The interview with Dr. Nye was excellent. Also, my family definitely took our ailing guinea pig, George, to his vet practice when I was little; my jaw about hit the floor when I heard the location and practice!

It's always fun to unearth a gem like this when the Sox are as bad as they are. Some fun names on the list; give it a whirl!

The ol' double-friend alert of Craig Kimbrel vs. Reese McGuire.

I often wait until Friday to determine an in-season Sporcle Saturday, in case a Thursday game introduces an interesting theme. I think those opportunities may be seldom this season.

And I only remember him because he has been burned into my memory when I update this particular quiz annually.

Opening Day starters on Sporcle Saturday continues Jim Margalus, this time first and third basemen back to 1940, including a familiar name manning an unexpected position. soxmachine.com/2024/02/sporcl…

The photo of Jameson Taillon on Baseball Reference in his Pirates uni looks like he's posing for senior high school pictures.

Getting to use a guy from Ball Four (in this case Fred Talbot) for Immaculate Grid just about made my day.

It's Sporcle Saturday Jim Margalus: this week begins the annual countdown to Opening Day with every starting pitcher and catcher as the Opening Day starter since 1940 soxmachine.com/2024/02/sporcl…

For Jim Margalus, it's been an annual tradition for Jim to write about Spring Training NRIs and for me to quiz you on them. Additional research now tests your knowledge back to 2001. soxmachine.com/2024/02/sporcl…

Waiting for the White Sox to send out their announcement about Spring Training NRIs. Jim writes about them annually Jim Margalus (::channels Jim Nantz voice:: a tradition unlike any other); this year I was able to add in 5 more years to the corresponding Saturday Sporcle!

Any day in which I can fit both Miguel Olivo and Ben Davis in Immaculate Grid is a good day.

There are some doozies on there. But once you see them, they are remembered surprisingly quickly!

Welp, Ted Mulvey has updated the list of biggest free-agent outlays in White Sox history, and it's as depressingly small-time as ever. soxmachine.com/2023/12/sporcl…

Finally getting my Billy Pierce White Sox Guy selection in for Immaculate Grid (archive #59) with Detroit and San Francisco as the crosses.

Yesterday's all-White Sox Immaculate Grid.

Get Bob Costas off these broadcasts. How the mighty have fallen.
