    Ep. 296 - Goodbye 2024

    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 staff. Hopefully he can bring some positive vibes into 2025. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 295 - But this time will be different, right?

    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 Hall of Fame. Also, Sox flesh out their coaching staff as they add an offensive coordinator position. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 294 - Meet and Greet

    Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Chicago White Sox officially announced the details to the watered down version of SoxFest 2025. The fan festival is back but is it better than ever? The Sox hired a new bench coach and are bringing back some familiar faces. Austin Slater has joined the White Sox and will he actually be wearing number 13? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 293 - How much to watch the White Sox?

    Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Chicago Sports Network has a new app and it's only $19.99 a month to watch the Sox lose 97 games in 2025. White Sox Charities has another garage sale in the works and to take a picture with Southpaw dressed as Santa will cost you far more than $19.99. The GM meetings wrapped up and the Winter Meetings are in a few weeks. All signs point to the new AL Comeback Player of the Year, Garrett Crochet, to be moved. What's the role of a director of hitting and will the Sox get some players that can actually hit? Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 292 - Willing and Venable

    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 where he ranks on the all time bust list will be debated for years. We also talk about the future of Andrew Vaughn as the Sox look to move forward. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 291 - Here We Go Again

    Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Jerry is at it again... teasing a sell of the team that might result in a potential move just to get public funds for a new stadium. Jerry does not have his friends in high places this time around so does he give up eventually and really sell? We celebrate the 19th anniversary of the 2005 World Series. Reminiscing about what actually happened instead of being angry about what never came to fruition. The latest list of Sox managers is uninspiring but it's the White Sox way. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 290 - Mr. Manager?

    Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. More names surface as potential White Sox managers. Who would want this job? The pay will be unattractive, the team has endless shortcomings, the front office is sparse and fan morale is low after a historically bad season. Have you been following former Sox players during the MLB postseason? Michael Kopech looks like a different human. New rendering surface of what the skyline would look like from behind homeplate at The 78 pipedream stadium. Build a team first. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 289 - It's over... now what?

    Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox finished the year with 121 losses and made history. They showed some fight down the stretch but thankfully the 2024 season is finally over. Jerry Reinsdorf made a statement. Chris Getz was transparent. Another article shining light on the organizational dysfunction. Can Grady Sizemore really be the next manager? Are there enough fans out there that really care? We thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 288 - Jerry's legacy

    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 stadium after the Sox had former players onboard for a river cruise? Enjoy the history and thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 287 - I Don't Like Our GM

    Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox are on the the brink of history... they are looking at a three game winning streak. That's right, the (35-115) White Sox are on a heater. 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? The Sox are five losses away from tying the record with 12 games left. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 286 - It's Just Baseball

    Hey Sox fans, welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. After a two week absence, we reflect on the embarrassing brand of baseball that's been played and the two whole wins that the Sox have achieved since we last recorded. Last in almost every offensive category, how are the Sox going to make improvements in the offseason? The latest on SoxFest and can the 20th anniversary of the 2005 team mask the stink of this 2024 season. We discuss Grady Sizemore's talking points and what Chris Getz's first priority should be at season end. What a team. What a time to be alive. Go Sox. #WhiteSox
