Sox Populi Podcast 177 — Nothing Positive

After another long podcast break, some of the Sox Populi crew (Brett Ballantini, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Joe Resis, Dante Jones) reboards the mothership and takes on some White Sox talk at as low a point for the franchise as any of us have ever witnessed:

  • The 21-game losing streak, and how (or whether) it wore us all down
  • Re-casting the White Sox as a “losing franchise,” something it hasn’t been “on paper” in the W-L column since 1956 — are we even able to be stigmatized by such a franchise fall, at this point?
  • Rooting to lose: Does hoping that the White Sox embarrass themselves make you a “bad fan?” And is there any downside, down the line, to supporting a team of infamy?
  • A breakdown of the Garrett Crochet situation, and who blew it — Crochet, his handlers, Chris Getz, or all or none of the above?
  • Quick predictions on the Crosstown series, and whether we’ll be talking again to commemorate an under-.500 franchise as soon as Saturday
