Chris Getz spoke. He probably shouldn't do that. We ask how one of the dealers could be confused by the cards he was dealt this season. Our suggestion is the next time he speaks, it should be with honesty. As the White Sox march to historic losing records, where is the professional pride? Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park!

The 2024 White Sox are the worst baseball team you have ever seen. We would rather talk about the 2025 White Sox, who better not be this bad. They don't have to be. It all depends on the front office being smarter this off-season...and ruthless. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

The White Sox can finish the 2024 MLB season with the worst winning percentage in the modern baseball era. Can this team of ragtag misfits put Jerry Reinsdorf's failure into the history books?

Before the availability of advanced statistics, would people be as critical of the White Sox? We use a time machine back to 1986 to ask if fans recognized bad the same way as they do in the modern era, and look for any rays of hope on the 2024 White Sox. One thing is for certain. They don't make ballplayers like the used to. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share. Call 708-459-8406 and leave your comments and questions for the next episode!

The Grady Sizemore (temporary) era may have just begun, but you can see some legit changes in how players are viewed by the organization. More consistant lineups have produced greater offensive results and roles seem defined. As Chris Gets gets ready to speed date every managerial candidate he can prior to the 2025 season, we can already see the type of skipper that would work best for the White Sox.

The White Sox snapped a 21-game losing streak on Tuesday night. Does it matter? After this season, no amount of support from lame-duck manager Pedro Grifol can reverse the failure of White Sox majority owner Jerry Reinsdorf. His lack of action lately, for whatever the reason, is already harming future seasons as a fanbase waits for the end of his reign. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe.

As alluded to on our last episode, the White Sox promoted straight from AA and started Drew Thorpe on Tuesday night. Corey Julks continues to lead off with Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham nearing a return. What will the White Sox do with their outfield? The real question, though, is if any of these young guys matter while Pedro Grifol remains manager of the team.

It is one thing to sell off players. The smart teams are shopping while selling. Dual injuries to Baltimore Orioles starters got us thinking about a trade, and what would be acceptable if a quality pitcher was shipped off to the East Coast.
