Davis Martin’s struggles led to another White Sox loss in Minnesota
The White Sox have lost back-to-back games to the Twins, falling 6-4 tonight. Davis Martin fought with his command all night, unable to make it through five innings. While the offense didn’t provide, the poor pitching performance certainly was a catalyst for a tough loss. The bullpen took control in the late innings, but loading […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-28) at Twins (28-33)
After a five-game winning streak to end the month of May, the Chicago White Sox found themselves on the wrong end of the result yesterday as they lost the first of three games in Minnesota. Monday night was an outlier compared to recent results, as it was the first time in a week they surrendered […]
Mark my words: White Sox won’t let the June gauntlet interfere with their magic
White Sox fans, you’ve been hurt, and don’t I know it. You hesitate to recognize the 2026 White Sox as postseason contenders, which, based on the trauma of the 2024 season alone, is valid. You don’t trust the front office or the organization as a whole, and may harbor anger towards the team. You’re exhausted […]

Today in White Sox History: June 2
1925 The White Sox scored 15 runs vs. Detroit — and lost. Ty Cobb was a villain, lining a one-out, full-count pitch from Ted Blankenship out of Tiger Stadium in the bottom of the ninth for the walk-off win. It was the second straight walk-off win for the Tigers over the White Sox, losing on […]
Four runs, then four more: Twins flatten White Sox 9-6
The White Sox had their shot early, but two brutal four-run frames from the Twins turned this one into a slog. The Good Guys wasted a golden chance right away. Sam Antonacci reached on a boot, Miguel Vargas doubled, and suddenly it was second and third, nobody out in the top of the first. Then […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-27) at Twins (27-33)
The vibes on the South Side have shifted in a hurry. The White Sox enter tonight’s matchup with the Twins riding a 6-1 week that included a statement sweep of the Tigers. Now comes another test against an AL Central rival, as Chicago heads to Minnesota looking to keep the momentum rolling. The challenge won’t […]
Canseco, Pods, Palka and friends: The White Sox Alumni Home Run Derby is delightfully unhinged
The White Sox revealed the lineup for their Postgame Alumni Home Run Derby, set to follow the July 11 contest with the A’s at Rate Field. Six familiar names, all ready to take their hacks. The group features a grab bag of franchise favorites and power hitters from across several eras of White Sox baseball: […]
White Sox Weekly: May 25-31, 2026
It may have been a short week for some with Memorial Day, but for the White Sox it was a full week without an off-day. And that busy week proved fruitful: For the first time since May 2023, the Chicago club enjoyed a winning month — a month that was capped with a 6-1 week. […]

White Sox Minor League Update: May 31, 2026
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Charlotte Knights 5Dropping the last two games of the series, the Knights (29-28) allowed the Jumbo Shrimp (32-25) to even the six-game set, as Jacksonville took the win home Sunday, 6-5. Charlotte had actually held onto a one-run lead (2-1) through six, but Riley Gowens collapsed in the seventh and surrendered […]
White Sox outlast Tigers, 2-1
Once again, the White Sox proved persistent, resilient and … just plain … good, knocking off Detroit, 2-1, sweeping the series and creeping to within a game of first place in the AL Central. We’re all old enough to remember that most national writers tabbed the White Sox for last place once again in the […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-37) at White Sox (31-27)
I’m still looking at 31-27 with some level of disbelief. I have typically been on the sunnier side than many of colleagues in prognosticating the future of the White Sox. It took until August 2024 for me to think that they really, truly had a chance at reaching 121 in the loss column. In 2025, […]
Today in White Sox History: May 31
1914 Joe “The Butcher Boy” Benz, (so named because he worked as a butcher in the offseason) fired a no-hitter, beating Cleveland 6-1 at Comiskey Park. The lone Naps run, scored in the fourth inning, came out of three consecutive White Sox errors. Benz walked two and struck out three on the day. It was the second […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 30, 2026
By all accounts, Charlotte should not only be in first place in the International League North, but the entire International League, boasting a +62 run differential. As it stands, the Knights are a mere third-place team at 29-27, 5 ½ games out of first place. Given its high-powered offense, perhaps the playoffs will still be […]
White Sox declaw Tigers, 7-1
The White Sox lacked the inured Munetaka Murakami, but they didn’t lack the long ball late, piling it on to turn close game into rout, 7-1. They say sinker ball pitchers can struggle in the first inning, and Framber Valdez certainly proved them right, chasing a Chase Meidroth leadoff double with two walks, a wild […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-36) at White Sox (30-27)
Last night’s victory for the Sox was certainly exciting, what with tying the game in the ninth on a misplayed squeeze bunt and then winning on a walk-off homer in the 10th. But it was also pyrrhic, since Munetaka Murakami injured a hammie trying to beat out a double play throw in the third inning […]
Today in White Sox History: May 30
1914 Leading off a doubleheader opener at Cleveland, Buck Weaver clocked the first leadoff home run in White Sox history, a deep blast to left field against Naps starter Willie Mitchell. It spurred the White Sox to a 6-3 win and supported Eddie Cicotte in his fourth win of the season. Interestingly, Weaver hit just […]
White Sox come alive late in 4-3 stunner
The margins for error in baseball are incredibly slim. So far this season, the White Sox have taken advantage of opportunities afforded to them, which is why they’re seeing success early in the season. Coming into tonight’s game, they knew they’d have to take advantage of their chances with budding Detroit ace Troy Melton on […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 29, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4Although Charlotte unleashed another storm of runs onto poor Jacksonville, the biggest headline is Jacob Gonzalez’s departure. He collected three hits, including his 19th bomb, and a stolen base before Jason Matthews replaced him in the sixth. Why, you may ask? Gonzalez’s removal lines up with Munetaka Murakami being […]
Game Thread: Tigers (22-35) at White Sox (29-27)
For the first time since May 2023, the White Sox will finish a month with a winning record — and they still have three games left to improve upon their total. After taking three of four from the Minnesota Twins at home, the White Sox look to push the lowly Tigers even further into the […]
Does Murakami’s latest milestone change his future with the Sox?
As the most recent member of the 20 jacks club, Munetaka Murakami has proven that he’s the real deal. As the first rookie ever to blast 20 homers before June, Murakami quickly progressed from winning over White Sox fans’ hearts to gaining national traction. In less than two months, his name is already getting thrown […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 28, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5Charlotte (28-26) fell into a four-run pit, then stormed back with a 12-5 romp. Jacob Gonzalez, once again, front and center, and at this point the White Sox brass must be running out of excuses to keep him down. Gonzalez wasted no time, unloading his 17th bomb in the […]
White Sox Martinize Twins, 6-2
It didn’t look like the feeble-hitting Twins would have much chance against Davis Martin, and that turned out to be right. And it didn’t look like the Sox would struggle against an emergency starter rushed into action very shortly before game time, and that turned out to be right, too. Especially thanks to the incompetence […]
Game Thread: Twins (27-29) at White Sox (28-27)
If the White Sox aren’t all exhausted from running around the bases so much in last night’s 15-2 lambasting of the Twins, they’ve got an excellent chance to make it three out of four for the Minnesota visit today. Not only are the Chicago bats hot — okay, just for one game so far, but […]
