In their first hour of a Friday night program, Gabe Ramirez and Anthony Herron turned their attention to the weekend's Crosstown Cup and the biggest stories surrounding the Cubs and Sox. Should the Sox DFA Dallas Keuchel and then blast him into the sun? Why are the Cubs so inconsistent? It was the perfect time to welcome Parkins & Spiegel Executive Producer Shane Riordan to the show to announce the launch of a new podcast with Gabe Ramirez called "The Southsiders", available twice a week through Audacy. Riordan gave his opinions on Keuchel's status and where Andrew Vaughn should be batting in the order. Finally to round out the hour, Ramirez and Herron welcomed veteran Chicago baseball writer Mark Gonzales to look at both teams ahead of the weekend.
