Sox In The Basement

April Showers Bring May White Sox Wins

The White Sox are trying to put April in their rear-view mirror, and Dylan Cease may be the rock to build upon. Jordan Lazowski of SoxOn35th.com joins us to explain how the mustached man turned a corner into becoming the possible Ace of the White Sox. We also look at the outfield defense and pre-pitch tendencies from A.J. Pollock. Very soon the White Sox have to clear roster space for Moncada, Kelly and Cueto. Will Dallas Keuchel survive?

John Cangelosi: White Sox Guy

In 1986 host Chris Lanuti first met John Cangelosi at the age of 9. Now he has the one-time White Sox rookie on his podcast to tell stories, talk about Tony La Russa, and hear about his partnership with Bo Jackson. We're also talking about the baseballs that Major League Baseball seemingly have ruined this season. When does this team start winning? It has to be soon, right?

For The White Sox, Does The Manager Matter?

The White Sox went 0-7 on their recent road trip, but how much of that really falls on manager Tony La Russa? We dig deep to find if managers in MLB actually matter over 162 games and learn something unique about La Russa compared to his historical peers. In between some listener "venting" calls we also look at some individual hitting tendencies thus far in the White Sox lineup. The solution to early offensive woes seems simple to us.

A Perplexing Start For The White Sox

We chat with Fox Sports MLB Analyst Ben Verlander about the potential of the 2022 White Sox, if his brother Justin really could have ended up on the south side & how any Power Rankings list could possibly forget the Sox. Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald discusses some troubling early issues for the team after a disasterous trip to Cleveland. Plus, we worry that Tony La Russa has vastly overvalued Leury Garcia.

For The Love Of The White Sox

Are the White Sox swinging at the first pitch too often, or are we looking for irrational reasons to be concerned? We should enjoy the wins and have some fun, right? We're visiting with Jim Pender, a fan with a picture of nearly every White Sox player to ever wear the uniform. Learn about his lifetime labor of love. Plus, we wonder if there can be too much technology added to the ballpark experience.

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.

White Sox Lineup In La Russa’s Hands

The start of the season has us feeling like the White Sox have baseball's most-feared lineup.

We're also talking about Harold Baines getting a new heart and kidney, as one of our hosts can relate. Find out why he says Baines stayed true to form throughout the process.

For Fans, By Fans & The $1000 White Sox Fan

As Spring Training comes to an end, we take the temperature of White Sox fans heading into the 2022 regular season. How impactful will AJ Pollock be as an addition to the outfield and batting order?

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.
