Friday saw both the Cubs and White Sox’ truncated 2020 seasons come to an inglorious end, with the Cubs being dumped in a two game sweep by the Miami Marlins and the Sox losing in three games to the Oakland A’s. While both endings can certainly be seen as disappointing, they can each be viewed […]

We’re now seeing how they handle the pressure of a division title race, and apparently Angel Hernandez didn’t handle it all […]
Yep, we’re talking about White Sox playoff baseball. At least, we will be in a couple weeks when the postseason begins, because the White Sox 4-3 comeback victory over the Twins Thursday afternoon officially clinched the Sox a spot in the playoffs.
