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 […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 12, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Oklahoma City Comets 7Charlotte overwhelmed the OKC with small ball and some big hits. Ryan Galanie had a big night and continues to be one of the most underrated guys on the Knights, clobbering a home run and an extra-base hit to supply five of the team’s 11 RBIs. Korey Lee and […]
White Sox smack around Sasaki in rout
Just like dealing with a moody teenager, you never know what you’re going to get with Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki. It seems that half the time he pitches gems, and the other half are absolute duds. Worse for the Dodgers, with Shohei Ohtani out due to knee inflammation the White Sox had […]
Game Thread: Dodgers (44-25) at White Sox (36-31)
For the first time in four years your Chicago White Sox are atop the AL Central, after two impressive wins over the Atlanta Braves. With the team getting a rainy Thursday night off, the South Siders had a breather before another big series, this one with the reigning World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. This […]
Slow burn over instant stardom: The White Sox have a new motto for their scrappy team construction
Chicago, your mantra for the 2026 season would appear to be “momentum,” but consider this my formal proposal for a more fitting theme: Slow burn. A year-and-a-half removed from the Garrett Crochet trade, the guys that came over from Boston — Kyle Teel, Chase Meidroth, Braden Montgomery and Wikelman González — embody a slow-burn mindset […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Feeling confident about the playoffs!
We took a while, but after a month or so off we’re back to asking you about the White Sox and baseball at large vis SB Nation Reacts surveys. This time around, with the White Sox in the catbird seat at the one-third season mark, we issued a straightforward (if unexpected, just a month ago) […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 11, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Oklahoma City Comets 8The Knights (36-30) yanked a walk-off out of the chaos, toppling the Comets in a game that pinballed from the jump. Rikuu Nishida did his thing in the first — walk, swipe second, score on a Caden Connor double — then Dustin Harris with an RBI knock for a […]
Welcome to Chicago, Braden!
There hasn’t been a better White Sox debut since Wilson Álvarez kicked off his Chicago career by throwing a no-hitter at Baltimore in 1991, so BreakingT broke out the big art guns with their newest bit of Soxwear: Welcome to the Show, Kid! This design, even by the high BreakingT standards, is outstanding: Braden jogging […]
Braves-White Sox finale postponed by rain; makeup August 20
The monsoons sweeping the Chicagoland area forced the cancellation of Thursday’s finale between Chicago and Atlanta. The storms were foreboding enough — with winds rippling the on-field tarp — to quickly dash hopes of a very late game start, which would have been the most convenient option given Atlanta is not scheduled to return to […]
Game Thread: Braves (45-23) at White Sox (36-31) (late start, rain delay)
Weather permitting, tonight’s game offers the Chicago White Sox a chance to complete a sweep of the mighty Atlanta Braves and further cement their place atop the AL Central. Typing or saying that won’t get old, not after the years of misery leading up to it. But first, some news and notes. Everson Pereira has […]
Derek Hill is the first casualty of Chicago’s investment in Braden Montgomery
Chris Getz waited just two games to push the chips all in on Braden Montgomery. Unfortunately, Derek Hill, who picked the wrong poker table to plant himself at, was the casualty in an unusual barter between the White Sox and Phillies. In a wild and unpredictable world where the Sox find themselves having leverage, Chicago […]
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 […]
