"Sports is a business of failure. Only one team is going to win every year. But the fact that you finished second or third or fourth, it doesn't mean you had a bad year." -Jerry Reinsdorf

Luis Robert Jr. hits a home run upon his return, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs

+

Despite being less than fully fit, Luis Robert Jr. remains a formidable option for the Chicago White Sox. Making his comeback in the lineup, Robert smashed a crucial solo home run, propelling the White Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. The standout All-Star batter connected with a poorly placed slider from Julian Merryweather, sending it soaring to the left and breaking the tie with two outs in the seventh inning. This pivotal hit, Robert's 32nd home run of the season, positioned him at the top of the team's home run leaderboard. The electrifying moment took place in a bustling Wrigley Field.

Andrew Benintendi stands up for White Sox culture amidst Keynan Middleton's criticisms

+

The Yankees and White Sox have had an eventful week. Chicago secured a 2-1 series victory against New York earlier this week at Guaranteed Rate Field. Adding to the action, the White Sox claimed former promising pitching prospect Deivi Garcia off waivers from the Yankees on Thursday. However, let's not overlook the week's beginning, when Yankees relief pitcher Keynan Middleton stirred controversy on the South Side by criticizing the culture of his former team. And now, Andrew Benintendi has joined the conversation as well.

Keynan Middleton showcased an impeccable performance during his inaugural appearance with the Chicago White Sox

Despite the Chicago White Sox's loss against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night at Target Field, it would be unfair to disregard the exceptional performance by Keynan Middleton, the right-handed reliever of the White Sox, in his debut with the club. Although his appearance was brief, Middleton faced four batters and successfully retired all of them. He pitched 1.1 innings, striking out three batters (including striking out the side in his first three faced), and maintained a flawless ERA for the 2023 MLB season. Middleton's controlled, high-velocity fastball, coupled with his impressive off-speed arsenal, left a lasting impression on the White Sox community. He made the Twins' offense appear foolish with his dominating performance. Hopefully, this is just a glimpse of what the newest addition to the Chicago White Sox bullpen has to offer in the future.

The stunning details of museum heists that emerged late last week revealed the arrests of nine people and the ongoing hunt for a tenth man in connection with the loss of millions of dollars worth of items from the careers of several late, great athletes. Yogi Berra’s championship rings, Roger Maris’ MVP award and Hickok belt, a Christy Mathewson jersey and contracts and title belts from legendary boxers of long ago all mysteriously vanished after they were stolen. It turns out many of them were destroyed.
