L 0 - 0 Home sweet home! White Sox crush Marlins, 9-1
“This is my game.” And it indeed was, as Iván Nova spearheaded a 9-1 win. | Photo by David Banks/ Iván Nova goes the distance, and the bats dig the long ball A great start for the Chicago White Sox just kept getting better. After the game got off to an ominous start, with Ivan Nova hitting Curtis Granderson, Nova and the defense were able to get through the inning unscathed with just five more pitches. Then, the offense got to work, spurring a 9-1 win over the Miami Marlins. After Jon Jay singled and reached second, Jose Abreu lined a double down the left-field line to open up the...

Six Pack of Stats: Rays 4, White Sox 2
FanGraphs One swing in the bottom of the second is all Tampa would need A sweep of the tough Tampa Bay Rays, on the road in the Hovering Sombrero no less, proved to be too heady a task for the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Let’s dig deeper into the numbers behind the loss. 3 Stars Blake Snell, Rays, LHSP (six innings, three hits, two walks, 10 Ks .228 wins)Travis d’Arnaud, Rays, C (1-for-3, grand slam, .153 wins)Yolmer Sánchez, White Sox, 2B (2-for-4, double, triple, RBI, R, K, .077 wins) -.227 Mainly due to just one lousy (second) inning, White Sox starter Dylan Cease was the least...

Single swing sinks Sox 4-2
Santa threw out the first pitch. He had better control than either starter had early. | Photo by Julio Aguilar/ If only the first two innings just counted as warm-up... Not to press the worn-out Cease-and-desist line or anything, but if Dylan Cease could desist from starting badly, the kid should have a future. But those openings innings? Yuk. This time around it was only two innings of wildness in and out of the zone, but that was enough to Cease talk of a good game (okay, enough of that). Dylan got through the first inning on 21 pitches with some help from a strike zone roughly the...

McCann hits clutch blast in 2-1 win
Tough luck: Giolito got a no-decision despite pitching admirably in Tampa Bay. | Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Lucas Giolito earns no-decision in excellent performance Both starting pitchers played admirably in tonight’s low-scoring game. Neither starter allowed a baserunner in the first two innings. Old friend Avisaíl García hit a sharp line drive in the second inning, but Leury García made a web gem to rob him of an extra-base hit.

Reynaldo López runs down Rays in 9-2 romp
Better late than never: Second half ReyLo has arrived! | Photo by Julio Aguilar/ White Sox fans rejoice, the rough, seven-game losing streak is over! The seven-game losing streak is put to an end! And there wasn’t even much suspense, as the Chicago White Sox tore through Tampa Bay Rays pitching phenom Brendan McKay in a 9-2 runaway on Friday night. We can thank my lucky rabbit’s foot for that, as well as South Side Sox’s very own Ashley Sanders, who is down in Tampa Bay cheering on our White Sox. @LGio27 is an All-Star in and out of the game! pic.twitter.com/uoCluimRYE— Ashley...

Gamethread: White Sox at Rays
Second half ReyLo: coming in hot. | Photo by Jason O. Watson/ López looks to help the South Siders snap a seven-game losing streak The White Sox are on a seven-game losing streak as they head to Tampa Bay for a three-game weekend series. The losing streak ends tonight! (hopefully) Reynaldo López is on the mound for the White Sox. ReyLo’s ERA currently sits at 5.97. With his last outing in Oakland being a quality start, giving up no earned runs, it finally got his ERA just a few ticks below 6.00. Second-half ReyLo will be awesome. I declared it before his last outing, and he didn’t...

The Name Game
Go back back back: The master of the nickname gets the trophy | Photo by Tim Bradbury/ Has the time come for national White Sox nicknames? It could just be a fan’s misguided hopes, but it had seemed to me before the All-Star break that the White Sox were becoming a team. Not a good team yet, by any means, and regressing badly after the break, but no longer just a bunch of guys who like to dress up in the same kinky outfits. They’ve even got their cliches covered: Spirit leader fun guys Yolmer, Leury and, now, Eloy Thinkers like McCann and Giolito An elder statesman like...

The Sox are swept in back-to-back series
Keep your head up, kid: Losing seven straight coming out of the All-Star break calls for frustration, but there’s a game tomorrow — focus. | Photo by Jamie Squire/ A five-run Kansas City third doomed Chicago in a 6-5 loss The last seven games have been a nightmare for Chicago White Sox fans, but they have been an utter dream for the Kansas City Royals. The Sox are swept in back-to-back series, but they hope to sweep one of their own in St. Pete against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hopefully, this is the last loss that we have to analyze for the forseeable future. Leury García and Yoán...
