Hey, did you know Sox Populi has become a daily podcast?

Me, neither. In fact, it’s not.

However, with the surprising news that Pedro Grifol had been fired by the White Sox (about a year too late, conservatively speaking), the mothership had to lift off again to discuss the timing, ramifications, and managerial job search. This time, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and Chrystal O’Keefe joined Brett Ballantini to cover it all, with some input from Willow O’Keefe as well:

• The move was due for, roughly a year, and Pedro shouldn’t have been hired in the first place; reactions to Grifol’s dismissal
• Despite how long we’ve been waiting for this day, was firing Pedro, right now, a good or bad move?
• Insight into how the managerial search will transpire this time around (aka How Big a Joke Will it End Up Being?)
• Quick predictions on the Crosstown series/will we be talking again to commemorate an under-.500 franchise as soon as Saturday?
