2016 MLB Draft: Trying to make sense of the speculation
We are officially less than a month from the start of the 2016 MLB Draft, and getting a grasp on the players who will potentially be available for the White Sox to pick at the No. 10 spot of the first round doesn’t seem to be getting any more clear than it was a few […]
Catching: A Concern
When I was younger, my friends and I would spend hours upon hours in the Michigan winters playing in the snow. One of our favorite games to play as a group was King of the Hill. We’d pile up snow as high as we could, and then half a dozen or so 10-to-12-year-olds would madly […]
White Sox acquire reliever Ranaudo from Rangers
Texas reliever Anthony Ranaudo entered Tuesday’s rain-soaked game against the White Sox in the third inning when the game’s starter, Derek Holland, was unable to complete the frame after the game resumed following a 78 minute rain delay. Ranaudo somehow managed to record four outs for Texas in what wound up a 13-11 Rangers victory, but not before walking […]
Reinsdorf Made Big Donations to Rauner, Rahm, Other ISFA Influencers
For more than three decades, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has been getting fat on government subsidies. In that time, he’s made sure to stuff the hands that feed him. In a search of individual donors since 1994 (when the Illinois State Board of Elections began digitizing records), BP South Side found $731,413 in political […]
South Side Morning 5: A day off to heal grievous facial wounds
1. Todd Frazier looks like someone punched him in the face, right below his bottom lip. Considering the possibilities that were shuffled through after he superhero leaped into the stands in Arlington and stuck a face first landing on a hard plastic seat, before sprinting off the field with his glove cupping his face (to […]
Rangers 6, White Sox 5: Bullpen shows signs of vulnerability in Texas
For the second straight game, the White Sox bullpen coughed up a lead to the Texas Rangers, falling 6-5 and bringing their record to 23-12. For the first time all year, the White Sox fell in a game started by Mat Latos. Of course, this was bound to happen, and looked increasingly inevitable in Latos’ […]

South Side Morning 5: Everything is still good for now
1. With the White Sox flying out to an unreal six-game lead in the AL Central on May 10, it seemed like it would be a fun exercise to find the last time an AL Central winner had to claw back from a six-game deficit. It turns out, it was not a fun exercise. The last club […]
White Sox 8, Rangers 4: Frazier slam caps night of rallies
Todd Frazier will likely play too large of a role in the White Sox franchise’s fortune over the next two years to have just one single game he’s remembered by. Yet still, for now at least, this is the Todd Frazier game. 1. Frazier’s 12th inning bomb with the bases juiced, his second homer of […]
