Why am I an "even"? Fegan's got a strange cadence. I like not waiting for 10 seconds for somebody to find the perfect word. I'm listening to Todd Rundgren interviews right now. (Dude's really intriguing on many levels.) He'll stop for half minute, and I'll have to click back into that tab to see what's going on, and he's stuck on a word.

Sorry, I really didn’t mean it to sound negative. I meant because you obviously watch the pods with Fegan more often than me that you would have a more educated opinion on him. I just watched the most recent pod with James and Fegan and some other dude (can’t remember his name) that you shared, and Fegan struggled to get his point across and was involuntarily/sarcastically laughing at most of the questions. Both James’es know way more about baseball than Our Chuck, but Fegan would also be terrible in Our Chuck’s current role.

Strange cadence is spot on. I assume it is nervousness.

The Athletic makes the most sense.

This Sox team is pure traffic bait. They're a feel good story, plenty of big personalities, unexpected heroes, some grizzled vets, the Pope, the #1 pick, Vasil's shenanigans. The Sox articles they do write are probably doing numbers.

On the reddit thread referenced a podcast where he gave a long winding answer that left the other two hosts befuddled/annoyed, with nothing left to say about the topic.

I think it's more an erudite need to craft the perfect, sarcastic sentence. I find both Jim and James a bit forced, but they've provided the most thorough coverage of White Sox baseball, along-side James and Ian of FutureSox. There was a time 40 years ago I'd look up the Boston Globe online to read Peter Gammons' column for any mention of the White Sox. If James is going back to the Athletic, the more power to him, and us.

Ahhh, that’s right, it was Jim Margalus! Too many damn J’s.

Quite honestly, I thought J. Fox and J. Margulas were WAY better than J. Fegan in that pod. Just my opinion…

Thanks for sharing the pod. In any case, it’s still better White Sox talk than you can get anywhere else.
