The Clock Strikes Midnight on Avisail Garcia
“I know I will do better” were the words from Avisail Garcia this past winter when he was asked about the upcoming season. Unfortunately for both Garcia and the Chicago White Sox, Garcia hasn’t been all that much better. At the moment, Garcia sports a very pedestrian .242/.302/.389 batting line, which is good enough for […]
South Side Morning 5: Fixes to White Sox roster are running late
1. Carlos Rodon is mad at White Sox management. Not the sort of deep, intractable anger that hastens his departure the moment free agency strikes, but the type of annoyance at the caution being employed to yank him from the rotation for a turn that provides some assurance.

With the White Sox season in a baffling tailspin, BP South Side turns to the wisdom of famed German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Previously we called upon the Röcken native to provide ideal answers to post-game questions, now we call upon him to shed some light on the Pale Hose’s current troubles. Now that the White […]
Tigers 5, White Sox 2: This Is Fine
Given how comprehensively the White Sox have failed for a month straight now, it comes as no surprise that they have figured out a different style of impotently collapsing for each division rival. After they helped vault Kansas City into first with three straight bullpen meltdowns of biblical proportions, they decided this three-game set against […]
White Sox acquire a suddenly affordable James Shields
The dust has settled, and we have our official trade: James Shields for Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. The White Sox owe Shields $5 million for the rest of 2016. If he does not opt out after 2016, which a good finish could easily motivate the 34-year-old to do, he will be owed $10 […]
