South Side Sox Reacts: The Chris Getz report card
We had already published one writer’s assessment of the 2026 trade deadline job GM Chris Getz did, in the immediate aftermath of the deadline, but this week we’ve handed the report card over to you. Unsurprisingly, or perhaps validating for that SSS writer, is that you came up with the same letter grade: Checks out. […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 8, 2026
Durham Bulls 9, Charlotte Knights 6Both the Bulls (52-60) and the Knights (61-52) tallied 11 hits apiece, but the Charlotte pitching struggled with control, with eight combined walks to just seven strikeouts. Lefthander Tommy Vail has had a rough season thus far in his 14 outings (24 1/3 IP), holding a 10.73 ERA with a […]
Late-game offense, web-gem defense bring South Side victory on Ozzie Guillén Day
After dropping the opening game of this fight for first place yesterday, the White Sox honored Ozzie Guillén in his No. 13 retirement ceremony this afternoon — and that turned out to be a perfect time to bounce back and complement the ceremonies with a win. Win they did, in decisive, 6-3 fashion. And it […]
Ozzie Guillén thanks family, Venezuela and South Side faithful in number retirement ceremony
With “OZZIE 13” spelled out across the pinwheels in center field, the number “13” shaded into the infield dirt right at the shortstop position, and chairs in front of the White Sox dugout down the third base line, the stage was set for Ozzie Guillén’s number retirement ceremony. Chuck Garfien opened the ceremony, welcoming former […]
Game Thread: It’s Ozzie Day!
Perhaps it’s appropriate that such a fiery and tumultuous personality as Ozzie Guillén will have his No. 13 jersey retired by the White Sox on the heels of Chicago’s first four-game losing streak of the season. You almost have to wonder whether Ozzie will ask to speak to the team before he hits the field […]
Breaking: Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal called up to Chicago
In a bit of top pitching prospect musical chairs, word broke early Saturday morning that Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal were getting the call to the South Side, with fellow rookies Noah Schultz and David Sandlin heading down to Charlotte. White Sox sources confirmed the news to multiple outlets, with Future Sox first getting the […]
Today in White Sox History: August 8
1914 The White Sox purchased the contract of outfielder Oscar “Happy” Felsch from Milwaukee for $19,000. Felsch, an outstanding glove man and hitter, would become part of history with his participation in the 1919 Black Sox scandal. 1976 With the White Sox in last place and going nowhere, owner Bill Veeck pulled out another wacky promotion: For the first […]
Venable’s gaffe keys 8-2 Chisox setback
Those who believe managers don’t win or lose games, players do, clip and save this recap. In a move we would have thought cordoned off in the Terry Bevington Hall of Shame, manager Will Venable triggered a puzzling chain of circumstances that saw starting pitcher Noah Schultz bounced from his Friday night start after just […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 7, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Durham Bulls 4The Knights evened their series against the Bulls in a contest that came down to the late innings. Shut out through the sixth, Charlotte cycled through four pitchers, all held on short leashes. After feeling the sting of old friends Oliver Dunn and Blake Sabol driving in a pair of […]
Game Thread: Guardians (57-59) at White Sox (59-55)
After getting swept in a three-game series to the Boston Red-Handed Cheaters (seriously, does anyone believe they’ve gone 26-3 over their last 29 games legitimately?), the Chicago White Sox now find themselves in a dogfight in the AL Central. For most of the season, the race has been between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago, and […]

1910 White Sox pitcher Ed Walsh fired the first shutout in the original Comiskey Park, when he blanked Washington, 4-0. He allowed only two hits and struck out 10 in the game. Senators outfielder William “Wid” Conroy got both of the hits off of Walsh that afternoon. 1932 With a 1-0 loss in the second game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 6, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Durham Bulls 5White Sox fans dreaming of Shane Smith as the 2026 rotation savior, you might want to look away. Not happening. The 2025 All-Star got shelled for three runs in the first, two more in the fifth, and that was the night. Fortunately for him, the bats bailed him out. They […]
White Sox lose a 13-inning heartbreaker in Boston
I guess you can say the White Sox refused to go down without a fight, but the Red Sox wouldn’t die. In a 13-inning game that lasted more than four hours, the White Sox fell short in the finale in Boston, falling victim to a late-night sweep. Luis Castillo debuted with a much-needed nine-pitch inning […]
Game Thread: White Sox (59-54) at Red Sox (62-51)
As someone who has been to Boston and Fenway, I can say both are lovely. When I was there, the White Sox won, so I was able to leave happy. Unfortunately, this series has me so excited about the White Sox getting the hell out of there because it’s been nothing short of a disaster. […]
Today in White Sox History: August 6
1936 Twelve years before breaking a major-league record (see below), Luke Appling started a 27-game hit streak with a 2-for-5 game in a 9-6 win over at St. Louis in a doubleheader opener. Appling went 1-for-3 in a nightcap win over the Browns, and wouldn’t stop hitting for the rest of August. Appling’s streak was […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 5, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Durham Bulls 1 (7 innings, Game 1)The Knights (59-50) got out to a strong start in the doubleheader against Durham (50-58). In the bottom of the second, Korey Lee doubled with one out, and he advanced to third on a ground out by Tim Elko. That set the stage for Mario Camilletti, […]
Sean Burke keeps Chicago close, but the offense never gives him a chance
The White Sox spent the night flailing and failing at the plate. The Good Guys mustered just four hits, struck out 14 times, and had a 1-for-5 showing with runners in scoring position. The offense was flat as a pancake from the first pitch to the last. Sonny Gray cruised through six innings, and after […]
Game Thread: White Sox (59-53) at Red Sox (61-51)
The White Sox want to put Tuesday’s 14-2 Beantown beatdown behind them, and they’ll do so by turning things over to their hottest starter. Last night was a five-alarm pitching disaster: Davis Martin was apparently tipping his pitches and, as a result, got smoked for nine runs over five innings. Enter Sean Burke (7-5, 3.04 […]
Today in White Sox History: August 5
1925 Southpaw Dickie Kerr, a two-game winner as a rookie in the 1919 World Series for the White Sox but inactive since 1921, was reinstated from the voluntarily-retired list in an attempted comeback at age 32. Kerr will pitch in just 12 games, to a 5.15 ERA, and retire for good after the season. After […]

White Sox get beat down in Beantown, 14-2
The White Sox (59-53) folded on offense and waved the white flag on the mound as the Red Sox (61-51) rolled to a 14-2 victory in Tuesday’s series opener, outhitting Chicago, 15-6. Davis Martin floundered through five innings while Patrick Sandoval worked smoothly through the South Siders despite struggling with his control, earning the W […]
Roch gets rolling
It’s go time for Roch Cholowsky. After being selected first overall by the White Sox, Cholowsky officially began his professional career with Winston-Salem on Tuesday night. He started at shortstop and batted second for the Dash, reaching base once via a walk in five plate appearances. It wasn’t much, but there were definitely some […]
Game Thread: White Sox (59-52) at Red Sox (60-51)
Both the White and Red Sox were active at Monday’s trade deadline as they chase their respective division titles. A three-game set on the road in Boston will be a good test for the South Siders against high-quality competition in a tough atmosphere away from home, giving a taste of what the playoffs could potentially […]
