The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
1921 All eight Black Sox (Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, Swede Risberg, Fred McMullin, Chick Gandil, Happy Felsch and even Buck Weaver) were suspended for life by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. None will play in the Major Leagues again. Jackson is banned for life, despite hitting .375 in the sordid 1919 World Series; Weaver […]

The White Sox dropped their second straight, this time 8-4 to the Angels. The bats showed up early, but the South Siders’ issues with stranding runners (2-for-18) continued. Their 4-0 early lead was gone in a blink, as the Halos rattled off eight straight runs and left the Sox staring at an 11-9 spring record. […]

It was another high-scoring affair for the White Sox (11-8), who broke up their win streak by dropping Tuesday’s matchup against the Athletics (8-10), 11-7. Each team played 18 position players and seven pitchers, and despite exchanging the lead back-and-forth for most of the game, the A’s were able to out-hit the South Siders 16-10, […]

A little bit of housekeeping this afternoon. Nothing surprising here. With only 13 days left of Spring Training, some bigger changes are surely coming. Chicago’s offense hopes to stay hot in Tuesday’s game against the Athletics after the White Sox dropped 11 runs on the Colorado Rockies in just one inning on Monday afternoon for […]

1914 The White Sox their World Tour vs. the New York Giants to final rest with a banquet in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel. Pitcher Joe Benz had to skip the celebration — he was getting married that day! Manager Nixey Callahan also had to book out west right after the celebration — […]

No matter how the 2026 season ends up going, we’ll always have the fourth inning of a who-cares Spring Training game on March 9. The White Sox steamrolled Colorado, 12-3, on the wings of a ridiculous 11-run outburst in the fourth inning. In the words of White Sox beat writer and witness to the massacre […]

The White Sox and their spring winning continued on Sunday, as they picked up their 10th win of the preseason with a 5-4 showing against Kansas City. Perhaps feeling the heat after I so boldly declared prior to the game that he was “rapidly …” Jarred Kelenic got the South Siders on the board with […]

On Sunday, the Chicago White Sox gave fans another reason to be excited about the 2026 season when they announced that Shane Smith will be the Opening Day starter against his former team in Milwaukee. This is the earliest that Chicago has named their starter ahead of Opening Day since 2018, when the Sox pegged […]

The back end of the Sox rotation is still up for grabs, but the staff in Charlotte is starting to take shape. The White Sox announced Saturday that righthander Tanner McDougal had been optioned to Triple-A, while lefty Noah Schultz was sent over to minor league camp. They’ll presumably join David Sandlin, Duncan Davitt, and […]

Have hope, White Sox fans! Or at least fairly young White Sox fans. AI is on your side! Yep. Or, at least, the ChatGPT version of AI. My son, Will, sent me a link to an intense bit of research that shows the Chicago White Sox will indeed win the World Series. Maybe even sooner […]

1942Future White Sox MVP Dick Allen was born in Wampum, Pa. Allen set a franchise mark with 37 home runs in his 1972 MVP year, along with 113 RBIs. His 8.6 WAR in 1972 ranks second all-time among White Sox hitters (Eddie Collins, 9.4, 1915) and 14th all-time among all White Sox players. Perhaps most […]

It’s certainly nice to watch a White Sox game where the team that looks like it has no idea how the game is supposed to be played is the other guys. It was the supposedly good Mariners (yeah, yeah, they’ve got 18 guys playing in the WBC, but so what?) who misplayed two bunts, started […]

The White Sox hit the road to face a Mariners team that’s a whole lot better than its spring record, so they may be doing a whole lot of experimenting so far. The Sox can hope the experimenting continues, which is likely given all the players the Mariners have on international rosters at the moment. […]

This week, we asked you which White Sox rookie you are most excited to see on the South Side in 2026. Each player in the survey stands a feasible chance of getting at least a September cup of coffee with the club. Braden Montgomery is the heir apparent to center or right field, and has […]

1890 Pioneering reliever and spitballer Dave Danforth was born, in Granger, Texas. A relative rarity as a college-educated (Baylor University) player in the 1910s, Danforth was signed by the A’s in 1911, and while bouncing back and forth between Philadelphia and minor-league Baltimore, Danforth completed a dentistry degree at the University of Maryland. After two […]

If you are going to produce few hits, might as well make them count. The White Sox chased a morbid offensive effort on Thursday night with one not much better on Friday. The difference? Two of the hits left the yard, and with the sacks close to packed. Or, in other words: Five-hit games don’t […]

We got another game today, a quick turnaround from last night’s massacre at Camelback Ranch. Matchups and injuries later in March aside, the top two-thirds of this lineup could be close to what you see on Opening Day in Milwaukee: Anthony Kay, top lefty on the staff at least for the moment, gets his third […]

1914 The White Sox returned home from their around-the-world series of exhibition games against the New York Giants. The Sox went 24-20-2, but the added 46 games took their toll when the regular season began in late April. For the year, the Sox would end up in sixth place, 30 games out with a record […]

Somehow, despite at last check this was a Spring Training game, the White Sox were held to one hit, a Brooks Baldwin single, through seven innings. But then, given the state of Chicago pitching tonight, the lack of offense wasn’t the major concern, just an embarrassing one. The game opened with three straight doubles cracked […]
