Atlanta (45-21), which has been a standout since the […]
The Braden Montgomery era begins on the South Side
The future keeps arriving on the South Side. Prior to Tuesday night’s series opener, before the Braves roll in, the White Sox officially selected the contract of Braden Montgomery from Triple-A Charlotte. One of the most hyped call-ups of this whole rebuild is now, at last, real. Montgomery, No. 2 in Chicago’s system and No. […]
White Sox Weekly: June 1-7, 2026
Last week, we turned the page to a new month. The White Sox hit the road for their sixth road trip of the year. Instead of building off of a 6-1 home stand, they dropped four of six. June was always going to be a tough month for this South Side squad. The month started […]
Now that the White Sox are a major league-worthy team again, can we pleeeeease have a major league-worthy TV announcing team?
First of all, an important qualification. I am a big Steve Stone fan and don’t want to see him replaced, but Stoney is 78 and even though he’s under contract for several more years, that contract seems to only require he participate when it’s particularly convenient for him. Like as not, you turn on the […]
Today in White Sox History: June 9
1947 In a game at Comiskey Park against the Yankees, a fan held up the contest for nearly an hour while he argued a call with one of the umpires. That’s right … a fan! The Sox would eventually win the game, 9-8, in 10 innings, scoring seven unanswered runs to pull it off. Jake Jones’ single scored Floyd […]

Today in White Sox History: June 8
1908 Here’s all you need to know about how close the pennant race started, as in just four days, with four wins, the White Sox leaped from sixth in the American League to a tie for first place. All in all these wins came as part of a 13-game winning streak that still stands as […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 7, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Durham Bulls 5To close out the series, the Knights (35-28) defeated the Bulls (24-39), 12-5, for the sixth game in a row to begin June with a sweep, also extending Charlotte’s dominance over Durham to 9-0 this season. Both teams posted 11 hits, but the Knights had ample opportunities with runners in […]
Sox sink in the Marsh, drop 9-5 series finale to Phillies
Has there ever been an MLB game in which a run was scored in all 17 or 18 half-innings of play? If there has, it wasn’t this one, but it sure felt like it for a few innings there. Brandon Marsh’s scorching-hot series and season continued in the final game of the three-game set between […]
Game Thread: White Sox (34-30) at Phillies (34-30)
The magic gets a little more real with every victory. Both kinds of magic, that is — the floating feeling of giddiness that gets sprinkled over a fanbase as the beginning of something possibly special unfolds in front of them, and the wanded magic of the Mike Vasil variety. The latter seemed to have a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 6, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Durham Bulls 5Thank heaven for the Durham, who once again submitted to Charlotte, improving the Knights record to 34-28. The Bulls are now 0-8 this season vs. Charlotte, so the quick math tells you that the Knights would be a losing team without the help of Tampa’s Triple-A affiliate. The heroes in […]
White Sox give the Phillies the willies, 6-3
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. But the South Siders’ 6-3 win today at Philadelphia being good helped, too. The White Sox scored four runs in the first inning, thanks to a combination of the inability of Phils starter Andrew Painter to figure out where the ball was going and a wee tad […]
Game Thread: White Sox (33-30) at Phillies (34-29)
One of Hawk Harrelson’s (many) favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” It’s both, of course, but at least Hawk was half-right in this case. The “when you play ’em” part is a split for the White Sox against the Phillies — the unlucky part being that the Phils […]
The White Sox offense is a beautiful balance of the classic and modern
Inside the Chicago White Sox, there are two wolves. The first is the three true outcome wolf. The South Side Smashing Machine is currently fifth in team slugging, ninth in on-base percentage and fourth in strikeouts. The latter is frustrating at times, as evidenced when Ozzie Guillén’s frustrations boiled over with Colson Montgomery after Wednesday’s […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 5, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Durham Bulls 3Eager to post double-digit runs for the third straight night, Dru Baker got the night started with his sixth bomb this season against his former team to break open the game in the third: Your browser does not support the video tag. Charlotte and Durham traded three runs apiece over […]
Anthony Kay, White Sox defense struggle in loss to Phillies
The game was played on Friday, but the Chicago White Sox certainly made it look like a “Throwback Thursday” in an 8-6 loss in the opening game of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. It started out well for the White Sox, as they struck first in the second inning thanks to a two-out rally. […]
Game Thread: White Sox (33-29) at Phillies (33-29)
Unfortunately for the Chicago White Sox, the month of June did not start off as well as May ended. Now is where the real dog days of the MLB season may or may not catch up with the South Siders. The next 12 games for the White Sox come against four clubs with a combined […]
