The White Sox Report Archives
Minnie Miñoso Was Very, Very Good To Us
Electric, indefatigable and, finally, undenied.
Sad Sacks
In just about all aspects during this series, the Sox were woefully inadequate.
Astros Opening
If the Sox are eliminated early next week, chances are a careless mistake will be the culprit.
How It Started
For aficionados of a ballclub that launches into a rebuild, the early years move at a snail's pace. Ninety-five losses four years ago followed by 100 and 89 the next two seasons before earning a wild card playoff berth a year ago.
Grateful Gambling
The surest bet is that in the next five years all the aspiring wiseguys will be able to wager at pari-mutuel windows in our city's major sports venues. Ironically, the one place where this has been true for almost 100 years, Arlington Park, will have been reduced to rubble.
In Park
Lot C and home field advantage.
Counting The Minutes
40,320 to be exact.
Pitch Switch
Dallas Keuchel and Reynaldo Lopez going in oddly opposite directions.
A New Complaint
Is Yoan Moncada actually the team's best player?
Baseball Fever
Catch it.
The Pitching Plan
Starters, starters, starters,
And So It Goes
History repeats itself by crushing schoolchildren everywhere except New York and LA.
Gambling At The Grate
As PointsBet buries the message, call 1-800-GAMBLER if problems arise.
That Was Fun - But Not Necessary
A must-win series? Hardly.
Here Comes October
Red flag: The Sox have pummeled teams with losing records this season to the tune of 38-11. They're 16-24 against the clubs with winning ledgers.
Yerminated
It was a joyous month, but chances are we'll never see Yermín Mercedes around these parts again.
Santiago Sunday & The Sox
So between the Sox dinky attack, the Santiago affair, Abreu's injury, and Hendriks giving up the game-winner, we did something Sunday that we haven't done in years.
Forget Houston
Tony's troops still holding it down.
Next Team Up
The wins have piled up right along with the injuries.
Hero For A Day
Did anyone mention that La Russa's 2,388 losses also are second only to Mack's 3,948? That's what longevity can do.
Bunt Grunt
Trying to decipher Tony La Russa's much-reviled old-school tactic.
The Stats Behind The Slump
Over a short span the club can get hot, but reality tends to prevail during a 162-game marathon.
Tony La Russa's Inflection Point
This might sound panicky and an overreaction, but the events of the past two nights have made today's game pivotal to the this season's journey.
The White Sox Report: Ticket Stubs, Vendors & Zip Ties
The new fan experience so far.
He Gets On Base
Yasmani Grandal's abysmal batting average is only part of the story.
Judging Tony
Let's just say that the criticism aimed at La Russa has been overly severe while few can argue that La Russa is the same manager he was at Oakland and St. Louis.
Catching Fire
Nicky Two Strikes, Yaz and the Yerminator.
A Box Of No-Hitters
Some are perfectos, and others are like Edwin Jackson's.
Not To Worry, White Sox Fans
This is not complicated.
The Yerminator Has Landed
From the Pecos League to the record books.
