The Catbird Speaks

Cat Garcia of BP Wrigleyville joins James, Nick, and Matt to discuss Chicago baseball as the White Sox prepare to face off against the crosstown Cubs for a weekend series.

James, Collin, and Matt accept the mortality of the 2015 White Sox following a brief flirtation with hope. Some streaking players, some plummeting players, some players that may still be candidates for the waiver trade deadline are discussed along with what we’d like to see for the rest of the season in the interests of setting up for 2016.

The Sox killed off the last traces of their optimism with a bad series against Kansas City, where their putrid offense, awful baserunning and shaky managing were all on full display.

Ethan, Nick and James got together to review the trouble on display this past weekend, and look at what lies ahead now that everyone understands the Sox playoff dreams are dashed.–Full playing time for Tyler Saladino? Keeping watching Avisail Garcia spiral down? When do we see Erik Johnson already?–Is trading Samardzija the only move the Sox have at the deadline? Would trading Jose Quintana be more likely to bring back a real bat?–What is the future for the so-called “three-year window?”

Mark Primiano joins James and Matt to talk about the White Sox hot stretch and what to expect moving forward. Also: Horse talk!

James and Matt get together to discuss whether or not the White Sox can even expect much in return for any of their players in a trade. Also covered: Carson Fullmer signing, international signings, Chris Sale excellence, and Matt accuses James of saying things he never said and points to audio evidence that doesn’t actually exist.

Nick and Matt get together following another deflating White Sox loss to talk about trade potential, the problem with White Sox position players, and do some old fashion complaining about the Manager.
