We're here every week to talk White Sox Baseball. Four White Sox fans from the Northwest side of Chicago that grew up going to Sox games. From the Big Hurt to Paulie K to TA, we are on our 4th generation of White Sox teams and we love the pain of losing as much as we love the joy of winning.
Our show covers an array of topics. We are always looking to keep things in perspective with a positive outlook but always looking for ways to constructively criticize our beloved. We also like to spend time covering future White Sox prospects and trending White Sox topics.
Segments you can expect to hear each week include:
Weekly Recap and preview
Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) thoughts

August 13 - Hold On With Everything You Got White Sox
Suds, Schwab, JT, and Nick Sr. jump into the studio for another White Sox Therapy session after a frustrating series loss to Cincinnati — but with the Sox still sitting 2.5 games up in the AL Central as the dog days of August arrive.
The guys break down a rough stretch that included the bullpen collapse against the Reds, Davis Martin’s continued first-inning struggles, and a 7–9 record over the previous two weeks. Despite the recent skid, the Sox remain in first place heading into a massive weekend series in Detroit.
Then it’s time to revisit the trade deadline and hand out grades for Chris Getz’s moves.
Topics include:
The painful series loss to Cincinnati
Whether Will Venable mismanaged the bullpen
Davis Martin’s first-inning struggles and whether the Sox should use an opener
Luis Castillo’s impressive early showing and increased changeup usage
Trading Boston Smith and whether the Sox gave up a future impact bat
Brenton Doyle’s defense, speed, and long-term fit in center field
The addition of Huascar Brazoban to the bullpen
Overall grades for the White Sox trade deadline
Whether the Sox should have been more aggressive with rental pitching
The heated debate over Colson Montgomery’s future
Whether Montgomery should have been traded for controllable starting pitching
His power, strikeout issues, and struggles with runners in scoring position
The Sox’s young infield depth with prospects waiting in the wings
Anthony Kay’s strong stretch, Chase Meidroth’s hot bat, and Edgar Quero’s improvement
Drew Thorpe and other pitching reinforcements potentially on the way
The episode closes with some much-needed PMA. Despite heartbreaking losses, slumps, and plenty of reasons for White Sox fans to panic, this young team continues to bounce back — and they still control the AL Central heading into one of the biggest series of the season.
Is this team ready to hold onto first place and make a real run at October, or will the lack of a bigger deadline splash come back to haunt them?
The sky isn’t falling yet.
Sit back, relax, hold on for one more day… and strap it down, White Sox Therapy.
