Almost, but not enough: White Sox fall to Reds, 9-8
The White Sox came from four runs down to have the winning run at the plate in the ninth, but the tale of this game came in the third inning. The first pitch was moved up an hour to beat expected rainstorms, but somebody forgot to tell the players they were supposed to be in […]
Game Thread: Reds (57-62) at White Sox (62-57)
Luis Castillo did his best executioner impression last night, slicing up his old squad, and now Chicago heads into the rubber match with a chance to boot the Reds out of town licking their wounds. For that to happen, though, the Sox need Davis Martin to show up as someone other than the batting practice […]
Today in White Sox History: August 13
1906 The White Sox ended their first and greatest homestand with a 0-0 tie against New York. While the Highlanders were held to three singles by Doc White, the White Sox somehow failed to score in spite of six hits and three New York errors. The homestand ended a record 15-1-1. (Two subsequent White Sox […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 12, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 13, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights (63-53) took a lopsided loss in Rochester against the Red Wings (68-46), who showed why they have the best overall record in the International League. Despite the final score, the Knights were within striking distance for most of this game. Knights starter Drew Thorpe, 25, showed that […]
Forget Boston as Luis Castillo dazzles in his Rate Field debut
Luis Castillo made quite an impression in his first start on the South Side. After a forgettable White Sox debut in Boston, Castillo was absolutely fantastic in his first appearance in the black pinstripes at Rate Field, carving up the Reds for seven scoreless innings. The veteran righthander surrendered just one hit and two walks […]
Game Thread: Reds (57-61) at White Sox (61-57)
Last night was a gut punch with the Sox up 4-1 heading into the eighth, then the bullpen did its best impression of a sieve, and the Reds walked off with a 5-4 win in 10. Sean Burke deserved better — seven innings, three hits, eight punchouts, just one run — but the bats went […]
White Sox stats you probably haven’t thought about
Chances are, if you’re even a casual White Sox fan, you share the incredible surprise at the team’s record. If you’re somewhat algorithm inclined, you may be aware that both FanGraphs and PECOTA now predict they’ll end the season with an 82-80 record, barely better than .500. But, since we’re talking about the AL Central, […]

1907 In a 5-3 loss to the Boston Americans, Ed Walsh had 11 assists over eight innings, becoming the first pitcher in history to have at least 11 assists in a game twice in one season. Walsh added one putout and made no errors. He dropped to 18-10 on the season in one of just […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 11, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Rochester Red Wings 6The Knights (63-52) took the first game of the series in Rochester against the Red Wings (67-46), who have an overall record that leads the International League. After a streak of three consecutive quality starts by Jonathan Cannon (only three runs on nine hits in 18 innings), the right-handed […]
No divine intervention on the South Side as White Sox lose, 5-4, in 10 innings
For the first seven innings, it certainly seemed like the White Sox (61-57) channeled the Pope in the series opener, mashing three solo home runs for three of their four runs in front of a 40,000-person crowd, all wearing Pope hats. Unfortunately, the Chicago bullpen wasn’t as blessed, and wound up blowing the save in […]
Game Thread: Reds (56-61) at White Sox (61-56)
After squeaking out an important series win against the Cleveland Guardians this past weekend, the South Siders look to carry that momentum into a new three-game set against the Cincinnati Reds. Ideally, the Sox can take care of business while holding down first place as the Detroit Tigers and the Guardians bat each other up […]
White Sox Weekly: August 3-9, 2026
There is good news from last week, and there is bad news. The good news? The White Sox took two of three from the Cleveland Guardians at home this past weekend and snapped a four-game losing streak. The bad news? The Boston Red Sox are still playing very good baseball and have swept us in […]

1910 Ed Walsh threw a well-timed masterpiece, on Ed Walsh Day: His second career 15-strikeout game, whitewashing Boston 1-0 on three hits. Adding in just two walks and facing only 31 batters in the game contributed to a 94 game score for Walsh, tied for the 22nd-best in White Sox history. The 15 Ks again […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Which is the next jersey to be retired?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in White Sox fans and fans across the country. With Ozzie Guillén seeing his No. 13 jersey retired this past Saturday, the White Sox now have 12 players so honored, plus Jackie Robinson at No. […]
Today in White Sox History: August 10
1959 White Sox infielders Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio appeared together on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The headline read, “Magic Up The Middle, Fox And Aparicio.” 1960 A 6-0 whitewash ended a three-game set with the Yankees at Comiskey Park on a sour note, losing two of three and falling to 61-47. That said, this three-game set, a Monday-Wednesday series […]

White Sox Minor League Update: August 9, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Durham Bulls 3Just like the big-league club, the Knights (62-52) overpowered the Bulls (52-61) to claim the series. José Urquidy made his third start for Charlotte since he was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing one run in his two frames on three hits while striking out three in the process. A […]
Bullpen shines on rainy day, as White Sox take key series from Guardians
Baseball feels more organic when Nancy Faust is in a booth with an organ. Her presence in the ballpark this afternoon, which precluded the usual barrage of pop songs, crowd-stimulating noises, and things that my dad would refer to as “canned bullshit,” set the tone for what turned out to be an improbably fun day […]
Game Thread: Guardians (58-60) at White Sox (60-56)
Like untold numbers of White Sox fans born roughly between 1920 and 2000, my baseball vocabulary is dominated by Hawk Harrelson’s one-of-a-kind (for better and worse) idiomatic way with words. Though it’s not quite as prominent in the Sox fan lexicon as a “grab some bench!” or “sit back, relax, and strap it down,” one […]
With a new draft class coming in, White Sox trim 24 from the system
Beginning at the turn of the month, as 24 new White Sox (20 draft picks and four UDFAs) assumed their places in the White Sox organization, there was the usual downside of players cut to make room. Not coincidentally, there were 24 cuts made to affiliate rosters: Triple-A Charlotte Knights cuts2B Darren BakerMost notable for […]
Today in White Sox History: August 9
1972 This comes under the heading of “Who would have thought?” Two of the best pitchers in baseball (with completely different styles), hooked up in a pitchers’ duel: Wilbur Wood and Nolan Ryan, in a night game in Anaheim. The game lived up to the billing, as the White Sox were able to eke out a 1-0 win. […]
South Side Sox Reacts: The Chris Getz report card
We had already published one writer’s assessment of the 2026 trade deadline job GM Chris Getz did, in the immediate aftermath of the deadline, but this week we’ve handed the report card over to you. Unsurprisingly, or perhaps validating for that SSS writer, is that you came up with the same letter grade: Checks out. […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 8, 2026
Durham Bulls 9, Charlotte Knights 6Both the Bulls (52-60) and the Knights (61-52) tallied 11 hits apiece, but the Charlotte pitching struggled with control, with eight combined walks to just seven strikeouts. Lefthander Tommy Vail has had a rough season thus far in his 14 outings (24 1/3 IP), holding a 10.73 ERA with a […]
Late-game offense, web-gem defense bring South Side victory on Ozzie Guillén Day
After dropping the opening game of this fight for first place yesterday, the White Sox honored Ozzie Guillén in his No. 13 retirement ceremony this afternoon — and that turned out to be a perfect time to bounce back and complement the ceremonies with a win. Win they did, in decisive, 6-3 fashion. And it […]
Ozzie Guillén thanks family, Venezuela and South Side faithful in number retirement ceremony
With “OZZIE 13” spelled out across the pinwheels in center field, the number “13” shaded into the infield dirt right at the shortstop position, and chairs in front of the White Sox dugout down the third base line, the stage was set for Ozzie Guillén’s number retirement ceremony. Chuck Garfien opened the ceremony, welcoming former […]
