Sox In The Basement

White Sox Thoughts In The Shower

We call MLB on their absurd position this far into CBA negotiations. Justin Salgado breaks down the best White Sox futures bets to jump on right now. And if the universal DH is a real thing starting in 2022, it seems like Rick Hahn has more ammunition for pre-season trades.

Playing A Little White Sox ”Would You Rather”

We could talk about the latest kerfuffle around the CBA negotiations, but instead let's play our version of White Sox "Would You Rather". It leads to some interesting discussions, and some absurd takes on possible additions to your baseball viewing experience. Sure we would rather talk about a new free agent signing or big trade just before Spring Training, but sometimes the conversation is out of your control.

Scot Gregor Wants The White Sox Back

Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald should be packing for Spring Training. Instead, he is talking with us about the CBA, if Rick Hahn's plans for the White Sox have changed since November, and what needs to happen before baseball returns. Meanwhile the owners are asking for mediation, but that doesn't mean these sides are too terrible apart on the big issues. We try to close the gap and bring reason to a maddening lockout.

White Sox Fantasy Vs Reality

As a brutal MLB Lockout continues to drain baseball fans, we look at some common arguments between White Sox fans. Let's separate fantasy from reality. Then we look at long-term fantasy baseball projections to find Sox players expected to take big steps in 2022 and beyond. We also try to fill out a lineup card with current rostered players and find ourselves leaving a harsh reality behind just to fix unresolved issues created by the front office.

Jake Burger Enjoys A Good Troll

Last week White Sox infielder Jake Burger put out video of his workouts at second base. This week he joins us to explain that while a positional shift is possible, he also likes to stir the pot. We talk with the troll-loving former first round draft pick about his new attitude towards social media, why Gavin Sheets is his best friend on the team and how even a pro athlete can drop a couple pop-ups in the same game. One thing is certain by the end of this interview: Jake Burger loves a good laugh!
