Sox In The Basement

Moving day away from the studio at the 9-foot home made oak bar leads to a look towards the future as 2025 starts the final stretch. An anonymous MLB player labeled the White Sox a "dumpster fire through and through", but somehow that's only an indictment of the past and not necessarily a sign of a bad future. A stretch, sure, but then the Sox Nerd stretches some facts about Miguel Vargas hitting a grand slam and catchers' batting positions. So get on back there? It will...with "30 Minutes of Sox!"

There was a loud voice telling you Lenyn Sosa was a good hitter. Ok, maybe two of them. We're taking a victory lap as the slugger without a position approaches 20 homeruns. Take a look at how the young guys are doing something very different in August as hope keeps springing up around a young team. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

The Savannah Bananas are showing Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox how to pack a stadium right after the team celebrated Bill Veeck. What can the old miser learn from the last few days?

The season will end with a lot more wins, but this is not a product close to contending. The changes needed, though, can be made quickly. Let;s talk about the good hitters and guys getting on base, but understand they are the anomaly. This offseason should be cutthroat and see additions to a very low payroll about to shed some dead weight. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Chris is so positive about Lenyn Sosa's hitting that he is relying on him during a fantasy baseball postseason run. Is that crazy? Take a look at the White Sox bats that are doing great things as we explain why this team will not lose 100 games this year. No...really! Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Colson Montgomery is red hot and it may be all in his head. No, we're not saying his play is a figment of his imagination. It could be the torpedo bat. It could also be the psychology behind using one. Plus, a listener message sparks more thoughts about what is wrong with the TV broadcast...or more like who is wrong with it.

Curtis Mead and two AAA pitchers came over from the Rays for Adrian Houser at the trade deadline and it looks like a great deal. Luis Robert Jr didn't get dealt away and we think the reason is because the general manager understands the miserly ways of his owner. Get the breakdowns and what the last few days mean for the White Sox long-term. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

The White Sox playing the Cubs has lost some luster, but Will Venable wants to keep his young team playing like they did in Florida last series.

Is it the opponents? Is it the venues? Is it the rest for young guys or a push by vets to get traded to a contender? The White Sox got off to a hot start to start the second half, and we're diving into what that means now and for the future. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

After a documentary about Wrexham AFC got Chris all choked up, we're asking what the second half would look like if MLB had relegation. It would certainly prevent owners like Jerry Reinsdorf from operating like he does. We're also talking about those most likely to be traded before the deadline, what the White Sox are looking for in return and which players are worth the most on the trade market.

The White Sox drafting well is important, but what they do after the draft will say more about the future. Does Chris Getz' track record suggest anything about how this plays out? Or will Sox fans just have to wait and hope things...and players...develop for the best. The Sox Nerd pay homage to Bobby Jenks and recaps some notable beef from the Sox' past all in 30 minutes oh White Sox talk. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

July will bring the All Star Game and a weekend celebration around the 2005 World Championship team, but there are more important things to look for this month when watching the current White Sox roster.

The next few weeks have a lot of different offerrings for the fanbase at the ballpark. So, what gets you out to a White Sox game? We're also asking if this team has a late-season burst of wins in it, if anyone wants Luis Robert Jr for the second half and what Jerry Reinsdorf's lair looks like in "30 Minutes of Sox!"
