1. “Wow, what a game!” Or maybe it’s “ugh, that game went on forever.” Hopefully everyone is on board with the former, because after a winning series, it sure feels like a glass half-full kind of morning. The White Sox and Twins battled it out for 13 innings before the Twins were finally able to […]

South Side Morning 5: Cleveland Continues to Control White Sox
1. The White Sox entered Cleveland on Tuesday looking for their first win of the season at Progressive Field in five tries. Things started off very nicely with a Yoan Moncada double to deep left-center field Cleveland starting pitcher, Mike Clevinger. This was followed up by a hard-hit opposite field RBI single from Jose Abreu to […]
South Side Morning 10: White Sox Split With Twins
1. Yoan Moncada was the only White Sox player to score in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Twins. He led off the game with his eighth home run of the season which was an absolute bomb to centerfield. Moncada then scored another run in the fifth inning when he was driven home by a Jose […]
Where does Yolmer Sanchez Belong Among the Stars?
If you’re like me, you haven’t really enjoyed this season of White Sox baseball all that much. Even by the low bar of “rebuilding year,” the White Sox have stunk. As of writing, the White Sox are 16-36, putting themselves on pace for 112 losses with a winning percentage of just .308. Both of those would […]
Giancarlo Stanton Provides White Sox Opportunity to Improve
I’ve written about this quite a bit in the last few years, but if the White Sox truly want to compete in the future, they’re going to have to spend more money. It’s simply inevitable. When you look at recent examples of teams coming out of their scorched-earth rebuilds — think Astros, Cubs and even the […]
White Sox Score Huge Victory; Still Need to Continue Spending Money
On Saturday, the White Sox scored a big victory for the rebuilding effort when they landed 19-year old Cuban phenom Luis Robert. This was the type of move that everyone should be happy about, not only because Robert is incredibly talented and will likely be a top-15 global prospect upon his arrival in the minor leagues, […]
Some Final Thoughts on The Cubs and The Off-Season Ahead for the White Sox
The Chicago Cubs won the World Series and I sit here jealous of the team and its fans. The World Series was tough for me to watch not because I don’t like the Cubs (they’re a pretty fun team to watch) nor because some Cubs fans can be unbearable (every fanbase has meatballs, the Cubs […]
The 2016 White Sox Were Who They Were Destined to Be
When the initial PECOTA Projected standings came out in Mid-February, the White Sox were projected to win 82 games and lose 80 games. The White Sox then made their biggest (!) free agent acquisition of the winter and brought in Austin Jackson after training camp had already begun in March. Jackson’s acquisition was not without […]
The White Sox and the Disposition Effect
In Wednesday’s game against the Royals, Robin Ventura continued to fill out his dismal managerial resume with a number of questionable (read: bad) moves including but not limited to: intentionally walking Alcides Escobar, owner of a .587 OPS and .228(!) TAV, with two outs, intentionally walking Escobar again later in the game also with two […]
Should the White Sox Tear it All Down?
The trade deadline is less than a week away, and Kenny Williams doesn’t know if the White Sox will be buyers or sellers. Now, I’m certain (kinda) that’s just posturing by Williams, there’s no benefit for him to publicly tip his hand to other teams, but when you’re a fan of a franchise where your […]
