    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

    Ep. 285 - One Hun-D'oh

    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 having the interim label removed? Has it really been one year since Hahn and Williams were fired? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 284 - Garbage at a Discount

    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 most likely end with a depressing whimper. What a time to be alive. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 283 - Dark, dark tunnel with SizeMORE or LESS

    Sox fans! Welcome back... our Chicago White Sox (28-91) finally fired their inept manager, Pedro Grifol, along with a bunch of other coaches. Grady Sizemore has been given the interim managerial title but the losing has continued... for now. Chris Getz is saying all the right things when it comes to a serious managerial search but will the Sox really follow through? If nothing will ever change while Jerry owns the team then does the manager matter much? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

    Ep. 282 - Losing Streak at 20

    Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox have lost twenty games in a row and are sixty games under .500. Sixty. Games. The Sox were swept this past weekend by the Twins in Minnesota. Pedro Grifol is somehow still the manager however a meeting was held recently to discuss his future. Were you happy with what the Sox got back at the trade deadline? Are you glad Crochet remained on the team? The Sox now head to Oakland before coming home to face the Chicago Cubs. Thank you for the continued support, Go Sox. #WhiteSox
