Game Thread: Rockies (57-102) at White Sox (82-77)
Well, well, well what do we have here? The same Chicago White Sox team that blew a six-run lead just last week has now roared back to life, winning four of its last five. Unfortunately, the Cleveland Guardians are still selling their souls to win every game they play, but that streak will eventually run […]
Birmingham Barons 2026 Season Review
The Double-A Birmingham Barons got off to a borderline horrific start to the season despite winning the previous two Southern League championships. In the first half, Birmingham finished dead-last in the league with a 26-43 record (12 games back), punctuated by a -82 run differential. As the club improved in the second half, it was […]
The White Sox are headed to the postseason!
Friends — the White Sox are headed to the postseason! In a game dominated entirely by the South Siders, the Royals went down 9-1, giving Chicago both a series win and a playoff berth. Let’s break down this beautiful win. The White Sox started with early runs and gritty baseball, playing like a team determined […]
Game Thread: White Sox (81-77) at Royals (68-90)
With a playoff spot on the line, the White Sox are desperate for a win and to finish off the Royals for good in this midday matchup. David Sandlin is on the mound for the White Sox. Ideally, he can eat some innings for the overtaxed bullpen, since Will Venable is busy setting them up […]
Don Cooper: 1956-2026
Most fans are aware of both the legend and the reality of Chicago White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper. And we as White Sox fans have committed so much of him to memory, most prominently “Coop’ll fix ’em” and the four straight complete games that polished off the 2005 ALCS. So recounting his resumé is […]
White Sox squander their chance in Kansas City, fall to Royals, 5-4
The Cleveland Guardians lost, 1-0, to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night. All the White Sox had to do was beat the Kansas City Royals to reclaim first place in the AL Central. Instead, they lost, 5-4. Apparently, taking control of your own destiny sounded a little too easy. Bryan Hudson’s opening assignment was […]
Game Thread: White Sox (81-76) at Royals (67-90)
The White Sox scored 14 runs Tuesday night, so hopefully there’s still a little gas left in the tank. A little less drama on the pitching side would be nice, too. Trevor Richards and Luis Castillo combined to give up seven runs over two innings in the 14-11 victory. Yikes. That win, paired with a […]
Charlotte Knights 2026 Season Review
For an affiliate whose primary role is to serve as the last checkpoint for MLB readiness while having some fun along the way, the Charlotte Knights delivered much more on the latter than the former. Finishing tied for second place in the International League East with an 81-68 record and +126 run differential, Chicago’s Triple-A […]
Chaos in Kansas City ends with White Sox on top, 14-11
Anthony Kay looked solid for the first couple of innings, keeping the Royals scoreless despite their first two batters reaching on consecutive base hits. Unfortunately, he couldn’t maintain that consistency and ultimately surrendered four runs on seven hits over just four innings. The lefty is known to lean on his four-seamer, but tonight he turned […]
Game Thread: White Sox (80-76) at Royals (67-89)
Last week was tough for the Chicago White Sox, who could have practically shut the door on the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central race but couldn’t finish the job. With six games remaining in the regular season, the Good Guys start the week with a three-game road trip to face the Kansas City Royals. […]
White Sox Minor League All-Stars of 2026
Among the Knights (81-68), Barons (61-77), Dash (73-58) and Cannon Ballers (71-61), this was a solid year for White Sox affiliates. On top of the combined regular season record of 286-264 (.520), the Dash won the South Atlantic League Championship, marking the third consecutive year of a White Sox affiliate winning a title, joining the 2024 and […]
Miguel Vargas named AL Player of the Week
Miguel Vargas has had a career year this year for the Chicago White Sox, with 33 home runs, 88 RBIs, 31 doubles, a triple and 20 steals, all while scoring 101 runs and slashing .251/.362/.482 with a 5.3 WAR and 135 OPS+. He’s become to become just the third White Sox player in history with […]
Today in White Sox History: September 22
1916 In the first inning of a 6-3 win against the Yankees, Eddie Collins tapped an infield single to shortstop and became the first White Sox player ever with a hitting streak of 20 games. Collins would be held hitless in five at-bats tomorrow, snapping his streak. Over the 20 games Collins hit .464, which […]

Today in White Sox History: September 21
1901 The White Sox won the first major-league American League pennant despite losing to the Philadelphia A’s, 10-4. The Sox would end up winning the pennant by five games over the Boston Americans, with a record of 83-53. Interestingly, this loss was the start of a five-game losing streak that took the White Sox nearly to […]
White Sox find sunshine in the rain with 8-1 win over Tigers
If you overlook a four-hour rain delay and miserable fall football weather that lasted throughout the three-hour game, Sunday’s 8-1 crushing of the Detroit Tigers was unqualified joy from first pitch to final out. In beating Detroit in three of four, the White Sox remained just one game behind Cleveland heading into a significant matchup […]
Knights season ends on high note with 7-4 win over the Tides
This being the final game of the 2026 White Sox affiliate seasons, you are reading our last daily Minor League Update for 2026. We have our season wraps still to publish (joining our Kannapolis review, already on site) and will also have podcasts summarizing each individual club in the minor-league system. From here, we’ll have […]
Game Thread: Tigers (73-82) at White Sox (79-76) (rain delay, start time 5 p.m. CT)
I’ve written virtually every Sunday gamethread this year as some variation of, “hey, the Sox have a chance to win this series! That would be pretty cool!” As the meme goes… I love the competition of the race, but I’m also kind of sick of it, simply from inexperience. I can’t be the only one […]

Today in White Sox History: September 20
1902 Nixey Callahan threw the first no-hitter in White Sox history, as he beat the Tigers. It was just the second no-hitter in American League history. The Sox gave him all the runs he needed by scoring three in the first inning, as the Sox won it, 3-0, in Chicago. The Tigers got one runner as […]
Knights drop 10 on the Tides in penultimate game of 2026
Charlotte Knights 10, Norfolk Tides 6A revived Knights (80-68) offense complemented their decent pitching performance to capture their second win of the series over the Tides (58-88), 10-6. The Good Guys had struggled offensively all week, but they exploded for 12 hits — five for extra bases — and scored as many runs in Saturday’s […]
Burke digs deep as White Sox claw past Tigers, 3-1
Sean Burke gave the White Sox a chance to win Saturday afternoon. His offense didn’t give him much support, but it gave him just enough. The righthander came out firing, mowing through the first with a fly out and back-to-back punchouts. The knuckle curve had bite, and he breezed through the first three innings on […]
Game Thread: Tigers (73-81) at White Sox (78-76)
Eight games remain in the regular season, and suddenly the White Sox are fighting for their postseason lives. The South Siders enter Saturday’s contest against the Tigers in second place in the AL Central and clinging to the third and final Wild Card spot. They lead the Texas Rangers by one game and the Toronto […]
Today in White Sox History: September 19
1901 In the aftermath of the assassination of and funeral for President William McKinley, the White Sox game at Baltimore — and all games in Major League Baseball — was postponed. The White Sox remained 81-48 and atop the AL, on the verge of clinching the pennant. (In fact, the clinch would come in just […]
