With the series yet undecided, a season hangs in the balance. What adjustments can or should be made to the lineup? Who do you trust to push this offense? The emotional rollercoaster continues for White Sox fans in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

New artist renderings pushing the idea of a stadium move has us pulling up an old interview with State Senator Bill Cunningham.

Luis Castillo doesn't look good. Did the White Sox fail in their pre-trade evaluation or is this a case of a player not listening to adjustment coaching? (Not a crazy thought, as the press corps actually asked about this post-game on Thursday.) One thing not beings asked is "why not elevate Drew Thorpe" and that's odd. Only 22 games remain and the White Sox have some tough choices to make if they want to cross the finish line in first.

The White Sox are not firing on all cylinders, but they continue to do enough to hold onto their AL Central lead. It would help if they had another starting pitcher, but somehow Drew Thorpe isn't ready yet? Why isn't he ready? Why isn't anyone asking why he isn't ready? Here comes the last month of an unexpected season. Are you ready?

The race for the AL Central is on as Cleveland gets above .500 and starts to push the White Sox. We sit down for a little break from the stress with Father Tom Hurley of Most Holy Redeemer and Marist High School. We talk about his commercial with Ozzie Guillen, his offering of Peace at Pope Night and what pope-themed White Sox ideas didn't come to fruition. What did Pope Leo think of the papal mitre hat giveaway? An unexpected season in more ways than one continues from Cork And Kerry At The Park!

The White Sox will solve this starting pitching problem, right? If they don't, it could be big trouble. It won't be the kind of trouble that jumps multiple rows into an upper deck brawl, but it could be just as ugly! It isn't a real concern until the team chasing them in the standings gets to .500 baseball, right? Welp, don't look now....

The White Sox have a calculating, analytical manager who took a team projected to do nothing and turned them into something formitable. But...he has more to learn. We look at the good, bad and ugly from this week and ask if a young manager can evolve like a young player in "30 Minutes of Sox!"
