Game Thread: Royals (34-48) at White Sox (41-38)
A weird and wacky season has continued for the Chicago White Sox, and only time will tell how this upcoming series with the lowly Kansas City Royals will play out. On the surface, the South Siders should be able to roll over Kansas City and at least take the series. With that being said, this […]
The White Sox are winning, but I’m still not fully bought in
By now, it seems everyone has jumped on the White Sox hype train but me. It’s not easy being alone on my island as an overly cautious person who is hesitant to believe the Sox have truly blossomed into the AL Central leader. While I’ve gone out of my way to buy tickets to their […]
Today in White Sox History: June 26
1916 In a game in Cleveland, the White Sox became the first team to ever have names sewn on to the backs of the uniforms. Knowing who was playing didn’t help them, though; they were shut out, 2-0, on the afternoon. (The White Sox returned to the idea of names on the back of road […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 25, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Rochester Red Wings 6 (11 innings)Jonathan Cannon had a rough four-inning start that included three unearned runs of the six scored, but the Knights (44-34) were able to claw back and walk off the Red Wings (46-30) in extras, 7-6. Cannon made his 10th start and ended up allowing eight hits, and […]
Nothing like fun at the old (White Sox) ballpark
Since our son, Will, is about to wrap up his time in Chicago doing the much-acclaimed (parental brag) An Enemy of the People at TimeLine Theatre, he and my wife chipped in on a Father’s Day present of tickets to Monday night’s game at The Rate, a minor violation of our pledge to never put […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Improve the bullpen
The question you were supposed to get a week ago still held pertinent this week, so we asked readers where they would improve the White Sox at the trade deadline, given that by all accounts GM Chris Getz should be a buyer for the very first time. And one thing’s for sure, we won’t be […]
Today in White Sox History: June 25
1903 It was a tale of two games. The first nine innings, played to a tie, was full of hitting and sloppy fielding (12 errors, six per team). The second nine, also played to a tie, featured a pitcher’s duel that ended in the dark. The White Sox and Highlanders (Yankees) played the longest game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 24, 2026
Charlotte Knights 10, Rochester Red Wings 2The Knights (43-34) evened up the series against the mighty Red Wings (46-29) with a dominant performance in Charlotte. Overall, it was a fantastic evening for the Knights. The lower third of the order (Mario Camilletti, Andy Weber, and Dru Baker) combined to go 8-for-11 with a homer, a […]
Late White Sox rally succeeds once, but not twice in 4-3 loss to the Guardians
The White Sox waited until the last minute to tee off on Cleveland closer Cade Smith in the ninth inning once more, but could not convert a run with the bases loaded in the 10th, falling 4-3. As if to indicate dismay with leaving an attainable sweep on the table, the rain that initially delayed […]
Game Thread: Guardians (41-39) at White Sox (41-37) (delayed, rain, est. first pitch 3:50 p.m.)
The White Sox have a chance to sweep their division rivals after reclaiming first place from the Guardians after Tuesday’s win. The pitching matchups are fairly even, with Erick Fedde (2-6, 4.48 ERA) facing a struggling Tanner Bibee (2-8, 4.03 ERA). White Sox batters will need to be cognizant of Bibee’s strikeouts, however. While his […]

1914 In a telegram discovered in 2012, White Sox owner Charles Comiskey told scout George Mills that the asking price for pitcher Babe Ruth was too high at $16,000. At the time, Ruth was playing for the minor league Baltimore Orioles. Comiskey had sent Mills to scout the best Orioles players on June 9. Mills gave Comiskey a list of six players he thought were the best, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 23, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 10, Charlotte Knights 9The Knights (42-34) came up just short in a wild one despite outhitting the Red Wings 12-10. The bats snoozed through the early frames until Nolan Jones finally got things cooking in the fourth with his 10th bomb of the year. Korey Lee chipped in an RBI double in […]
Miguel Vargas launches 17th home run as White Sox defeat Guardians, 2-1
If your name is Sean, you probably had a good day on the mound this evening. A pitchers’ duel in Bridgeport ended with the White Sox outlasting the Guardians, 2-1, to go up a game in the AL Central race and get a much-needed series win after getting swept in Detroit over the weekend. Not […]
Game Thread: Guardians (41-38) at White Sox (40-37)
Coming off of Monday’s roller coaster of a game that ended in a walk-off win, the South Siders look to take another game over Cleveland in the AL Central Division race behind righthander Sean Burke. The righty was lights out in one of the best starts of his career against the Yankees last week, tossing […]

1919 White Sox center fielder Happy Felsch tied a 15-year-old record set by Harry Bay for most chances in a nine-inning game: 12. He had 11 putouts and one assist (Jack Graney, doubled off of first base) in the 3-2 loss to Cleveland at Comiskey Park. That record still stands in the American League, since […]
Sam Antonacci’s walk-off cues 6-5 win, return to first place
In a game full of emotions, poor bullpen management, and too-close-for-comfort scores, the White Sox pulled one from the Guardians as my favorite scrappy rookie, Sam Antonacci, walked it off in the bottom of the ninth for a 6-5 win. Grab your Tums and strap in for this winning recap. Things started really well for […]
Game Thread: Guardians (41-37) at White Sox (39-37)
The White Sox are back at Rate Field after an abysmal road series (losing six of seven) that pushed them back to second place in the American League Central. Facing two divisional rivals this week, the White Sox have a chance to move past the Guardians again, but the next two series are do-or-die and […]
White Sox Weekly: June 15-21, 2026
Last week, I ended the weekly recap discussing how the White Sox have failed to play with the same vigor on the road as they have been on their home turf. Perhaps the White Sox would prove me wrong, and that the baseball gods would continue to shine good favor upon me. Instead, I watched […]

1913 Behind Ed Walsh’s shutout, the White Sox beat the St. Louis Browns, 2-0, in the second game of a doubleheader at Comiskey Park. It was the team’s 1,000th victory. Outfielder Shano Collins drove in both runs for the Sox in the win. Walsh’s shutout was actually the second attempt at 1,000 wins for the White Sox. In the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 21, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Buffalo Bisons 0The Knights (42-33) poured on five in the top of the first, which was plenty to shut out the Bisons (35-40) and win the series. Charlotte loaded the bases twice in the first, leading to a two-run knock from Caden Connor and a bases-clearing double from Andy Weber just a […]
Martin’s gritty stuff not enough, White Sox suffer sweep
The White Sox offense struggled badly for a second consecutive game on Sunday afternoon, and for a while, they made Detroit starter Keider Montero look more like Tarik Skubal than Skubal himself did on Friday. Three blown leads in three days, this one a 5-4 eye-roller in 10 innings, means three losses. This is the […]
Game Thread: White Sox (39-36) at Tigers (32-44)
The precipice of getting swept: a familiar, yet unfamiliar, circumstance on the South Side as of late. Familiar because, hey, we watched this team in 2023, 2024 and 2025. It’s not like we didn’t see the brooms get broken out with more regularity than just about any set of fans, ever. Hell, they got swept […]

1901 Already 29-20 and tied for first in the American League’s first season as a major league, the White Sox began a run of 10 straight wins with a shutout of the Philadelphia A’s, 4-0. Clark Griffith got the complete-game victory, his 10th win of the season. By the end of the streak, the White […]
