The Greatest Trade in Sox History & WSB Draft Time!
April 16, 2020 19:42 - 39 minutesJane the Virgin and James have a lot in common, including that fact that they're both still virgins...actually, we might need to fact check that one. I've not watched JTV. After Jimmy briefly synopsizes Jane the Virgin, the duo dive into the greatest trade in Chicago White Sox franchise history, Jon Garland for Matt Karchner (4:55). Why is this trade the greatest in the storied Sox history? Well, listen and find out. Oh, also, the guys deliver perspective on the increased value of prospects a...

April 09, 2020 12:00 - 43 minutesTom and I are accepting applications from agents to represent Tiago Fegan since James is too timid and incompetent to properly steer his son's career to fecundation.

The guys play a round of 10-Ty Questions and guess what; James is really good at it (19:30)! DID TIAGO ACCEPT A TRANSFER (26:30)? Tom's Two Cents: 'Dumb people asking and answering que...

The White Sox Are Popular! + Chicago Sports Poll Results
March 23, 2020 23:05 - 35 minutesThree days away from what would have been the start of the MLB season, the lack of baseball has caused Tom to lament meaningless spring games, while James spent the weekend eating Red Lobster for the first time.
