Sox In The Basement

Stress makes you do dumb things. (Like accidentally posting an episode of South Side Pod - another show on our network - on the Sox In The Basement feed. Those who listened early on Friday got a very different show. Oops.) Anywho...The stress has gotten to one of the guys and his advice is to start drinking heavily. We hold a "Bad Take Tournament" to find the worst White Sox takes of the offseason. The lack of baseball has produced some awful opinions, so we'll add ours into the mix in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The White Sox have told their minor leaguers to take their booster shot or else. The owners and players have inched closer during negotiations, with a sneaky proposal just tossed out this weekend by MLB.

It leads to some interesting discussions, and some absurd takes on possible additions to your baseball viewing experience.
