After splitting a pair of games in Cincinnati in which they allowed a grand total of *checks notes* one run, the White Sox flew to Kansas City to begin an important early-season two week stretch against the then-division leading Royals and Twins. They got off to a strong start with a three-game road sweep of […]

JUST LIKE WE DREW IT UP — White Sox 3, Royals 0
Early in Spring Training, the White Sox bullpen playbook would be to get six solid innings from the starter, and then run Codi Heuer, Aaron Bummer and Liam Hendriks out there for the final three innings to lock down a win. For the first time I can remember this year, that worked out just the […]
CEASE THE DAY — White Sox 9, Reds 0
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” […]
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 […]
Northside Krausencast Episode 6
https://anchor.fm/krausencast/embed/episodes/Northside-Krausencast-Episode-6-emekp9 The four asswholes discuss the awesomeness of the universal DH, Jose Abreau’s MVP, the robbery of Yu Darvish’s Cy Young award, the prospects for the 2021 Cubs, what makes a Cubs fan favorite, and the laws governing the importation of sheeps’ lungs for the purposes of making haggis.
Everything Is Stupid. Cubs – 0; Marlins – 2
Yu Darvish pitched well. Sixto Sanchez was really good — that kid has a future. However, the lack of a Cubs offense, as has been the case all year, means this is the last recap of the year. My frustration is going to make me put as much effort into this as the Cubs offense […]
