White Sox clinch wild-card, finish 84-78 after season finale

most wins by a team following at least three consecutive 100+ loss seasons: 2026 White Sox: 84 2014 Astros: 70 1965 Senators: 70 1925 Boston Braves: 70 They’re the first team to make the playoffs following even 2 straight 100-loss szns

AL seeds: 1. Rays 2. Guardians 3. Astros 4. Yankees 5. Red Sox 6. White Sox

The White Sox are going to get a fully rested Houston squad. We rested our team (17 different starters, 20 different relievers, 12 center fielders, 5 first basemen, 1 general manager). It’s over for you, pale hose.

The White Sox have made the playoffs 12 times in their history. They’ve only played one team multiple times. And it’s the Astros, THREE times.

White Sox beat the Rockies, 4-2 Randal Grichuk and Brenton Doyle both homered. Anthony Kay went five strong innings. Trevor Richards got 10 outs. Sox finish 84-78. It sure looks like they're headed to Houston.

Munetaka Murakami to Japanese media “I think everything is an experience. Going through this long stretch where I couldn’t hit, and then being able to hit like this, that’s an experience too. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but all I can do is keep going and keep building on it.” #WhiteSox

Clinched the AL West Division. Now, on to face the White Sox in the post-season. Let's ride. #Astros

Cubs and White Sox in the playoffs: Both Chicago teams will play wild-card series on the road starting Tuesday

Astros on Tuesday it is. Not great, but as @smlindbe.bsky.social reminded me, we've beat them before. ON TO THE POSTSEASON, BABY!!!!! LET'S GO #WHITESOX!!!!! ⚾🖤⚾🖤⚾

Media: Murakami, are you aware of the playoff history between the Astros and the White Sox? Murakami:

there's nothing WWE could ever book to stop me from watching AEW my favorite baseball team the #WhiteSox are playing for a chance at their division tonight, and I'll be locked in on #AEW All Out will have the score up on my phone though 👀

If they beat the White Sox I think it may be an actual point in favor of the sedevacantists

I really don't care if the #whitesox win or not today, they just need to get through this game and rest the bullpin. Shit, have the bat boys pitch for the team. The Sox need quality pitching to even compete in the post season.

To end the season only one game out of first (c'mon KC, you win now?) and in the playoffs is a huge success after the heartache of the past 4 years. Great job #WhiteSox.
