KatyPerrysBootyHole And Wetbutt23 Broke The Jose Quintana Trade
The White Sox’s trade of starter Jose Quintana to the Cubs for four minor leaguers went down with remarkable secrecy, with no leaks and no rumors that the teams were even working on it.

White Sox Writer Believes Team's First Half Was Not As Bad As It Could Have Been

White Sox Pitcher Gives Up First Career Dingers To Three A's Rookies
James Shields took the mound today for the sad-sack White Sox, and in the course of pitching three brutal innings gave up a two-run dinger to Matt Olson, another two-run dinger to Franklin Barreto, and a solo dong to Jaycob Brugman. Olson, Barreto, and Brugman are rookies. It’s wild enough to give u...
White Sox Announcer Rejects Fried Pickle
As the Chicago White Sox were beating the hell out of the Baltimore Orioles—a bullshit team favored by Deadspin staffer Laura Wagner and Gizmodo Media Special Projects Desk deputy editor Tom Scocca—play-by-play man Jason Benetti offered a fried pickle to color man Steve Stone, who refused to enjoy i...
White Sox Batter Attempts To Reach Base Using Novel Technique
Why the Chicago White Sox claimed Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Alen Hanson off waivers last week and then added him to their roster remains unclear. Hanson, 24, hit .205/.239/.261 in parts of two seasons in the National League; his minor-league record doesn’t suggest he has much to offer at the plat...
White Sox Benefit From Series Of Cartoonish Errors And Misplays, Still Fail To Score
Willy Garcia was the very lucky recipient of one bad read, one fumbled catch and one airmailed throw on a fly ball he hit to deep right field tonight. Granted all of those advantages, he was then thrown out at the plate:...
How Did Umpires Declare This A Home Run?
Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier’s defense has such a strong reputation that when he misplayed this fly ball in the first inning of Tampa Bay’s game Tuesday against the White Sox, umpires decided the ball must have struck one of Tropicana Field’s rings—and awarded batter Yolmer Sanchez a home run....

White Sox Promote Adam Engel From Triple-A
Today, the Chicago White Sox promoted center fielder Adam Engel from Triple-A Charlotte, where he was hitting .221/.312/.463. Engel takes a roster spot vacated by utility man Tyler Saladino, who is on the 10-day disabled list with “sciatic nerve related stuff.” Engel got a hit in the eighth inning o...
White Sox Manager Not Worried About White Sox Ace's Lousy Night
White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana laid an egg tonight. The Diamondbacks battered Quintana and sent him packing after 4.1 innings, slapping eight hits and scoring eight runs off of 76 Quintana pitches. Seven Diamondbacks struck out, but tonight was easily Quintana’s worst night of the season. His ERA l...
White Sox Create Hellish Artifact
Why an alarm clock that wakes you up by having Hawk Harrelson scream “You can put it on the board ... YESSSS!” at you exists I just can’t tell you, though Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune has reported that we came close to living in a reality where the clock yelled “You gotta be bleepin’ me!” at ...
Zack Greinke Is Back To Humiliating Men At The Plate<em></em>
There’s no player in baseball—and maybe all of sports—quite like Zack Greinke. The man is a machine: efficient on the field, serious and direct off it, and constantly experimenting. He’s lost around five miles per hour off his fastball over the years, but Greinke on a night when he’s going well is s...
White Sox Announcers Have Inane Conversation
Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year—the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti—he remains one. During the other half of the year, which he spends calling Sox road games with Hawk Harrelson, he bec...
Reports: White Sox Sign Cuban Top Prospect Luis Robert
The White Sox are finishing up a deal with Cuban top prospect Luis Robert worth more than $25 million, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and confirmed by several others.

White Sox Lose Game In 11th Inning On Albert Pujols Single
The White Sox almost won in extra innings last night against the Angels in Anaheim, but ultimately let the Angels win on a walk-off single....
White Sox Manager Lets Emotional Attachment To Mike Pelfrey Get Better Of Him
Chicago White Sox starter Mike Pelfrey has been generally ineffective this year, but he’s been at his worst when attempting to get through an opponent’s lineup for a third time. He’s pitched to 15 batters in this situation, allowing nine runs and a .750/.733/1.583 batting line....
Several Dogs Attend White Sox Game
Chicago’s South Side team hosted the Minnesota Twins tonight, as well as many baseball-loving dogs from the Chicago area. What better way to start a week of games against a division rival than Dog Day?...
White Sox Use Unconventional Means To Knock Orioles Starter Out Of Game
The first-place Chicago White Sox knocked Baltimore Orioles starter Wade Miley out of the game tonight, using the unusual method of repeatedly attacking him with sharply-hit balls.
