    HOUSTON -- White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has a sharp sense of humor, and it was made a little bit sharper with the vast success of his team during this 2026 season. It was on full display Wednesday night following the South Siders’ 7-3 victory over the Astros at Daikin Park, locking down the American League Wild Card Series in Game 2. Before providing great commentary on what this current group has accomplished, Reinsdorf couldn’t help but take a few playful jabs at some of the articles tha
