Sox Populi Podcast 182 — Reviewing our 2024 predictions — 2024-12-05

We made our season predictions for the fourth consecutive year over at South Side Sox, and for the fourth consecutive year, a different writer took the crown. And this year, in fact, the crown is worn by two prognosticators — the veteran Year of the Hamster, and newcomer Enrique Silva. We have a comprehensive rundown of the twists and turns of our 2024 predictions over at SSS, but here are some highlights of the podcast that Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Joe Resis and I did addressing them (and, I suppose, the moribund White Sox postseason and future): If not for the Dodgers, a lot of us would have been in trouble This trio all did well all told, with Joe finishing fourth of 18, Brett fifth, Melissa seventh Each of us review our favorite and oddball picks A look back at how remarkably non-dour the majority of our writers were about the White Sox season, silly people Our second half addresses some of the offseason, including the new manager, dead market, and hopes (?) for the season To end on a good note, we look ahead to the 20th anniversary of 2005 and our favorite non-obvious moments of that year Have a look at the podcast at our the Sox Populi YouTube channel (and don’t be a flake — subscribe!) and/or listen on Megaphone below.
