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 […]

1919 With the score tied, 1-1, deep into a game at the Polo Grounds facing the Yankees, Eddie Collins belted an inside-the-park grand slam that rolled into the very deep reaches of right-center field. Eddie Cicotte completed the win, improving to 10-1 on the season. The White Sox went three games up in the American […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 4, 2026
Charlotte Knights 11, Durham Bulls 6Another night, another double-digit outburst for Charlotte (32-28). The Knights wasted zero time as Braden Montgomery and Caden Connor drew back-to-back walks to open the first, Korey Lee watched strike three, and Dustin Harris promptly laced a single to plate Montgomery. 1-0, Knights. Durham answered in the bottom half, but […]
May 2026 White Sox check-up: The South Siders are finally gaining respect
The vibes couldn’t have been higher for the White Sox in May, which sets the stage for Chris Getz to do almost anything he wants without upsetting fans. The crew went 18-10 and came out of the month with a positive run differential for the first time since last July, when Chicago went on a […]
Munetaka Murakami’s monster May earns AL Rookie of the Month honors
When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami, there was hope. There was optimism. There was even a healthy amount of “what if?” What there probably wasn’t was “first rookie since 1901 to hit 20 home runs before June.” Yet here we are. The American League announced Wednesday that Murakami has been named AL Rookie of […]
Today in White Sox History: June 4
1959 The 1959 season was filled with extra-inning games for the White Sox, including SIX against Baltimore. There were also three true marathon games, of 17, 17, and 18 innings — ALL against the Orioles. This was the first one that went at least 17 innings. In this game, Earl Torgeson’s solo home run off of Jerry […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 3, 2026
Charlotte Knights 18, Durham Bulls 7 (11 innings)I can assure you that the score is not a typo. The Knights (31-28) really scored 11 runs in the 11th inning to pull away with a victory by a double-digit margin in extras. As a result, the Knights have a 2-0 series lead in Durham against the […]
Erick Fedde, White Sox blank Twins to salvage series finale
After two frustrating losses to begin the series, the White Sox responded exactly how good teams are supposed to: They punched back. Erick Fedde spun five shutout innings, the offense piled on 12 hits and eight walks, and the Sox steamrolled the Twins. Sure, they lost the series, but they leave Minnesota with a +11 […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-29) at Twins (29-33)
The White Sox limp into the finale of this three-game set looking to avoid a sweep before finally getting a much-needed off-day. The timing couldn’t be better, because after Minnesota, the schedule turns downright cruel. Chicago’s next 12 games come against the Phillies, Braves, Dodgers, and Yankees. Every one of those clubs is above .500, […]
White Sox? Where did these guys come from?
When James Russell Lowell wrote the opening line, “What is so rare as a day in June?” it was well before big league baseball existed — he and Abner Doubleday were both born in 1819. If Lowell were to pen “The Vision of Sir Launfal” today, the first line would probably stretch to “What is […]

1943 Holding a slim 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth at Fenway Park, the White Sox rallied to load the bases with two outs. With Mike Tresh at the plate, Don Kolloway broke from third base and scored before Red Sox pitcher Oscar Judd could deliver the ball home, with Luke Appling stealing […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 2, 2026
Charlotte Knights 6, Durham Bulls 1The Knights (30-28) spotted Durham a freebie in the early going, then unloaded a five-double assault and let the arms take it from there. Durham pushed across its only run in the third off Hagen Smith, who plunked the leadoff man, served up a double, and then watched old friend […]
