White Sox Prepared For Injuries Better Than Crowds

With injuries seemingly happening daily, the White Sox are demonstrating their impressive lineup depth early this season. Adam Kaplan of SoxOn35th.com helps us examine why they are prepared for these early season hiccups. While it seems the team on the field has learned lessons from last year, the same ballpark problems exist when the crowds get large. Can the White Sox handle big home games? We're also at Cork & Kerry At The Park for the Home Opener and asking if Ethan Katz has properly adjusted Dallas Keuchel.

Rick Hahn Answers All Of Our Questions

Rick Hahn joins us to answer every question you could possibly have about the White Sox. (That was our April Fools joke.) But Hahn and manager Tony La Russa one-upped us! After a week of controversy surrounding La Russa's comments about fans and no need for a new right fielder, the White Sox traded Craig Kimbrel for AJ Pollock. That's a surprise we can all get behind! We also talk lineup construction with seven or eight clear everyday core starters. And it looks like we have a winner for the $1000 Guest Bounty just before the White Sox kick off their run at a World Series title.

White Sox Fan-Shaming Is Back!

The first shot at the White Sox fanbase this year was fired by manager Tony La Russa on Tuesday when he said fans looking for an addition in right field were "probably the fans who are not White Sox fans." We explore this ridiculous comment by the White Sox skipper before trying to solve the position with players within the organization. We also simplify the good and bad when it comes to Rick Hahn's current roster construction as the White Sox get ready for another 162 game run to the postseason.
