The White Sox were suddenly and shockingly a topic du jour of the baseball world Monday, less than a week after their counterparts to the north had captured a momentous World Series title in thrilling fashion. However the attention is for an entirely ignonimous honor, which could probably discerned from the opening barbs of Joel […]

Year in Review: Carlos Rodon
The White Sox front office expected the team to compete in 2016, as did many fans. However, in order to compete the White Sox needed quite a few unlikely things to happen. One of those things was having Carlos Rodon grow into a top of the rotation starter. Rodon had a very encouraging finish to […]
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 […]
Matt Albers’ declined option means it’s hot stove time
So far, it looks like everything in real life is mirroring our grand offseason plan. At least the part where the Sox release all the players who were bad in 2016 and can easily be jettisoned. Let it never be said again that the Sox won’t eat money to part with a struggling player after […]
What can the White Sox take away from the World Series – LATE
At press time, the World Series finale was still undecided. We had no choice but to publish what we had. Congratulations to the [Cleveland Indians/Chicago Cubs]!!! The drought is over!!! While it would be sweeter if the Sox were in it themselves, it’s encouraging to see validation that [AL Central baseball is not total garbage like […]
The leg issue you might’ve guessed David Robertson had
Scott Merkin of whitesox.com reported Tuesday that White Sox closer David Robertson had surgery to clean up a meniscus issue in his left knee that had been bothering him for a while. That’s great for David, knee surgery is awesome and I try to get one once per month if I can find time away […]
It’s Guaranteed Rate Field now
Just one day before a seemingly silent transition could have occurred from one ill-fitting stadium sponsor to another, the universe–or Crain’s Danny Ecker–gave us one more delightful wrinkle. “A commitment to branding is why the signs going up this week around the 25-year-old stadium look virtually the same as the company’s logo, except for the word ‘field’ […]
The only time of year Rymer Liriano gets top billing
Story juxtaposition is one of those things we like to discuss so much, we have developed a built-in reflex for qualifying that it’s completely meaningless, so that we can smoothly transition back to discussing it. The White Sox making a waiver claim for Brewers outfielder Rymer Liriano isn’t something we should compare to the Cubs being busy […]
James Shields is staying for now
Well, something very obvious has happened. White Sox RHP James Shields will officially opt in to the final two years of his deal, source confirms to @SBNation. Was a formality. — Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) October 27, 2016 The White Sox now owe James Shields $10 million per season for 2017 and 2018, and $2 million […]
White Sox Year in Review: David Robertson
David Robertson’s time in Chicago has been a waste. I don’t mean that literally, of course. He’s thrown 125.2 mostly good innings in his two years with the White Sox, and made $21 million doing it. That’s not a waste! Nor do I mean it in the same sense of “The White Sox are wasting […]
