The Perfect Start To A White Sox Second Half

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?

Welcome To White Sox Land

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.

Keys to the White Sox Next Door

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.

A couple of players who had big months in May have slid in June. Should we be worried? And we find the catch in an upcoming Championship Season event that asks "would you still go?"

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?

The White Sox have made a great deal of moves over the past week as the team has gone into a pre-trade dealine mode. Propsects and possible trade pieces look to dominate playing time and the roster.

Load This White Sox Lineup Up With Catchers

The White Sox have some real ballplayers and the youth movement is suddenly on after this past weekend. We have a perplexing question about Joshua Palacios, though. It goes something like "why is Joshua Palacios stealing at bats from Edgar Quero?" Another question has to do with next season. Are the White Sox closer to getting out of the basement in the AL Central than previously thought? Enjoy "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

White Sox Lose To A Soccer Team

Jerry Reinsdorf had another bad day this week as the Chicago Fire swooped in with a privately owned stadium for The 78. Turns out threats to move your baseball team and demands for public funding are so 1980's. Meanwhile Luis Robert Jr looks cooked and the only question remaining is what kind of team would give anything up for him. We tackle these topics and more in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

What the White Sox are Chasing

The Miguel Vargas turnaround continues to astound, but is he the prototype for the ideal White Sox hitter? The return for the Matt Thaiss trade matches other acquisitions, and the internal hitters that are performing have some traits that are starting to define the Sox offensive type. But this new White Sox way may have a flaw. The Sox Nerd talks catchers, homers and the Pope while Chris trolls Twins fans and sets his expectations for the rest of this season in 30 minutes of White Sox. Brought...

Now Will Venable gets to set a lineup that looks a lot like what we were suggesting months ago. We look at the positives and the players starting to show they may be part of the team's future plans as some of these guys look like actual ballplayers for the White Sox.

White Sox Prospects Need Support

There is a reason the White Sox had to sign a 5th starter rather than promote from within. The arms down on the farm aren't quite ready. Some of the bats are, though, but supporting teammates for the next wave of talent is needed sooner rather than later. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

White Sox Skipper Will Venable Is Down With OBP

Will Venable has been trying something new with his lineups. It isn't old school. It isn't new school. The White Sox manager is stacking OBP because he has an incomplete lineup. In Cincinnati it actually worked very well. We also update the White Sox Gatekeeping Affair from last Saturday night as it becomes more apparent that there may be a security issue at the ballpark. (Yes, other than that time someone reportedly got shot last year.) Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti a...
