Today in White Sox History: September 17
It was a somewhat muted celebration during a somewhat muted season, but the White Sox clinched the playoffs one year ago today. | Jonathan Daniel/ Two playoff clinches, 37 years apart. 1971 The White Sox defeated the California Angels, 9-4, at Comiskey Park. An unusual event marked this game. All nine players in the White Sox lineup that night got one RBI — including pitcher Bart Johnson, who started, gave up eight hits, and struck out 12 in going the distance. 1983 Before a packed house at Comiskey Park, Harold Baines hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Julio Cruz with...

Angels derail White Sox, 9-3
Tough day on the mound: Reynaldo López hit a speed bump, as he struggled against the Angels. | Photo by Jonathan Daniel/ And it wasn’t nearly that close When a team goes behind 9-0 and only gets back a smidge closer because the other manager is kind enough to use a reliever who has no business in the major leagues anymore, you’d think it would be hard to find highlights... But, no! There were White Sox highlights! Lots of them. Well, okay, not many, but there was this: First @MLB career strikeout for Romy González! pic.twitter.com/wIggdQ1cy8— Chicago White Sox...

Falling apart early: The Angels jumped out to a big lead and never looked back. | FanGraphs Play stupid games with the lineup, win stupid prizes in the box score Yeah, that sucked. Like the dek says—you can only expect so much when you look at the bottom half of the lineups the Sox are throwing out there.

Sharing Sox Podcast 53 — Ides of September Edition
White Sox couldn’t have an easier schedule if they drew it up themselves As the White Sox head into the final 18 games of the regular season, SSS duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, gaze into ye olde crystal ball and see an immediate future mostly full of teams that wouldn’t even be in the major leagues if relegation existed. That, of course, bodes well for the effort to gain home-field advantage in round one of the playoffs, especially since the Astros still have to face Oakland six times and Tampa Bay three. The conversation then...

Angels Dust White Sox, 3-2
Yoán Moncada of the Chicago White Sox celebrates in the dugout after hitting a home run in the fourth inning against the Angels at Guaranteed Rate Field on Sept. 15, 2021. | Jamie Sabau/ Dallas Keuchel was better. Or was he? Of course. Suggest a game will be a pitchers’ duel and you end up with a 12-9 slugfest So, naturally, if you suggest a slugfest because of weak starting pitching, you get a pitchers’ duel. Or sort of one, anyway. Both starting pitchers were much better than expected, especially given the very low expectations. Angels rookie Janson Junk, making...

The White Sox must cash in on games like this if they want home-field advantage in the playoffs. | FanGraphs The magic number remains at seven It was a close game, but the White Sox struggled against the wave, and ultimately, the Angels.
