Just like we wrote it up, the White Sox romped over the Angels on Opening Day, 8-1, so naturally Brett Ballantini gathered some of his closest pals (Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Brian O’Neill and Joe Resis) to comb back over every luscious detail of a shocking start to the 2025 season:

• Sean Burke, facing adversity in the first and hard contact in the second, bristled up to deliver this Opening Day win with six shutout innings
• Where has this offense been all our lives?
• Favorite moments/standouts of Opening Day
• Playoff-bound?
• Can the White Sox now sweep this opening series?
• Essay #1: Do you give Burke the ball to start the seventh inning?
• Essay #2 Do you boo Yoán Moncada, one of the Top 50 hitters in White Sox history, on his return to the only ballpark he’s ever known?
