Major League Baseball's State Run Media duped fans into thinking Opening Day could be saved, but they couldn't force a new CBA into existence. We take to task the lying and greed that has ripped away a glorious spring of baseball, and insulted intelligent fans everywhere. A White Sox season with World Series aspirations is now on indefinite hold, and you have the right to be angry.

Stress makes you do dumb things. (Like accidentally posting an episode of South Side Pod - another show on our network - on the Sox In The Basement feed. Those who listened early on Friday got a very different show. Oops.)

Anywho...The stress has gotten to one of the guys and his advice is to start drinking heavily.  We hold a "Bad Take Tournament" to find the worst White Sox takes of the offseason. The lack of baseball has produced some awful opinions, so we'll add ours into the mix in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Is Dallas Keuchel cooked? That's a question with two different answers in this episode as the guys debate what they expect to see from the White Sox pitcher in 2022. Meanwhile the latest in the CBA negotiations has us believing we are in the home stretch. That's good news because everyone has pretty much covered everything across the White Sox landscape at this point, and we need baseball back.

What if the postseason expanded to a "reported" 14 teams with franchises picking their first round opponents like they're playing fantasy sports? We take a look at the implications for the White Sox and baseball as a whole. We also talk about the forgotten group impacted the most by the MLB Lockout. Jordan Lazowski from Sox on 35th caused trouble with PECOTA projections this week. We have him explain the system and how it really views your favorite Sox players.

The White Sox have told their minor leaguers to take their booster shot or else. The owners and players have inched closer during negotiations, with a sneaky proposal just tossed out this weekend by MLB. But does any of that matter when we have White Sox fans drunk dialing the podcast? Hey, some of the points made in this episode may have some merit...some of them.

We call MLB on their absurd position this far into CBA negotiations. Justin Salgado breaks down the best White Sox futures bets to jump on right now. And if the universal DH is a real thing starting in 2022, it seems like Rick Hahn has more ammunition for pre-season trades.

We could talk about the latest kerfuffle around the CBA negotiations, but instead let's play our version of White Sox "Would You Rather". It leads to some interesting discussions, and some absurd takes on possible additions to your baseball viewing experience. Sure we would rather talk about a new free agent signing or big trade just before Spring Training, but sometimes the conversation is out of your control.

Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald should be packing for Spring Training. Instead, he is talking with us about the CBA, if Rick Hahn's plans for the White Sox have changed since November, and what needs to happen before baseball returns. Meanwhile the owners are asking for mediation, but that doesn't mean these sides are too terrible apart on the big issues. We try to close the gap and bring reason to a maddening lockout.

As a brutal MLB Lockout continues to drain baseball fans, we look at some common arguments between White Sox fans. Let's separate fantasy from reality. Then we look at long-term fantasy baseball projections to find Sox players expected to take big steps in 2022 and beyond. We also try to fill out a lineup card with current rostered players and find ourselves leaving a harsh reality behind just to fix unresolved issues created by the front office.
