Game Thread: White Sox (73-66) at Astros (71-69)
The White Sox will need to find some better offense this afternoon than they’ve shown so far in the series, and it may be a challenging assignment. That’s because after failing to feast on pitchers just back from Tommy John surgery — scoring eight runs in three games — they now have to deal with […]
A weekend with the Women’s Professional Baseball League
Sitting at Robin Roberts Stadium on Friday, watching the Boston Hunters take on the San Francisco Firebells, I asked my mom what I thought was a simple question: “Would you have played baseball instead of softball if given the chance?” My mom grew up a Cubs fan and admired players such as Ron Santo and […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 2, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 4, Charlotte Knights 2After a 3-1 victory on Tuesday, the Knights (72-62) offense had a rough night in Gwinnett against the Stripers (68-65), and the series is tied. Knights starter Drew Thorpe, 25, had a solid start, only allowing two runs on four hits in five innings. However, in this game, the Knights […]
A master class in missed opportunities ends in a 2-0 White Sox loss
There are frustrating losses, and then there is whatever the White Sox subjected us to on Wednesday night. Chicago wasted nearly every opportunity it received, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and handed Houston the only two runs it needed in a maddening 2-0 defeat. The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
Game Thread: White Sox (73-65) at Astros (70-69)
The first two contests in Houston have produced a split, with the Astros taking Monday’s opener and the White Sox bouncing back for a 5-1 victory on Tuesday. Now, with two games left in the series, both clubs have an opportunity to gain ground in a race that carries major implications for American League playoff […]
September finally matters for the White Sox
The final day of August was steamy in Chicago: a stormy morning that gave way to rain interspersed with muggy stillness and a hot evening made noisy by the mournful lust of the last cicadas. We tick into September, and toward the fall, with summer heat. This has never been unusual; September is mostly summer, […]
Today in White Sox History: September 2
1918 In a season-ending doubleheader (the 1918 season ended early because of World War I) at Detroit, Buck Weaver rapped out eight hits in 10 at-bats. The Sox would lose the games, 11-5 and 7-3. Weaver went 5-for-5 in the first game and 3-for-5 in the second. He had two doubles among his eight hits. The 1918 […]
White Sox cruise past Astros, 5-1
The White Sox (73-65) rebounded from Monday’s rough loss to the Astros (70-69), defeating Houston behind South Side ace Sean Burke. The righthander earned his eighth win of the season. Despite getting off to a rocky start in the bottom of the first, Burke battled through his 5 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit while […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 1, 2026
Charlotte Knights 3, Gwinnett Stripers 1 (10 innings) Noah Schultz took the hill for the Knights (72-61) and breezed through four innings. Then came the fifth: a leadoff single, an airmailed throw by Schultz and a sacrifice fly, and suddenly the Stripers were on the board. Schultz’s night ended after 4 2/3 innings. He allowed […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-65) at Astros (70-68)
After falling flat in Monday night’s series opener, the White Sox will aim to improve their situational hitting in an effort to provide run support for their ace Sean Burke. With yesterday’s loss, the Good Guys still hold a three-game lead in the AL Central, but Chicago needs to take care of business in Houston […]

Get the best of South Side Sox on the new SB Nation app
With the White Sox stunning baseball — and most of us fans — with their stranglehold on first place throughout the second half, life has been pretty good on the South Side this summer. And, believe it or not, our fan experience now has gotten even better. It’s a big day for South Side Sox. […]

Today in White Sox History: September 1
1905 Five years into their time as an official MLB team, the White Sox made their first-ever Rule 5 draft picks: catcher Branch Rickey and middle infielder George Andreas from the unaffiliated Dallas Giants. Rickey was sold to the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association before the 1906 season, but made his MLB debut in […]
Sloppy defense and soft offense hand the White Sox a hard loss in Houston
The White Sox disappointed in the first game of this four-game series in Houston, falling 6-3 to the Astros. Things were calm until the third inning, when Anthony Kay saw a little base path trouble after a throwing error and a walk put two runners on. Yordan Alvarez sent Nick Allen in to score with […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-64) at Astros (69-68)
The White Sox continue their road trip with a stop in Houston to see the Astros, before they come back home to see another division rival. With the Guardians trying to steal first, a series win is needed as we enter September. First, a few White Sox announcements: Prior to tonight’s series opener at Houston, […]

1926 In a twin bill at Detroit, White Sox infielder Ray Morehart tied a major-league record in cranking out nine hits in 10 at-bats! Morehart went 5-for-6 in the opener, and then capped it off with a 4-for-4 performance in the nightcap. Two of his nine hits were doubles. Morehead’s five hits fueled a 19-2 win in the opener, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 30, 2026
Let’s lead off with some potentially exciting news, and news that could possibly eliminate the pesky bullpen games that have been plaguing the White Sox all season (including in Sunday’s loss at the Twins): Drew Thorpe was scratched from his Sunday start for Charlotte. Now, for a pitcher coming back from two years off and […]
Zebby Matthews didn’t Maddux the White Sox, but Chicago falls to Twins, 5-1
Other than the first inning Friday night, the White Sox had mostly been dependent on big help from the Twins to score runs this series, and this time the Twins forgot to help. Particularly unhelpful was Zebby Matthews, who retired the first 17 Sox and only needed 89 pitches to get through the first eight […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-63) at Twins (64-72)
The White Sox will be going for a series sweep and fifth straight victory this afternoon against a Twins team that has lost four in a row and has been very generous in the first two games. Jordan Hicks will be playing the role of opener for the Sox for only the second time, his […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Confidence brims
It was a heady question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians winding up the easiest stretch of schedule ever known, and riding it to a seven-game winning streak. But as we did, even as the White Sox lead in the AL Central was getting nibbled by the minnows: Would Chicago hold on and finish tall […]
Today in White Sox History: August 30
1931 Forty years after the Rule 5 draft had began, the White Sox made their first Rule 5 pick from another MLB team: second baseman Carey Selph, hitting .322 for the Houston Buffaloes in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Given that only injury had prevented Selph from ascending permanently to the majors, the perception was […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 29, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Memphis Redbirds 4 (Opener — 9 innings)The Knights (69-61) opened up Saturday’s doubleheader with a bang, forcing a pair of extra innings before walking off the Redbirds (71-59) in nine innings. Because it was a seven-inning game, it was key that the Charlotte took an early three-run lead in the bottom of […]
White Sox accept gift from Twins, 3-2
Andrew Benintendi had three hits and was involved all three White Sox runs. The rest of the team had zilch. Didn’t matter, because the Twins are really bad, resulting in a 3-2 game and series win for the White Sox. Benintendi’s first hit was an RBI single in the first, a 78 mph squib through […]
