No, it’s not Groundhog Day. The White Sox are shipping off to Boston to face the Red Sox. Unless Lucas Giolito is pitching for the Red Sox this coming Patriots’ Day, the White Sox hopefully won’t suffer the same fate they did in 2021.

In a sillier episode that is a bit different from the usual series previews, I talked to a sleep-deprived Ed Hand about what happened last week in Chicago and the most recent Red Sox vs. Rays series. We also discussed what the next laundry series will look like.

Here is a bit of what we talked about:

• I lied to Ed, apparently
• Garrett Crochet hates Chicago
• Sean Newcomb hate
• The many nicknames for Chase Meidroth
• The catcher conundrum in Boston, and old friend alerts
• Will anyone get hot on the Red Sox?
• Lucas Giolito update
• Boston’s pitching depth
• Is Major League the best baseball movie?
• An idea for Jobu’s latest sacrifice
• We need to know more about Roberto Clemente, and Ed’s reading corner
• Are the Pirates just laundering money?
• Who will beat the Dodgers?
• The Padres and Dylan Cease
• The Giants are actually good
• The White Sox are winning it all and Meidroth is about to raise hell
