It sure is a lot more fun when the White Sox are playing well. They are, at the moment, with the latest evidence coming in the form of two wins in three games in Boston, including a mostly successful season debut by Carlos Rodon and a 1-0 win against old friend Chris Sale. The White Sox are […]
The White Sox vs. Chris Sale a stark reminder of the past, present, and future
It’s been 18 months since the White Sox traded Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox.

I can describe injuries and recovery time tables with confidence after some remodeling from quadruped to human. But the one I get the most excited for is drugs. Drugs are drugs are drugs, […]
Welington Castillo’s suspension puts White Sox in tough spot
Welington Castillo’s 80-game suspension for violating MLB’s joint drug agreement, which was first reported by Dominican reporter Americo Celado and confirmed by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, puts the White Sox in a position of both dealing with and reacting to a player being hit with such a punishment, as well as stuck with a roster hole […]
