Dash out-slug the Grasshoppers in championship opener, 15-8
Winston-Salem Dash 15, Greensboro Grasshoppers 8 — South Atlantic League Championship, Game 1It was quite an offensive game in Game 1 of the SALLY title series, as both teams combined for 19 hits and 23 runs while using seven pitchers each. But the Dash gave themselves a nine-run cushion, 9-0, after just two innings, and […]
Hitting woes continue, as White Sox drop finale in St. Louis
I am still of the belief that Colson Montgomery is going to have a long and productive big league career. I doubt that’s making him feel any better right now, after it was his fly out with the bases loaded that left the potential winning run on base and sank the White Sox closer to […]
Game Thread: White Sox (76-72) at Cardinals (73-76)
Another Sunday, another critical rubber match in what I think we can safely say is the most rear-end-clenching division race we’ve had in nearly 15 years. Perhaps 20, depending on how you feel about Robin Ventura’s debut 2012 that produced a bizarre 85 wins and a missed playoff berth after leading the division most of […]
Today in White Sox History: September 13
1923 Though the team was not contending for the pennant, the White Sox made a late move that would have terrific short- and long-term consequences: Buying center fielder Maurice Archdeacon from the Double-A Rochester Tribe in the International League, for the impressive sum of $50,000. The speedster was hitting .357 for the Tribe — and […]
South Side Sox Reacts: A Rays-Brewers World Series?
Under the free-fall circumstances of the past week, we’re just going to skip the White Sox-specific question here. You can see, and probably already have seen, the results of last week’s poll question to the right of this story. Let’s leave it at that. The national questions this week were straightforward enough: Who is going […]
The Grich Who Saved the Season
Last night it was a rain delay without rain, tonight it was Cardinals Hall of Fame honors for Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, so expect Sunday’s finale to be pushed back due to, dunno, no hot dogs in stock or something. But whatever the excuse, the Cardinals could not avoid the inevitable on Saturday. With […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 12, 2026
Charlotte Knights 10, Buffalo Bisons 1 (doubleheader opener, 7 innings)The Knights (78-65) had a brilliant day, with an offensive onslaught that brought them to within three games of a playoff berth heading into the last series of the season, right? Well, not really. Because the nightcap of the doubleheader had barely gotten underway when it […]
Game Thread: White Sox (75-72) at Cardinals (73-75) (delayed, to honor a mediocre World Series winner)
Not that there’s any good time to play the National League Central, featuring the best team in baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the second-best second-place team in baseball. And as the White Sox have found, third- and fourth-place Pittsburgh and St. Louis — essentially equals of the White Sox, give or take […]
Today in White Sox History: September 12
1900 The White Sox beat the Cleveland Blues, 12-4, in Chicago to clinch the franchise’s first pennant. (The American League would not be recognized as an official major league until 1901, however.) Roy Patterson got the win in the game. The season seemed to set the tone for the franchise, with exceptional pitching and defense — and […]
A win not in the Cards; White Sox fall again
This may come as somewhat of a shock, but the White Sox lost again Friday night. I know, who could’ve seen it coming that the team that has looked like a dumpster fire since late August would once again do everything possible to lose a game. I don’t even know how to feel, but I […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 11, 2026
Charlotte Knights 2, Buffalo Bisons 1Coming off a tough loss, Charlotte decided the best way to stay in the playoff race was to do the bare minimum. Fortunately, it paid off. Joey Wiemer’s two-run homer generated the only runs of the night for Charlotte. Somehow, this not-so-mighty effort outweighed Buffalo’s solo shot from Davis Schneider. […]
Game Thread: White Sox (75-71) at Cardinals (72-75) (delayed, rain — first pitch 8:25 p.m. CT)
With football season now underway, you’re getting a football-themed game thread. If you don’t like football, suck it up, you can deal with it for one day. Let’s be honest, even a football themed game thread is more entertaining than whatever the heck the White Sox are doing. For the last 2 ½ weeks the […]
Hot Rods stall as Dash race into the finals with a 4-1 win
The Winston-Salem Dash are headed to the South Atlantic League Championship Series! Facing a Bowling Green club that finished with the fourth-best record among all 120 full-season minor league teams, the Dash completed a stunning two-game sweep with a 4-1 victory to capture the South Atlantic League Southern Division championship. The Hot Rods, a Tampa […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 10, 2026
Buffalo Bisons 11, Charlotte Knights 4The Charlotte Knights stumbled to an 11-4 loss to the Buffalo Bisons in a game that remained competitive for five innings before spiraling wildly out of control. Adisyn Coffey took the mound as an opener for Charlotte, making just his third start of the season. It quickly became the Lenyn […]
White Sox get swept at home, in a September series meaningful for all the wrong reasons
The Pirates knocked the White Sox down a peg, as Chicago’s division lead is down to 1 1/2 after a brutal, 2-0 loss and series sweep in Chicago. With only two hits in nine innings and five runs in total this series and never once leading a game, it’s time to shave the September ’staches, […]
Game Thread: Pirates (73-73) at White Sox (75-70)
With a sweep on the line, the White Sox need to lock in, with both pitching and the lack of hits over the last two games against the pesky Pirates. While the South Siders are still atop the American League Central, Cleveland is hanging around, and another loss tonight could be detrimental. Hagen Smith, who […]
The biggest decision of the year for White Sox management is coming right up
Anybody in sports management has to make a lot of decisions that may or may not pan out. GM Chris Getz made some last offseason that went well, and some at the trade deadline that have proven dismal. Manager Will Venable has to make decisions in-game that may or may not work that particular day, […]
Today in White Sox History: September 10
1927 With a 11-1 loss in the nightcap of a doubleheader in Washington, the White Sox began a 12-game losing streak, which remains tied for the fifth-longest in franchise history. The South Siders came into the game at a respectable 65-68, but losing 15 of 20 to end the season dumped them down from 30 […]
Clutch hits remain buried treasure for White Sox
The bats have vanished at the worst possible moment. Chicago squandered scoring opportunities in consecutive innings, went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Pirates, 4-2, on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh takes the series, but at least the Guardians did us a favor by losing to Baltimore, so the AL Central gap holds […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 9, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Buffalo Bisons 4The Knights (76-64) found a way to rally after a tough top of the eighth for the bullpen against the Bisons (65-73). As a result, Charlotte won a game with plenty of ups and downs. Knights starter Jonathan Cannon, 26, built on his last start, when he pitched 5 1/3 […]
Game Thread: Pirates (72-73) at White Sox (75-69)
A bit of housekeeping before tonight’s game: The White Sox placed righthander Tyler Davis on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List and recalled lefthander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte. After getting shellacked, 9-3, last night, the South Siders could use a convincing win tonight. Davis Martin gets the ball for Chicago as it attempts to protect […]
Today in White Sox History: September 9
1913 With a solo homer leading off the top of the second inning, Ping Bodie snapped a 26 ⅓-inning scoring drought for the White Sox. The streak began during a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Browns on September 5 and lasted through 4-0 and 1-0 whitewashes to the Browns the next two days and […]
Pirates plunder the White Sox in series opener, 9-3
It was a one-sided slugfest on the South Side as the Pirates (72-73) teed off on the White Sox (75-69), mashing 18 hits and scoring nine to defeat the South Siders in Tuesday’s series opener, 9-3. Sean Burke relinquished a career-high seven runs in tonight’s start, and only lasted 1 1/3 frames before surrendering the […]
Dash of the Titans
The Dash spent most of Tuesday night trying to dig out of an early six-run hole. With one swing in the ninth and one more big hit in the 10th, they completed the comeback. Winston-Salem erased a three-run deficit on Javier Mogollón’s two-out homer in the bottom of the ninth before Nick McLain delivered a […]
