I mean, what do you want the current manager and a player to say about a fellow org member and current acting GM? That he sucks ass?

Hiding behind sunglasses.

I switched when Vinnie Duber left because he was the voice of reason on that podcast because he takes his reporter role seriously. They don't get the same level of guests on CHGO - but I can always listen to the NBCSN one when they have a guest. Otherwise, you have a clearly still bitter Ozzie, Chuck who has long since lost his shine, Guff who is OK, and Pods who is fun to listen to but is just a personality.

Also, building on this, Chuck emphatically declared that even he could build a major league roster — based on TWTW — because of his time spent in clubhouses as a reporter. Chuck is fun to listen to, but until this season he carried enough water to fill the Grand Canyon.

Hell, they were still having fun as a team in 2020 (Moncada aside).

Giants.

When Ozzie said he was GM, you could tell he was joking in a "just kidding...but Jerry if you wanna talk...??" manner

The CHGO and White Sox Talk podcasts had two real different tones on this. White Sox Talk basically made everything sound like it was doomed from the start and everything was fool's gold. CHGO took a stance that the team clearly had talent and could have done something if not for organizational dysfunction, but Jerry opened the floodgates with TLR. I'm kinda taking CHGO because other White Sox Talk has just been full of s%*# the past few years, unless I'm just imagining Chuck's "WE JUST GOT EDWIN FREAKING ENCARNACION!" podcast.

This one. Then see if he can convince Espada to come on as manager.

Turns out his bias all these years was that the org is terrible

So was Bob's source KW? I know there was speculation that that was the case. All aboard Mr. Bone's Wild Ride.

If you had to ask me the post pained fanbase, I'd really struggle. The White Sox seem to have the most dramatic and "what the absolute f***" situations happen to them. The Mets just keep lolmets-ing and are the ultimate little brothers. Not even Steve Cohen's infinite war chest could overcome that. The A's. Man, John Fisher just straight Major League'd them. The Angels. Two all-time GOATS. One who had a shot at being the GOAT and another re-writing history books every game. An owner willing to spend on other generational talents (Pujols) and stars (Rendon). Less healthy than the Thibs-era Bulls. The Pirates. Nutting is cheap as hell. Most noteworthy highlight of the past few years is Javy Baez clowning them.

And Trout back to the IL right after returning.

TLR convincing Jerry to sign Lunhow would possibly be the funniest outcome.

I mean, it was weird as s%*# that we know there has to be a Harper presentation at the UC and it just...ended? Like suddenly it was full court press for Machado despite Harper making more sense. Or am I misremembering?

Ohtani hired as player/GM And uh... That's it.

Chris Getz made the hard decision to not DFA Tim Anderson on day one.

Not quite a pasta party, maybe a pizza party???

RemVP died so Peralta could make a late push for ROY

Can someone explain to me why they tried to make Santos go two innings?

Fun thing about not having a GM is we don't know if it'll get him a contract or not

TT! For some reason Trayce Thompson is still like, 25-years-old in my head.

Kissing your sister is like hiring Dayton Moore. It shouldn't happen and why would you say these things, what is wrong with you?

This is why Garfein suggesting Dan Duquette because of his time with the Expos, Red Sox and Orioles baffles me.
