Jonathon Cannon returns, Luis Robert, Jr. heads to the IL, an untouchable core is emerging and a few pieces appear to be deadline bait. The Sox honored one of their best with a bobblehead and an episode from the documentary on the 2005 team finally drops. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Sox fans! Welcome back. Our Chicago White Sox were swept by the Rangers after losing two of three in Houston. Winnable games but the fact remains that the Sox are far from competitive. Andrew Vaughn has been traded to Milwaukee and now Luis Robert Jr. is the last man standing from the 2021 AL Central Championship team. The Sox honored the Pope with a Mass, Grant Taylor has been brought up and Tim Elko has been sent back down. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Sox fans! Welcome back. There's light at the end of the tunnel Jerry will be turning over the keys to team Ishbia. It could be as early as 2029 but no longer than after the 2034 season. What kind of money does Ishbia plan to use? What will it be used for? Welcome to the South Side Kyle Teel. Cannon and Sosa head to the IL. Sox split with Detroit and took two of three from Kansas City. Ray Durham got his bobblehead and Nancy Faust was back at it. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSo...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox were embarrassed this past weekend by the Chicago Cubs. When will the pain stop? When will the Sox be competitive again? It's a sickening feeling to realize the good times might be very far away. We are hanging onto prospects, hope and the feeling that it can't be this way forever. There are silver linings... not many... but they are there. Jonathan Cannon has had a nice month of May and Miguel Vargas was tough to stop on the North Side. Little sizzle and no steak...

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. What a crazy week. We have a new Pope and he is not only from Chicago but he also a White Sox fan. Unbelievable. The Sox finally promote Tim Elko and he wastes very little time showing off his power. The legendary organist, Nany Faust, makes her return to Sox park and she will be entertaining fans for several Sundays this season. After 41 games, the Sox are (12-29) which is exactly where they were last season after 41 games. Do you feel different ab...

Someone we never heard of had some interesting things to say about Andrew Vaughn. Colson Montgomery tries to find himself in the desert. And, when did we lose our way going to the bathroom?

Hey Sox fans! We are back and thank you for joining us for some fan centric White Sox chatter. The Sox are struggling offensively and the numbers speak for themselves. We're more than ready to move away from Andrew Vaughn but is Tim Elko ready? When will he force the White Sox hand? Who was the last prospect that really forced his way onto the team? We also talk Chris Getz, upcoming promotions, and believability if you've covered the team on the North Side. Thank you for the continued support. G...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The end results have not necessarily reflected it however something feels different with this 2025 White Sox team.

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Sox had a rough week... they were swept in Detroit and lost two of three to the Minnesota Twins. Sox have lost five in a row. After nine games, they are one of the three worst teams in all of baseball. Offense continues to be well below average. Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Vaughn have gone missing. The Sox bullpen is a mess and promising prospect, Colson Montgomery, is off to a tough start. When will the White Sox be competitive again? When will they...

Hey Sox fans! The first series is in the books and the Chicago White Sox did not embarrass themselves... yet. Sox won big in the opener, then fell to the Angels in the next two games. Starting pitching has been a nice surprise but the offense will need to get creative. Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada returned home to a mixed reception. Why are there so many Cubs jerseys at a Sox game and when did we forget how to use the bathroom? Next up: Sox host the Minnesota Twins then head to Detroit. Thanks ...

Opening Day finds our White Sox welcoming the Los Angeles Angels and Sean Burke... yes, that Sean Burke... is your starter. Lots of question marks still with the lineup and Will Venable is waiting until the end of spring training before he makes any rash decisions. Injuries have piled up and TJ surgeries have been rampant as Drew Thorpe is the latest casualty. New food and drinks at the ballpark this year highligh...

Sox fans! Welcome back as we celebrate our 300th episode. This White Sox podcast started out during the winter meetings of 2018. As we enter our 7th season, what has changed and what stayed the same? Why continue to talk about something that generates so much anger and disappointment? Talking about the Sox has been extremely therapeutic and it's been amazing connecting with so many like minded fans. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox! #WhiteSox

Sox fans! We are back and so are the Chicago White Sox. Cactus League play is underway. Sox lost their first two games to the Cubs and Royals. However the biggest Sox storyline happened off the diamond concerning Justin Ishbia and his desire in grabbing controlling interest, which would put him as the top owner of the team over Jerry Reinsdorf. A White Sox world without Reinsdorf is a dream that could become reality in the near future. We also talk position player battles, our invest in the team...

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Less than two months until Opening Day and pitchers/catchers will be reporting to camp in about two weeks. Are you excited for White Sox baseball? Have you been missing it? The product on the field will be very rough this year but the promotional giveaways should bring a fair amount of fans back to the ballpark.

Will Mark Buehrle ever get into the Hall of Fame? Are you excited for Sox Fest? The White Sox have done nothing remarkable during this winter but Chris Getz is sounding human. So there's that.

Sox fans! Welcome back to a very fan centric conversation. Who is responsible for a busted player? Does the main blame fall on the organizational brass or is it all the player's fault? It's probably a little bit of both but why does it seem like players flourish when they leave the Sox and fail when they enter the organization? Sell the team chants rang out at the last home Bears game of 2024. Sox fans know what that is like. Former Angels manager, Phil Nevin, joins the Will Venable coaching sta...

Hey Sox fans... Welcome to Season 7 of the podcast. Here we go again... the White Sox saw an opportunity to advance the most latest rebuild and traded Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox for a bag of prospects. Sound familiar? It was almost eight years ago to the date that the White Sox pulled the same stunt with Chris Sale. Being a Sox fan is like being on a haunted carousel from hell. Since the last time we talked, Sox great Bill Melton passed away and legend Dick Allen was elected into the ...

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The search is over. The Chicago White Sox named their 44th manager in franchise history recently. Will Venable is the man in charge and he has his hands full. Venable has been around the game for quite some time, most recently as the bench coach for the Texas Rangers. This is Venable's first managerial gig. There will be some familiar faces back in 2025 but Yoan Moncada will not be one of them. Moncada's time with the Sox has come to an end and wher...

Hey Sox fans! Our beloved Chicago White Sox are set to make history this week. They hit the 120 loss mark and with six games left... well, it's just a matter of time until they enter the record books. The Athletic came out with a scathing article that helped shed light on how the Sox have managed to become such a laughingstock. Former Sox pitcher, Jake Peavy, weighed in on his time with the club and how he saw things unravel. Were state legislators convinced to spend public money for a new stadi...

If you are embarrassed about being a Sox fan and feel things have hit rock bottom... next year should provide zero rescue. Jerry Reinsdorf spoke with little clarity. Chris Getz spoke in circles and the rumor around the league is that the Sox will cut payroll in 2025. Yoan Moncada has rejoined the club. Do you care... at all?...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox did it. They lost their 100th game of the season on Sunday August 25th. The Sox now have back-to-back 100 loss seasons for the first time in franchise history. It's the quickest any MLB team has made it to 100 losses in 108 years. Is Chris Getz capable of being the GM to identify the problem areas, hire the right people and orchestrate the necessary trades to get this team on the correct path? Is Grady Sizemore's relationship with players an important factor in ha...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox (30-95) lost a series to the New York Yankees and also the Houston Astros. Aside from an odd blow out win against New York, offense was tough to come by this past week. With 37 games left, the Sox need to go (13-24) to avoid losing 120 games. Will interim manager Grady Sizemore be a serious candidate to be the skipper in 2025? Former fan favorite, Jake Burger, has been on a tear in Miami while Yoan Moncada has been nowhere to be seen and his time with Sox will mos...
