Hey yo, welcome in to the CHGO White Sox Podcast. Coming to you live from Studio West of our West Loop offices here in the downtown of Chicago. I'm your host, Sean Anderson. A log side of me, Herb Lawrence.

Herb Lawrence (0:15)

Hello.

Sean Anderson (0:16)

You can follow him at Actual 23 I'm your host, Sean Anderson. I already said that. We're being produced today by Joey Christopoulos.

SPEAKER_3 (0:22)

I'm Sean Anderson?

Sean Anderson (0:23)

I am Sean Anderson.

SPEAKER_3 (0:24)

You're Sean Anderson.

Sean Anderson (0:25)

I'm pretty sure I'm Sean Anderson. Or the guy from Washington, DC is Sean Anderson. Hit that thumbs up button if you haven't already. Make sure you're subscribing to the CHGO Sports YouTube channel. We got you covered on all the Chicago sports, whether it's the Blackhawks losing four to nothing and then taking an entire week off. I think that was pretty interesting. They just got that beat by the stars that they said, we're good.

The Bears feel so good after their Sunday when they're like, we got to get back at this as soon as possible. Do you see the guy on Twitter saying that, can't wait for the Patriots to take belt to butt against the Bears? Hilarious. Because they have most of the starters from when they sacked Caleb nine times?

Herb Lawrence (1:01)

Congratulations. That was a long time ago and a whole different regime too. So I hope you enjoy that memory you had of the Bears losing to the Patriots. Have you seen Drake Maple? I know as of late, all right.

But that man in the playoffs, booty booty, booty booty, and other teams.

Sean Anderson (1:22)

We just did a Cubs show. I produced that. We'll be producing a Bulls show at 4 p.m. We got White Sox. We got Stars. We got Fire. We got Sky. Everybody. Everybody. All right. That's going to at least set the table for us. We obviously got Bears too. I don't think as I mentioned. You did. You said Drake May sucks. All right. There you go. All right.

We got a ton of things that we could talk about.

Herb Lawrence (1:43)

Yeah.

Sean Anderson (1:43)

We're going to first just bring up the Raising Guardian series.

I don't think I'm going to say a word when Cleveland loses a series. I will be having an extravagant fireworks show at my home, though, when they do lose. I'm not going to say anything, but everyone's invited BYOB.

Herb Lawrence (2:00)

I will be loud because before this whole year started and people have followed me on Twitter, they know I don't too much dislike both Cleveland or the Tigers franchise. Minnesota and Kansas City are much higher when the season started.

That playoff series, man, didn't like the beat writer that you brought up that were going to, that was saying some things that sounded a little too much pom-pomish, and then the whole way they acted after they won, they should. Admin was acting out of line. Yes, please Tampa, find a way to win one of these two games at home and close these people out and shut them out because I will be loud and boisterous. There is no way I want to see them in the World Series because then I would have to root for the Milwaukee Brewers, which is not my favorite thing because as a old White Sox fan, Milwaukee Brewers were my old rival. So please get the job done Tampa, win the World Series for the first time in your history.

Sean Anderson (3:00)

And I'll give the Guardians a little bit of credit, even though it pains me, like I watch them right now against the Rays and I don't think they're completely dead. They're going back to Tampa and need to win two straight games. It's going to be a tough thing, but if the White Sox were in this position, would I be like completely out on the team? Like, obviously, pitching is different and all that stuff. They're made up differently. But, you know, I just I just keep going back to I'm not over that the Sox just aren't here. I am not.

I know I said that the Guardians sucked, et cetera, et cetera. It was really on a high horse after they won those first two games. I still think the White Sox are better than Cleveland. And I understand that Cleveland beat them for the division title. And I understand that they beat them in the playoff series. I still just can't get over the feeling.

Herb Lawrence (3:44)

Same here. I I think that most people before this season started and before this playoff started would have said that Dodgers are clear favorites, even though the Brewers had the better record.
