Flashback: The S3by Game
Some South Side Sox readers are aware that I am fond of catcher Seby Zavala. We have reached the five-year anniversary of Zavala’s three-homer game, so I feel the need to revisit that incredible feat, which was the most out-of-the-blue performance I have ever seen. It was July 31, 2021, and entering that day, the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 30, 2026
Charlotte Knights 6, Nashville Sounds 4The Knights (58-47) stumbled out of the gate but worked their way back, and the headline is all about catcher Eric Haase. The new guy wasted no time. With the bases loaded in the first inning, he smashed a three-run double. Welcome to Charlotte, and maybe soon, Chicago. Haase, the […]
White Sox gifted an actual walk-off walk, beat Yankees 2-1 in 11
Sean Burke was lights out for six scoreless innings. Ryan Weathers of the Yankees was equally as good, but for seven. Each starter gave up only three hits, Burke walking two and Weathers three, with Burke winning the battle of the K’s with 10 (one short of his career high) to Weathers’ four. Burke was […]
Game Thread: Yankees (61-47) at White Sox (56-51)
With the adrenaline still flowing from last night’s extra-inning comeback win (sure, it was only possible because of some odd managerial decisions and a completely brain-dead defensive play by the Yankees — their catcher tried to pick Munetaka Murakami off third with two outs in the 11th and threw the ball away), the White Sox […]
Today in White Sox History: July 30
1915 After falling out of first place 10 days earlier, the White Sox fought back into a tie atop the American League courtesy of a 6-4 win at the Yankees; Buck Weaver (4-for-5, homer, double, five RBIs) was the hitting hero while Eddie Cicotte (win) and Jim Scott (save) piloted the win. However, it would […]
The White Sox had no business winning this game. They won anyway, 6-5
The White Sox? Refused to die. Down 4-0 before most fans turned on the game, squandering chances left and right, and somehow still standing after a dozen innings of chaos, the South Siders (55-51) outlasted the Yankees (61-46), 6-5. Twelve innings. Ugly, beautiful, whatever — chalk it up as a win. Edgar Quero, unlikely hero, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 29, 2026
Charlotte Knights 12, Nashville Sounds 5The Knights (57-47) beat the Sounds (56-48) handily in Nashville, and have been on fire to start the series. Tyler Gilbert opened by pitching an inning, and Joe Rock followed by pitching exactly one inning. Gilbert and Rock allowed one run each, so the Knights trailed by a pair after […]
Game Thread: Yankees (61-46) at White Sox (55-51)
The White Sox are bleeding, and tonight is triage. Chicago has dropped two straight and is just 4-6 over its last 10 games, yet somehow still clings to a faint 1 1/2-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central. That cushion feels increasingly fragile as July has become one complication after another, easily […]
White Sox knock Family Weekend out of the park
Not only has the Chicago White Sox organization improved in the clubhouse and on the field, but they have also shown plenty of appreciation to their fans this season, who have been returning to the park in droves after several rough seasons. This past Sunday, the White Sox generously invited a couple of us here […]
Is this heaven?
“You can’t win a game with just home runs. You need a crooked number. Anything more than one,” Mike Huff tutored, as he stood beside a mammoth score card taped to the wall. I was obtaining a master lesson in scoring from former White Sox outfielder and Roberto Clemente Award recipient Mike Huff, and ignoring […]
Today in White Sox History: July 29
1910Patsy Dougherty was a very good hitter (.284 career), but had one talent in particular: Breaking up no-hitters. On this day, Dougherty led off the eighth inning with a single, the first hit Tigers hurler Ed Summers had allowed all game. It was the fourth and final time Dougherty would break up a no-no, with […]
White Sox comeback falls short in 3-2 loss to Yankees
The White Sox (55-51) waited until the bottom of the ninth to score any runs, and ironically ended up outhitting the Yankees (61-46), but they couldn’t make the full comeback and fell just short, 3-2. Chase Meidroth saved the day from a 3-0 shutout, mashing a homer with two outs in the bottom of the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 27-28, 2026
Charlotte Knights 6, Nashville Sounds 1The Knights (56-47) jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the home crowd had even settled. Rikuu Nishida slapped a leadoff single, Austin Hays grounded out, Michael Turner whiffed, and then Ryan Galanie launched his 15th bomb. Charlotte poured it on in the fourth when Junior Perez doubled, Korey Lee […]
Game Thread: Yankees (60-46) at White Sox (55-50)
The South Siders lost a tough one to start the series Monday, 9-5, and things won’t get any easier today with Gerrit Cole on the mound for New York. Despite going 5-5 over their last 10 games, they still hold a 1 1/2-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central, who have also […]

Today in White Sox History: July 28
1931 Two days after surrendering the most runs ever against the White Sox in a game (22 runs, which still holds today), the South Siders set their franchise record for the most runs ever scored in the eighth inning of a game by plating 11 runners to beat the Yankees, 14-12, at Yankee Stadium. They […]
The South Siders fall, 9-5, in a poorly-pitched opener
A few big lessons learned for a young squad tonight: Let’s get into an ugly, 9-5 White Sox loss against the Yankees. After a dominant first half of the frame from Noah Schultz with three strikeouts, Colson Montgomery put the White Sox on the board early on after a 3-2 count: Max Fried put two […]
Game Thread: Yankees (59-46) at White Sox (55-49)
It’s a new week and a new series, this time with the Bronx Bombers in town. With similar records, the White Sox will see a mostly dominant Yankees team for the second time this year. Before the game, the White Sox returned outfielder Everson Pereira from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, reinstated him […]

White Sox Weekly: July 20-26, 2026
There is distance growing between the first-place White Sox and those pesky Cleveland Guardians. A series victory in Arlington mixed with a singule win against the Astros created a 2 1/2-game division lead for the Good Guys. This, helped by the fact that Cleveland has now lost five in a row, created some much-needed breathing […]
Today in White Sox History: July 27
1951 Among many injustices betraying a pro-Yankees slant in Major League Baseball over the years, this was egregious as they come. It was the start of a four-game series at Yankee Stadium, with Chicago trailing New York and Boston by just 3 1⁄2 games in the standing. The White Sox trailed the Yankees, 3-2, when […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 26, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 4The second bullpen game of the series also ended up as the second bullpen game win of the series for Charlotte (55-47), even scoring seven runs in both ad-hoc games. With just three innings to play, the Knights held a commanding 6-1 lead, so this one was not quite as […]
Astros fizzle, White Sox romp, 12-3
When Jeremy Peña led off the game with a homer off Erick Fedde, it seemed to portend a rough day for the White Sox. It portended wrong. It only took two Sox batters to turn things around. Sam Antonacci led off the bottom of the first with a walk, and then Munetaka Murakami started his […]
Game Thread: Astros (52-54) at White Sox (54-49)
The White Sox have been outscored 13-1 in their last 13 innings, but they’re hoping to have a big turnaround on a date that is 13 x 2. It will be Erick Fedde trying to avoid the downfall of predecessors Davis Martin and Sean Burke, both of whom cruised through five innings against the Astros […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Noah moves on, if he must
This week was a challenging Reacts poll for South Side Sox readers, in that it asked you to choose a player from the rookie corps you’d be most comfortable with dealing away. Over at The Feed, where the voting is now hosted, there was more than one comment akin to “no one” — with support […]
