In the last week, the White Sox saw their playoffs finally evaporate. After a great start to September where it looked like they had a great chance to catch Cleveland, it all disappeared with their disastrous series against Cleveland, followed by Seattle, Toronto, and Tampa Bay clinching wild card spots in the last few days. It was the end to a difficult, roller coaster season … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Good Riddance to 2022
Last week, we led off the Scorecard with this line, “Three weeks to go in the regular season and this could be the White Sox’ make or break week.” Well, the Sox didn’t make it. It sure looks like they broke it. Later in last week’s column we said, “Losing the [Cleveland] series would push the White Sox to 5.5 games back, which would be … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Not a Fun Week at the Office
Three weeks to go in the regular season and this could be the White Sox’ make or break week.

Here is what the action looked like last week: For the … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Cleveland Rocks and That Sucks
Four weeks to go in the regular season and the White Sox couldn’t be playing much better. And their competitors are faltering. In the last week, September 5 to September 11 the White Sox remain hot.

Currently, … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Hey Cleveland, Objects in the Mirror are Closer Than They Appear
Five weeks to go and the White Sox are rolling. If they can continue this momentum, things start looking a whole lot brighter for the Southsiders. In the last week, August 29 to September 5, the White Sox stepped it up a notch or two to narrow the contest in the AL Central. The action during that time span looks like the following: The White … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Gaining Ground
In the last White Sox Scorecard, we talked about the White Sox’ road to the Playoffs. Given the close AL Central and AL Wild Card races, the White Sox have every chance to arrive at the playoffs if they can execute over the next six weeks. Let’s see how things are going so far. This Scorecard reviews the Sox play from August 19th to August … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Going in the Wrong Direction
The White Sox can’t be thrilled with the season, but the fact remains that with two weeks left in August and six weeks left in the season, the Sox are well within reach of a Wild Card or a Division championship. As it stands on August 18, the White Sox are two games behind Cleveland for the Divisional lead, one game behind Minnesota for second … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: Going for the Division Lead
Dylan Cease came over to the White Sox from the Cubs in exchange for Jose Quintana. The Cubs also gave the White Sox Eloy Jimenez. Since going to the Cubs, Quintana’s ERA has bounced between 3.50 and 6.75. Quintana is having his best year since then, in 2022, with an ERA of 3.37 and he is already on his 3rd team of the year (St. … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: I Heard This Cease Guy Ain’t Half Bad
We can all agree that the Chicago White Sox have underperformed during the first half of the season. So far, this just isn’t what anybody expected.

It is easy to continue to pile on the criticism aimed at the White Sox players, the Southside Front Office, Tony La Russa, or even the White Sox mascot, Southpaw. What isn’t easy to do, is find some of the positive in what is a frustrating season. The White Sox are far from the bottom of the MLB or even the AL Central. But hopes … Continue reading White Sox Scorecard: 5 Reasons To Look Forward to July
