Sam Antonacci is asked what his reaction was to Munetaka Murakami’s go ahead 2 run home run. He confesses that he was hiding in the batting cage, eating an ice cream at the time. His teammate Miguel Vargas hears about this and called him a child that needs to be looked after. #WhiteSox

It really sucks his career had the rough age curve it did because he was so much more than “a guy” at his peak he was THE FREAK

You gotta market your biggest names for the playoffs. Ramirez...and ummm, Acuna. No not that Acuna, the other one.

Alds advertisment for the White Sox - Cleveland game 1. The picture includes just two players, Jose Ramirez of Cleveland, and Luisangel Acuna!

I’m seeing a lot of favorable Jerry content, and issuing a correction you do not, under any circumstances, need to hand it to Jerry Reinsdorf.

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans

Seems like a lot of folks are hearing the national anthem performed by mariachis for the first time! • It is Hispanic Heritage Month • Chicago has a very large Mexican population • Yes, it’s really cool • Where I’m from, large high schools often have a mariachi group as a subgroup to marching band

45 years ago today, Nolan Ryan pitched his fifth no-hitter. Over the years, Terry Puhl (Melville, Sask.) has been credited with saving this no-hitter with this running catch on a long fly ball from Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia in the seventh inning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXcB...

Hey @raygunsite.com, new Sox/Pope shirt idea just dropped. Also a tattoo idea for any Sox fans should the Sox somehow do something wild in the playoffs.

Pope Leo pictured with captions in response to a question whether he had anything to do with the White Sox turnaround this year. He said no comment, then “great things happen in Chicago.”
