As we move into the dog days of the season, you’re going to see some changes from some of your favorite writers.
Beginning today, the entire South Side Sox writing team will begin publishing at South Side Hit Pen (@SouthSideHitPen on Twitter), which is separate from SB Nation. South Side Hit Pen will share an identical vision as South Side Sox ... because it’s being produced by the same creative team!
Gamethread/recap coverage will continue at South Side Sox, as will other features, including White Sox news breaks. The writing staff will consist of managing editor Brett Ballantini and former deputy editor Year of the Hamster, with occasional guest posts, perhaps even from some former SSS writers. As always, when news breaks in or out of season, it will be covered on South Side Sox. And overall, what doesn’t change here is that there will always be something new to read on South Side Sox.
We are proud of our status as the strongest and best Chicago White Sox site on the web, and we value the backbone of South Side Sox, our community. We welcome you to enjoy our additional coverage at South Side Hit Pen.
One of the conveniences of South Side Sox — beyond the brilliant content that just comes in waves, naturally — is ease of access/community, and that’s not something we take lightly.
Over at South Side Hit Pen, commenting is as easy to accomplish as here on South Side Sox.
You have several login options: WordPress, Google, Twitter and Facebook. And if you’re not into any of that, you can just provide an email and screen name, one time, tick the “Save my name” box, and you’re good. It appears that South Side Hit Pen actually allows for a greater variety of permanent login options than SBN/SSS.
