Garrett Crochet dominated in Toronto, snapping our Canadian losing streak. | Cole Burston/Getty Images Pale Hose dominate in a 5-0 game that sounds closer than it was During spring training, I predicted that Garrett Crochet would be one of our starters, and a couple of our readers laughed at me. What I didn’t predict, however, was that Crochet would start the first half of this season as one of Major League Baseball’s best starting pitchers. After tonight, Crochet is now second in baseball in strikeouts, and he’s now had 19 straight scoreless innings, stretched over three starts. In a historic ..read more

Killer Crochet to take the mound against a lefty-killer lineup of Jays | Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images Garrett Crochet attempts to resuscitate an ailing South Side team Happy Tuesday, White Sox friends, and happy Garrett Crochet day. The White Sox kick off game two of a three-game series in beautiful Toronto tonight, and it’s safe to say that the modicum of optimism Chicago fans felt last week has once again died down. The Blue Jays aren’t a bad team, although they’re underperforming so far this season. They sit at the bottom of a competitive AL East division, so neither tonight’s match nor the ..read more

Britt Burns was one of the lone bright spots for the 1980 White Sox. | Fleer For one more day, the 1980 White Sox were on top 1905 Frank Smith tossed a one-hitter, the first of his career and fifth in White Sox history. The proceedings didn’t begin as a Smith masterpiece, as the righty actually trailed in the game after walking Senators leadoff man Charlie Jones, Jones sacrificed to second by Hunter Hill, then driven home on a Jake Stahl (with throngs ... OK, 117 fans ... from his hometown of Champaign, Ill. present) single. But that was the first and only Washington hit for the game, and late ..read more

Victory on Victoria Day for the Blue Jays. | Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images Facing South Side pitching certainly cures many an offensive malady On a Victoria Day afternoon affair in Toronto, the Chicago White Sox managed to out-mid the Blue Jays on their way to their fourth straight loss and 34th of 2024. Erick Fedde struggled all afternoon, allowing five runs on seven hits in six innings of work, and the lowest-scoring team in baseball couldn’t keep pace with a Jays offense eager to feast on bad pitching. After both teams went in order in the first inning, the Pale Hose struck first in the top of ..read more

Talk about a turnaround; Carlton Fisk turned in an MVP-caliber performance from this day forward in 1983, and all it took was a switch in the batting order. | Owen C. Shaw/Getty Images Placing Pudge in the 2-spot pays immediate dividends 1920 At Griffith Stadium in Washington, the White Sox set the team record for the most runs ever scored in an extra inning. In the 16th inning, they were able to score eight times to beat the Senators, 13-5. The Senators made nine errors on the day, leading to nine unearned runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Red Faber worked all 16 innings, allowing 18 hits, three ear ..read more

A collision of underachieving and underperformance awaits... | Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Can the Pale Hose get out of their own way north of the border? After a scintillating steamrolling at the hands of the Bronx Bombers, the beleaguered South Side baseball club heads north of the border to take on the underachieving Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Blue Jays open play today sitting at 20-25, last in the AL East, with the third worst run differential in the American League. The Jays are a surprising 7-8 in their own division, but only 3-7 against the middling AL Central. Don ..read more
