Two teams, two split doubleheaders, with the Charlotte Knights putting on a show in game two
Box score link
The Tides overwhelmed the Knights in seven innings, falling 8-2 in game one of a doubleheader. Kyle Kubat couldn’t get out of the third or even an out in the third after he allowed three runs in the first; he exited with two runs in,...

South Siders lose roller coaster Game 2, but did it even count, anyway?
Losses are annoying, but we’ll let it slide this time, and I’ll leave up the lede from Game 1 this afternoon. The White Sox (86-67) are the 2021 American League Central Division champions. Bask in it.
The StartersZach Plesac has to be thankful that Michael Kopech isn’t stretched out like he was prior to his hamstring injury. If he was,...
Warmup for meaningful postseason play, José? Fail. | Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
But seriously, who cares about a homer that sentenced the South Siders to a walk-off loss, they took a division today
With locks of gold and arm electric, Michael Kopech strode the mound for a nightcap start that could well have been an audition for a postseason shot, if not for the fact that he tossed just 27 pitches, 16 for strikes, ending in four Ks during two scoreless, hitless innings, and that...
Di Billick, Zach Hayes and globetrotter Trevor Lines join Brett Ballantini to celebrate the first division title on the South Side since 2008.

It’s been a sure thing since May, but making it official took a while.
It only took two pitches for the direction of the division-clinching game to be determined. Tim Anderson sent pitch No. 2 388 feet into the Progressive Field stands off of Aaron Civale, and sent and indicator of things to come.

The pitching held down the fort after the offense’s early outburst to claim Chicago’s first AL Central title in 13 years.
The White Sox (86-66) are the 2021 American League Central Division champions. Bask in it; say it again. Since their last division crown, the Twins and Tigers have each won it four times, Cleveland twice, Kansas City once. Each of those teams save the Royals have won it at least two straight seasons,...

Yep, it’s White Sox-Cleveland, nightcap after a clinch, so you’ll be able to smell the beer-soaked jerseys on the broadcast.
OK, we’re celebrating the division title all day here, so, whatever, here’s the nightcap gamethread, read it, don’t, I gotta get back to the real programming on site.
Let's play another one!

First title since 2008, and first back-to-back postseasons in history
The Chicago White Sox are Central Division champions!
It’s their first division title since 2008 and first “easy” division win since 2000. And while the 2020 mini-season was a weird one where half of major league...

Three triples in one game? On this day in 1995, Lance Johnson became the only White Sox player in history to accomplish the feat. | Mitchell Layton/Getty Images
One Dog and Pito have milestone games.
1995Lance Johnson got six hits in six at-bats in a game at Minnesota. Three of the hits were triples, and he drove in four runs in the 14-4 win. Johnson became the fourth player in team history to go 6-for-6, and the first to ever get three triples in a game. He had 12 total bases for...

It’s not often you can say this: Win a game, win a division
After 107 years and a couple of thousand games, the White Sox begin their final series against the Cleveland “Indians” with one of those seven-inning, day-night, “is this really baseball?” things. After this week, of course, the Cleveland team will become the first MLB squad sharing a name with a British newspaper (not first American major sports team, though — Phoenix Suns beat the Guardians to...
Because Cleveland took forever to change their name, I can take as long as I want to recognize it
Last timeJosé Abreu was plunked in the helmet in the first game of the series, and Tony La Russa boot-scooted his way into a legendary gif.
It was not something intentional (wink), but James Karinchak didn’t have his command that day, which is just a scary thing in general for the batters to face. But sure, call a pitch up and in, Roberto Pérez. And sticky stuff was the big deal...
Carlos Rodon has been one of the Chicago White Sox’s best starting pitchers all season long. The lefty is having a career year, and there’s no telling where Chicago would be without him.

With an unexpected day off, let’s line up the White Sox playoff rotation.
Remember the White Sox playoff run of just a year ago?
Yeah, it’s a painful, you may have blocked it out, because those last 10 days or so were rough — setting the team up, in retrospect at least, for an early...

Game will be made up next Monday; South Siders can clinch the division head-to-head against Cleveland on Thursday
[I believe, like Crash Davis in Bull Durham, Jacki Krestel may have succeeded in willing it to rain today, pushing the White Sox clinch to Cleveland, where in all likelihood they will secure the division title in the opener of tomorrow’s doubleheader. What follows below is her prepared gamethread as of early this...

A massive crowd at Midway Airport — and a nonexistent one, seven years later.
1959The White Sox clinched the American League pennant with a 4-2 win in Cleveland. Al Smith and Jim Rivera hit back-to-back home runs in the game. Smith also threw out former Sox star Minnie Miñoso at home plate.

Darren Black talks with Brett Ballantini about the best and worst surprises of the Birmingham, Winston-Salem, Kannapolis and ACL seasons.
Darren Black and Brett Ballantini took a few weeks off (!) but are back with the Farm podcast. With Birmingham, Winston-Salem, Kannapolis and the ACL White Sox all finished for the year, we took a look at good and bad surprises from the 2021 season.
The curious case of Birmingham Barons late collapse out of the playoffs, including the first rainout clinch...
