  • The Best Sox Coverage Out There

    Josh Jim and James do the impossible - they make me want to hear about the White Sox. They even manage to keep relatively sanguine about this horror show in the process. James’ deep analysis delivered with tongue in cheek black humor has been a fortuitous addition. Lots of content and plenty of rueful humor.

  • These guys are boring

    I gave these guys another chance cuz I wanted more Sox news and they are dedicated…but they aren’t funny and they think they’re funny. Zero charisma. I’ll follow Fegan on the socials cuz he is a dedicated Sox beat reporter and a good writer.

  • Jim & like

    Great content, and allowing that I don’t know how difficult it is to speak for an hour straight, Jim, please stop using like as a filler word. It’s very distracting, and takes away from the point you are making. Like, ya know, like, ya know, like, like, ya know, like, like, ya know.
