After dealing with the gut punch that was Luis Robert going down with a torn hip flexor for 12-16 weeks, the White Sox marched on to Cincinnati to start a brief two-game series with the Reds. They handed the ball to Dylan Cease, fresh off his best outing in the bigs, and he somehow outdid […]

TIGER TAMERS — Sox Sweep Twinbill to Take Series from Detroit
After dropping the series opener in a game they should have won when the Tigers committed *FIVE* errors and getting rained out Wednesday, the White Sox took both ends of a doubleheader to take 2 out of 3 from the Tigers heading into a 3 game weekend set with Cleveland. In the opener on Tuesday, […]
MESSING WITH TEXAS — White Sox Sweep Rangers In Weekend 3-Game Set
The White Sox have finally put together a winning streak and are now above .500 after sweeping the Texas Rangers out of Chicago Sunday on the South Side. There was plenty of good to come out of this series, even if it was against one of the bottom-feeders in the AL West. Stalwarts like Jose […]
LET’S WIN TWO — CHI 3, BOS 2 (Gm1); CHI 5, BOS 1 (Gm2)
The pair of Sox played a pair of games Sunday after Friday’s first game was snowed out in Beantown, and Chicago’s Sox came out ahead in both games. Tim Anderson got the first game started on the game’s first pitch, with a solo home run to right-center field. Yasmani Grandal drove in a run with […]
DIRTY LAUNDRY — Yellow Sox 7, White Sox 4
After Thursday’s snow-out, the White Sox returned to action Saturday in Boston, against a Red Sox team that looked more like the UCLA Bruins than their usual selves. Boston debuted their “City Connect” edition jerseys, inspired by the finish line of the Boston Marathon. They’re the first of seven MLB teams to wear “City Connect” […]
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER — White Sox 8, Cleveland 0
On Tuesday night at Sox Park, Lucas Giolito and Cleveland’s Shane Bieber put on a master class in pitching in the big leagues, with the two combining for 16 scoreless innings between the two starters, and they only allowed three hits each. Bieber struck out 11 Sox hitters over 9 innings, while Giolito fanned eight […]
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER — White Sox 4, Cleveland 3
After dropping Sunday’s game in extras, the White Sox welcomed Cleveland in for the first of 19 games, and a tight game went the Sox way in the bottom of the 9th on a fortunate bounce, as the Sox benefited from a bad defensive play by the opposition. THE GOOD: The bullpen, which had struggled […]
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME — White Sox 6, Royals 0
The White Sox played their first home game in front of fans; a sold-out crowd of 8,207, since late September of 2019, and despite a less-than-stellar opening road trip, the Sox put on a show in front of the home faithful in Thursday’s home opener. Now, to be fair, the Sox usually struggle on the […]
LET ME SHOW YOU THE ERROR OF YOUR WAYS — White Sox 4, Angels 7
The story of the first three games of this season-opening series has been the White Sox defense allowing unearned runs, and allowing two winnable games to get away from them, and turn into losses. And the one they did win, got too close for comfort too. But on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, the script was […]
YERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY — White Sox 3, Angels 5
After going 5-for-5 in his first big-league start Friday night, Tony LaRussa seemingly had no choice but to put Yermin Mercedes back in the line up as the DH, and he picked up where he left off Saturday night in his 2nd start. Unfortunately, the 8th inning got the best of the Sox bullpen, and […]
