World Series Champion and former White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper joins the show for the first time. Hear Coop's take on the modern pitching game, why the White Sox may be teaching the cutter again, and when he felt like the 2005 White Sox could win it all. Plus, Coop talks about Bobby Jenks and the suprising 2005 performance (that didn't surprise him) from Jon Garland. The $1000 Guest Bounty gives you a chance to with $1000.

We circle back to a nugget from White Sox beat reporter Scott Merkin's recent appearance to form a picture of what is happening right now in the front office. Pen, paper and some new math has us looking at a payroll that needs a bump in 2026. Plus, Andrew Vaughn is just like that one ex that you need to move on from because it was never going to work. And we have our first entry for the $1000 Guest Bounty this off-season coming very soon. Who YOU got? Video Version on YouTube! Brought to you by ...

Veteran White Sox beat reporter Scott Merkin of MLB.com joins us again to talk about possible plans for this off-season. Will the White Sox be buyers, traders or both? Who was the most exciting rookie he observed this year? Who was his favorite manager to cover, and what is Will Venable like?

Brought to you...

The White Sox entered the off-season with an immediate release of several major league coaches, one AAA manager and one Grady Sizemore undetermined move. We're here to tell you what it says about organizational policy and the mentality for 2026. The White Sox front office is full speed ahead and looking for roster additions and more wins, as long as their owner gets on board. Video Version on YouTube!

Brooks Boyer, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer for the White Sox, recently gave public support for the much maligned John Schriffen. That's his job. We're here to tell you why he really did that. Schriffen isn't just the White Sox TV play-by-play guy. He's also seemingly part of a larger marketing plan you may have already figured out. Plus, the last week of MLB's regular season is about as exciting as it can be if your team isn't involved. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris La...

James Fox of FutureSox joins us to take a look at the 2025 season. Did the White Sox accomplish what you hoped for? Let's talk about the new core, the moves that will likely be made and what the team should (and can easily) do to make this team far more interesting in 2026. Is a Wild Card race really that far away? Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his basement bar on the South Side of Chicago to discuss their favorite team - The Chicago White Sox in ...

A week ago the White Sox losing 100 games seemed silly, but now they need to fix this slide before it becomes a reality. We take a look at starting pitching, asking if Martin Perez should return on his option and how many additional pitchers the team actually should sign this offseason. The money is there, even for an owner like this one. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his basement bar on the South Side of Chicago to discuss their favorite team - T...

AJ Hinch called The White Sox "a problem" as they spend the second half playing solid baseball and the end of the season on a heater. Will the problem be added to in a good way by Chris Getz, or "solved" by mismanaging the offseason? A 12-Year-Old prepares to cash a big Jerry Reinsdorf check when he turns 16, and we discuss what kind of problems come from that decision. Chris has good problems with his voice, the Sox Nerd solves your trivia problems and Ed had problems getting the show posted...

The White Sox are finishing 2025 very differently than 2024, and no matter the final record they look to have found enough to build a real baseball team for 2026. We're taking a look at what should (easily) be added and the team homerun race between Lenyn Sosa, Colson Montgomery and Andre Benintendi. Plus, the hard life that is being a consistant fantasy baseball champion. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert (used to) sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a ba...

What do you do when someone sees you wearing your favorite team's gear and just yells "WHITE SOX" in your face? We ask the serious questions while working out how this upstart team of September Sluggers can avoid 100 losses. The race to 63 wins is on, and Colson Montgomery is leading the way with bombs! Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert (used to) sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on the South Side of Chicago to discuss their favorite team - Th...

Mike Clevinger returns like a bad penny. Can we find a reason for it that makes sense? Did anyone win the Aaron Civale / Andrew Vaughn Trade? What you should be asking is if anyone lost! We gear up for a final month of White Sox baseball with goals and what to watch for on our field and across Major League Baseball in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

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...

As we close our original studio at the 9-foot homemade oak bar a stunning discovery is made while looking over our White Sox memorabilia. From the machine that is White Sox public relations spin to Colson Montgomery's special kind of streakiness, let's have some fun with our team in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Ed thinks Edgar Quero should be in the conversation for Rookie of the Year. Chris needs convincing. Your mind may be changed by the end as we compare him to some pre-vote voting results in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

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? He won't actually learn anything, but wow...this is quite a contrast in styles and success. Right? Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

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 Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on the South Side of Chicago to discu...

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. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on the South Side of Chicago to discuss their favori...

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. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on the South Side of Chicago to dis...

Elijah Evans of Just Baseball and Future Sox gives his take on who the White Sox should move and what they will get at the Trade Deadline. We also take a look at what names to watch from their new draft class, how their next class of top prospects is doing and who will stick as real ballplayers out of the youngsters already on the big league club.

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. We take a deep dive into Colson Montgomery's early plate results to find some exciting trends and The Sox Nerd does some "Dick Allen Time Travel" too! Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.
