Sox Populi Podcast 175 — Misery Commiserating

Malachi Hayes, Joe Resis, Dante Jones, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Hannah LaMotta and Brett Ballantini go live to address the record-breaking horribleness of the White Sox start

In a live YouTube/Twitter/Facebook event as the game got underway last night, a group of us (Dante Jones, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Joe Resis, Malachi Hayes, Hannah LaMotta, Brett Ballantini) went watched the start of the game to see whether the White Sox start would end up even worse than that of the worst-ever Cleveland Spiders.

Spoiler alert: It did.

• Watch as the game turns from a scoreless tie to an eventual loss immediately after we begin
• Impressions of the first month
• The inability to commit to a rebuild is not wearing well in the early going, with the major league club or the organization as a whole
• Pedro Grifol’s hand in all of the mess
• What are you looking forward to in the season’s final five months?
• Predictions you’re regretting (or, crowing over?)
