The Yerminator’s numbers have been trending downward since the end of April, making him a liability in the lineup
There wasn’t a better story in April than Yermín Mercedes emphatically breaking onto the baseball scene, with his chains flopping as he rounded the bases and infectious smile making him an instant fan favorite.
He’s a 28-year-old rookie who battled his way through the minor leagues. Then, when given his first extended chance in...

Lós torments the Tigers and tattoos Texas in a pair of no-hit bids
While the White Sox may have met their match with the Houston Astros this week, there’s still much to be celebrated about this South Side rotation.
Carlos Rodón made the only solid appearance of the four Texas outings, carrying a no-hitter into the fifth inning. Across his seven-inning appearance, he allowed just a single earned run, keeping his sparkling clean ERA at a lemony-fresh...
Ted Lyons had a unique, and incredibly effective, 1942 season. He notched his 250th win before leaving for a four-year hitch in the Marines.
A milestone win for a franchise great
1942White Sox pitcher and future Hall-of-Famer Ted Lyons won his 250th career game, beating the Red Sox, 6-5.
That season, Lyons only pitched on Sundays, and posted this incredible statistic: In his 20 starts that year he completed all 20 games! He went 14-6 with a league-leading 2.10 ERA. At the end of the...
Chrystal O’Keefe, Joe Resis, Darren Black and Tommy Barbee hop on with Brett Ballantini to discuss a disastrous weekend in Houston, and the state of the Sox moving forward
A four-game losing streak? Podcast!
Chrystal O’Keefe, Joe Resis, Tommy Barbee, Darren Black and Brett Ballantini gathered post-sweep to discuss the panic level (very low) and prospects for bringing in help to bolster the club (also, very low).
Aside from Brett forgetting Chrystal’s name, here are some chat...

Two huge brawls scar the day

Houston, we had a problem. Luckily, Pittsburgh and Seattle await the swept South Siders
Houston, we had a problem.
The Chicago White Sox are swept out of Houston with struggling pitching, poor defense, and almost nonexistent extra-base hits. Luckily, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Seattle Mariners are the two upcoming series that should help the Sox regain their confidence and swagger.

In this new North Side Sox segment, we bring you up close and personal to minor league life
In this new segment from your friends at the North Side Sox Podcast, we invite you to get to know the guys of the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, the White Sox Low-A affiliate in the East League.
We’re especially excited to bring you a hometown guy for our inaugural episode: Ballers third baseman DJ Gladney. The 19-year-old (soon to be 20) was drafted by the White Sox in the...

Three wins, and three amazing starting pitching performances from Jason Bilous, Jerry Burke and Bailey Horn
WOOF. In the three affiliate wins tonight, the starters combined for 15 innings, TWO HITS and 20 Ks. But just two wins!

The South Siders couldn’t recover from Houston’s four-run third inning
One more game, and the White Sox (43-28) can leave Houston. A 7-3 loss to the Astros on Saturday adds to arguably the most frustrating three-game stretch of the season, but there’s still a chance to salvage a win on Sunday.

Sort of in-between getting slaughtered on Thursday and walked-off on Friday
Lance Lynn celebrated getting his 1,500th career strikeout by then getting pummeled by the Houston Astros, something that happened to him regularly when he pitched for Texas. The first time through the lineup went just fine, five strikeouts and one unearned run following a Yoán Moncada throwing error. But the second...

At least it’s a lefty this time
After scoring only three runs combined against Houston righthanders in the first two games of the series, the White Sox are probably pretty happy to be getting a southpaw to bat against in game three. The problem is the southpaw in question, who will be facing Lance Lynn.
Framber Valdez...
All the hits for the team and singing the National Anthem? Lamar Johnson, have a day
1926The Sox celebrated Eddie Collins Day at Comiskey Park. Collins would be admitted into the Hall of Fame in 1939 and was one of the finest second baseman in major league history. He played 12 seasons with the White Sox and is the only member of the 3,000-hit club to get that safety in a White Sox uniform.

The group is on a hot streak this year, so prospective improvements to the active roster are in good hands
During Rick Hahn’s tenure as general manager of the White Sox, the pro scouting department has been rightly questioned, as bad money was too often spent and mistakes were all too familiar.
While changes to that department have occurred, they’re...

The Knights only hit two home runs tonight, and it was not enough to overcome the four allowed by starting pitcher Jonathan Stiever. When he struggles, he tends to give up the long ball, and the Knights ballpark is one that lends itself to that kind of thing.
So definitely an outing to forget for Stiever, who didn’t survive the sixth inning; he gave up six runs, walking...
