State Senator Bill Cunningham sits as the point person when it comes to stadium-related legislation and sits on the committee that approves appointments to the Illinois Sports Facility Authority which owns Rate Field. He gives us straight answers on the White Sox lease ending in 2029 and anything can be done to entice the team to stay in Bridgeport. Coming out of this conversation, though, it seems clear the White Sox are likely moving to the south loop, Amtrak is likely moving to Bridgeport and one is not dependent on the other.

The beauty of a White Sox podcast is that we get to talk about this team year round. So, let's start with the base of this offseason. Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami are two 3-true-outcome lefthanded bats. Can you have two of those in your lineup? Does Montgomery actually have 3 outcomes? Plus, we compare this roster with the Brewers, finding the only thing missing and your main target this offseason.

Chris Getz has identified outfield help and starting pitching as main tagerts this offseason, and to do that right will cost money. Will owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who expressed his love for fans following the series win over Houston, put his money where his mouth is and support the young GM after a successful season? While Reinsdorf has been cheap in past seasons, history also points to what opens the pocketbook. Those circumstances may be back (hopefully) on the South Side.

The White Sox lose two at home and a win-or-go-home Game 5 awaits on Saturday. After Cleveland adjusted to Will Venable's strategy, will he react to what got his team beat or stay the course? A young team that has accomplished more than expected may be running out of gas, or they could be ready to shock the baseball world again on the road.

The White Sox are going to the playoffs, and Sox fans from Chicago and around the world are celebrating. One of our hosts celebrated with fans at a bourbon-soaked festival in Louisville...and his voice tells that story very clearly. Can the White Sox rally from Thursday's party and take the Central? We think so!

Decisions at the front office and managerial level have yielded bad results. Luis Castillo to the pen after acquiring him through 2027. Drew Thorpe to the minors. Openers that shouldn't open a jar of peanut butter. In-game moves even the announcers question as they happen. Yet, you can still win this divison. All the decision-makers have to do is learn from their mistakes.

The season is on the line in Cleveland and this team is playing tight...at least they were when we recorded this right before the first game of the three-game set.

The emotional rollercoaster continues for White Sox fans in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

New artist renderings pushing the idea of a stadium move has us pulling up an old interview with State Senator Bill Cunningham. Hear why some things he told us two years ago puts Justin Ishbia's plans in a very different light. And we keep beating the drum for Drew Thorpe's return to the rotation as the White Sox try to hold off Cleveland in these final weeks.

Luis Castillo doesn't look good. Did the White Sox fail in their pre-trade evaluation or is this a case of a player not listening to adjustment coaching? (Not a crazy thought, as the press corps actually asked about this post-game on Thursday.) One thing not beings asked is "why not elevate Drew Thorpe" and that's odd. Only 22 games remain and the White Sox have some tough choices to make if they want to cross the finish line in first.

The White Sox are not firing on all cylinders, but they continue to do enough to hold onto their AL Central lead. It would help if they had another starting pitcher, but somehow Drew Thorpe isn't ready yet? Why isn't he ready? Why isn't anyone asking why he isn't ready? Here comes the last month of an unexpected season. Are you ready?

The race for the AL Central is on as Cleveland gets above .500 and starts to push the White Sox. We sit down for a little break from the stress with Father Tom Hurley of Most Holy Redeemer and Marist High School. We talk about his commercial with Ozzie Guillen, his offering of Peace at Pope Night and what pope-themed White Sox ideas didn't come to fruition. What did Pope Leo think of the papal mitre hat giveaway? An unexpected season in more ways than one continues from Cork And Kerry At The Park!
