Di Billick, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and Brett Ballantini preview Crosstown play and revisit the horribleness of the Chicago White Sox

Hey, it’s been more than a month since the mothership landed, but Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Di Billick and Brett Ballantini got on board in advance of Crosstown play to talk White Sox, and quite a bit of other stuff. Buckle in:

• With Di covering for South Side Sox on Tuesday and Melissa Wednesday, how are they both feeling as the White Sox head to Wrigley Field?
• Vibe check: How are we feeling now, compared to entering the season with some trepidation?
• Pedro Grifol review: the hiring, the player handling, the poor personality .. and the risk of keeping him around to usher in the youth movement later on this year
• Di expresses frustration with Facebook
• What are the desired outcomes of the season? We have hopes for the rookies on the way — and for a change in the manager’s seat
