When you’re in the midst of a run of 22 wins over 27 games like the White Sox are in, you’re bound to have a lot of fun, which makes it easy to laugh in the dugout when your teammate does this while sliding into third: Predictably, the internet had some fun with this, and […]

HI MOM! — White Sox 4, Tigers 3
The White Sox usually potent offense only mustered three hits Friday in the opener of a 3-game set against the Tigers at Sox Park, but it was just enough to get the win and keep the Sox on top of the AL Central. THE GOOD: Eloy Jimenez. Jimenez had two of the three Sox hits, […]
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT — White Sox 5, Royals 3
The Sox came into tonight a half game ahead of Minnesota and Cleveland, and with both of those teams winning in walk-off fashion, the Sox had to take care of business to maintain that ever so slim edge, and they did just that on a hot night in Kansas City with a 5-3 win over […]
LEADERS OF THE PACK — White Sox 8, Twins 5
Lucas Giolito didn’t replicate his historic no-hitter Monday night at Target Field, and didn’t even figure in the decision. In fact, he struggled in the 2nd inning, and the defense behind him uncharacteristically committed three errors in the frame. But he battled, and kept the Sox within striking distance to allow the offense to come […]
JUST WALK IT OFF — White Sox 2, Royals 2, F/10 (Sox win charades 3-0)
Sunday went about as well as any White Sox fan could hope as the games involving Minnesota and Cleveland ended in losses for both of those teams. However, the Sox rubber match with the Royals on the South Side hung in the balance after noted Sox-killer Whit Merrifield hit a game-tying home run in the […]
FROM THE HOME OFFICE: OHHHH, WE’RE HALFWAY THERE — White Sox halfway recap
After Wednesday’s 10-3 drubbing of the hapless Pirates on the South Side, the White Sox are one game past the halfway point of this 60 game Race to COVID, and they’re in very good shape to not only make the playoffs, but possibly win the AL Central. With Cleveland’s victory over the Twins later on […]
EIGHT (OF NINE) IS ENOUGH — White Sox 10, Pirates 3
After getting no-hit last night, the Pirates got their first hit of the series on the very first pitch of the game from Sox starter Dallas Keuchel. That was about as close as the Pirates would get to winning this game, as Keuchel settled down, and the Sox offense put up 10 runs to sweep […]
HARD NO — White Sox 4, Pirates 0
Lucas Giolito re-invented his game ahead of the 2019 season, and it led to an All Star Game appearance. What would he do for an encore? Well, his Opening Day start didn’t inspire much confidence, but he has rebounded since then, and his redemption story reached an apex Tuesday night on the South Side, as […]
SWEEP HOME CHICAGO — White Sox 9, Tigers 0
The White Sox finished off a four-game sweep of the Motor City Kitties with an emphatic 9-0 trouncing Thursday afternoon at the G-Spot, led by a dominant outing by Lucas Giolito. It was the first four-game sweep of Detroit (sucks!) since 2005. Remember that year, anyone? THE GOOD: Lucas Giolito. He was more than good […]
BIRD BRAINED — Cardinals 5, White Sox 1 (Game 1)
The Cardinals played their first game in 17 days Saturday at the G-Spot, but you wouldn’t know it after the first inning of play. The dirty birds from St. Louis put up four runs on Lucas Giolito, and rode that to a 5-1 win in the first of two seven-inning games Saturday. THE GOOD: Danny […]
