Today in White Sox History: June 19
1884 Ill-fated hurler and inventor of the knuckleball, Eddie Cicotte, was born, in Springwells, Mich. Cicotte made his MLB debut in 1905 and was up for good as a major-leaguer in 1908. Four years later, he was swapped to Chicago and saw his career take off. Cicotte’s 11.9 WAR to lead the greatest White Sox […]
South Side Sox Reacts: The White Sox … win the World Series?!?
Writer error (yeah, Brett’s wearing this one) prevented the issuance of our customary White Sox question this week (it concerned the area on the roster to strengthen at the trade deadline), so we’ll table it for a week from now. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t get your national surveys this week, with some fun […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 18, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Buffalo Bisons 0The Charlotte Knights (40-32) picked up a nice victory over the Buffalo Bisons, getting an early spark from the top of the lineup and a dominant effort from the pitching staff. Rikuu Nishida set the tone in the top of the first by refusing to take a called third strike […]
Benintendi grand slam powers White Sox past Yankees, avoids Bronx sweep
Behind an incredible 7 1/3-inning outing from Sean Burke and a grand slam Benny bomb, the White Sox (39-34) evaded the sweep in the Bronx, defeating the Yankees (45-28), 5-1. Both pitchers put on an excellent performance as each allowed a solo home run and struck out eight, but Burke outlasted Ryan Weathers with the […]
Game Thread: White Sox (38-34) at Yankees (45-27)
The White Sox wrap up their series in the Bronx tonight, staring down the barrel of a sweep after getting thumped twice by the Yankees. Chicago will deploy Bryan Hudson as an opener before turning things over to Sean Burke, continuing a tag-team act that has worked, sometimes. Hudson enters with a 3-2 record and […]
Today in White Sox History: June 18
1903 The White Sox badly lost their first trade ever with the Reds, sending Cozy Dolan and Tom Daly to Cincinnati for second baseman George Magoon. Magoon was awful for the White Sox for the remainder of 1903, slashing .228/.303/.278 for 0.0 WAR; before the 1904 season, the team dumped Magoon on Indianapolis of the […]
Bronx bombed as the Yankees tagged White Sox with 10-5 loss
The White Sox owe the Guardians a fruit basket because after another Bronx beatdown, Chicago is barely clinging to first. The Sox got thumped, dropping to 38-34 and torching their positive run differential on the way out. The night started with some promise. Miguel Vargas, still glowing from his MLB Network cameo with Mark DeRosa, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 17, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Buffalo Bisons 1The Knights (39-32) recovered from Tuesday’s loss to even up their series in Buffalo against the Bisons (34-37). After a scoreless first inning, the Knights offense went to work by putting a crooked number on the scoreboard. Nolan Jones drew a leadoff walk, and Ryan Galanie added a single. That […]
Game Thread: White Sox (38-33) at Yankees (44-27)
The White Sox are looking to bounce back from last night’s 12-2 thumping. Standing in their way is an old friend, Carlos Rodón, who has quietly put together another strong, albeit brief, season since returning from left elbow surgery. First, though, the Sox need a solid outing from Anthony Kay. The southpaw’s season has been […]
Today in White Sox History: June 17
1916 Paced by three singles from Joe Jackson, the White Sox stymie Babe Ruth and the Red Sox at Comiskey Park, 5-0. The Pale Hose slapped out 12 hits in Ruth’s eight innings, saddling the Baby Bambino with five earned runs and swelling his ERA from 2.13 to 2.36. Joe Benz pitched five innings for […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 16, 2026
Buffalo Bisons 9, Charlotte Knights 5Another night, more pitching troubles for Charlotte (38-32). At least Kyle Teel showed up with some fireworks, launching a two-run shot in his first rehab at-bat and finishing 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. That early jolt? Gone in a flash, as Noah Schultz walked his first batter and […]
Yankees clobber White Sox in series opener, 12-2
Well, that’s not how you want to start a road trip after going against two of the best teams in all of baseball. There’s no good way to slice it: the White Sox (38-33) got whooped by the Yankees (44-27) in the series opener, 12-2. Though they scored 12, the Yanks somehow still left 10 […]
Game Thread: White Sox (38-32) at Yankees (43-27)
After going 4-1 against two of the top teams in MLB — the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers — the Chicago White Sox are looking to continue their hot streak on the road as they begin a three-game set with the New York Yankees. The Yanks are the best team in the American League […]
White Sox Weekly: June 9-14, 2026
This stretch of games had it all. A long-awaited MLB debut, a thrilling walk-off win against the best team in baseball, and almost having a perfect game thrown against them. This week, the White Sox made a statement to the entire league that they can compete in big ways. The week started with the National […]

1908 The number 13 proved lucky for the White Sox, as a 3-2 win over the New York Highlanders ran their winning streak to 13 games. Ed Walsh went the distance to improve to 14-3 on the season, while the Sox offense buffeted just five singles in the game with eight walks and five stolen […]

White Sox Minor League Update: June 14, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Oklahoma City Comets 3The Charlotte Knights (38-31) squeaked out a victory, making the most of their three hits. They had just enough offense and got another shutdown appearance from one of the organization’s most overlooked relievers. Ryan Galanie got things rolling in the first with a solo shot, but that joy was […]
Survivin’ Sox eke out dramatic win to take series from L.A.
Another Sunday, another opener against a lineup that I do not like the White Sox facing. In tense but rewarding fashion, my worries went for naught, as an explosive six-run sixth inning broke the spell of Dodgers pitching on the Sox offense, leading them to a 6-4 comeback win that pushes the Sox back to […]
Game Thread: Dodgers (45-26) at White Sox (37-32)
The White Sox finally popped a tire on their road to redemption last night, but AAA just showed up with Erick Fedde and a spare. The metaphor comes from the fact that yesterday’s resounding loss to the Dodgers felt like one of the very few games over the last month and change of unadulterated highway […]
Today in White Sox History: June 14
1905 George Davis stole four bases in a 5-3 win at Washington, a mark that has stood for 121 years now (though tied nine different times). Davis led an onslaught that saw the speedy Sox swipe seven sacks on the afternoon without once being caught. Woe was Senators catcher Malachi Kittridge. It was truly a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 13, 2026
Oklahoma City Comets 11, Charlotte Knights 7It was a tough start for lefthander Hagen Smith, who gave up eight runs (seven earned) in Saturday’s start against the Comets (38-29), leading to his fifth loss of the season for the Knights (37-31). Charlotte posted five runs in the first inning to give Smith a huge cushion, […]
White Sox avoid perfect game, no-hitter … but lose to the Dodgers, 7-1
Well, the good times were bound to run into a blip eventually, and this blip happened in overwhelming fashion. Sean Burke fed Shohei Ohtani an upper-zone fastball on the second pitch of the game and it ended up 409 feet away. Then, after a Mookie Betts single, Burke went 3-0 on Max Muncy, at which […]
Game Thread: Dodgers (44-26) at White Sox (37-31!)
No, you’re not dreaming. At least not about what the White Sox have been doing lately. Last night’s 8-2 bashing of the mighty Dodgers continued a streak of terrific performances against top teams in the tough stretch of schedule — and ran Chicago’s home winning streak to eight. It will be Sean Burke trying to […]
Catching Up With: Angelina Victoria, anthem singer
Angelina Victoria is a well-known and established Mexican-American artist hailing from Chicago, who sang the national anthem for her hometown Chicago White Sox on June 12, kicking off the first home game of a huge weekend series between the first-place White Sox and defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. For City Connect and Homies […]
Today in White Sox History: June 13
1908 Not to upstage the next Ed Walsh item on this day, but in a 5-1 win over the New York Highlanders (Yankees) the hurler not only tossed a complete game six-hitter, but stole home! The run was part of a double steal with Jake Atz in the seventh inning, providing the game’s fifth and […]
