Don’t let the final score fool you: This one wasn’t close
Before the team took the field in Glendale this afternoon, the Pale Hose announced that Garrett Crochet has been named the White Sox Opening Day starter. While this will be Crochet’s first career major league start, he has been electric so far this spring. He has appeared in four spring games with one start, allowing seven...
White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet came into 2024 looking to make the move from the bullpen to the rotation. Not only will he break camp as a starter, but the Sox announced that Crochet will take the ball on Opening Day.
Former Tennessee Vols baseball star Garrett Crochet received some great news this week. Crochet learned that he'll be the opening day starter for the

Hahahah, or not. Happy? Yeah, right. I saw snow flurries out my window this morning — on the 18th day of March — MARCH! How the bloody hell does that make for a happy Monday? UGH.

The Chicago White Sox rumor mill continues to churn even after the highly anticipated Dylan Cease trade. This time, it's about an unsigned veteran outfielder.

On this day eight years ago, dumb things got much dumber for the South Siders
1942White Sox manager Jimmy Dykes granted Black players Jackie Robinson and Nate Moreland a tryout with the White Sox, while the Pale Hose conducted spring training in Pasadena, Calif. Neither player made the cut.
After also failing to make the Boston Red Sox after a tryout, Robinson was signed to play for the Kansas City Monarchs three...
Now that the Dylan Cease trade, which was long expected to happen, has come and gone, the White Sox must start anew, basically, with their pitching staff.
Mike Clevinger isn't a two-time Cy Young winner like Blake Snell, but he's not asking for the kind of commitment it would take to land Blake Snell, either.

The Chicago White Sox almost got the win after a home run in the top of the ninth, but the Oakland Athletics decided to tie it up in the bottom of the inning, 3-3, and that was that. There are barely any videos or any coverage of today’s game, so bear with me.

Sit back, folks, it’s the game of the year!
Happy Sunday and more importantly, happy St. Patrick’s Day! As if the White Sox don’t give enough reason to drink, at least today there’s a reasonable exception.
In all seriousness, the team will visit the Oakland Athletics at Hohokam Stadium, with Nick Nastrini and Alex Wood facing off.

The Chicago White Sox announced a roster move Sunday by sending Jared Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte. Shuster remains a member of the 40-man roster, and the White Sox now have 49 players on their Spring Training roster.
The Chicago White Sox will be without infielder Braden Shewmake for 2-4 weeks. Shewmake exited early from Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants with a sprained ankle.
On this day 114 years ago, Comiskey Park construction began.
What would happen if an entire spring training was rained out?
1903The White Sox left for what would become a disastrous spring training in New Orleans. Two straight weeks of rain would permit just two games to be played. The club would break for home early, yet still encounter some rain on the way back north.
1910Construction begins at 35th & Shields on the stadium that would eventually be called Comiskey Park. The ballpark would...

The 2024 White Sox are the perfect team to innovate with its pitching rotation
Yes, yes, I know. I’ve promoted the 3-3-3 pitching rotation before, as recently as the trading deadline last year after the White Sox sent off most of the pitching staff.
That was a good time to try the experiment. But now is even better.
In fact,...

White Sox face Giants and Mariners
It’s split-squad White Sox hosting split-squad Giants and other split-squad White Sox at split-squad Mariners, as the Sox have a chance to stretch their four-game winning streak to match or even exceed last season’s best run. And you even get to see one, if you want.

The Orioles have claimed outfielder Peyton Burdick off of waivers from the White Sox, the team announced. He has been optioned to minor league camp. Baltimore had an open spot on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was necessary.

A rundown of our lifetime MVPs, at 86 and counting
Given a second consecutive Player of the Week accolade plus the unlikelihood he’ll win a third straight (Eloy has not played since March 13, gulp), we’ll go a different direction with the essay this week.
Perhaps for the first time, let’s break down the running total of MVPs, which we have been naming now along with Mitch Ransdell’s art — based on South Side Sox reader votes — for four years now,...

A picturesque, picture-filled plea
Now is the time to put the Pale Hose to death!
No, not the team — that would be a tad drastic — the nickname. It was apt in 1910 when it was created. It ain’t apt now.
We’ll take a look at hose, pale and otherwise, through the years coming up, complete with pretty pictures. But first, we digress.
