White Sox podcast from Southside Showdown details what the franchise needs to do become great again.

With the White Sox beginning a two-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, what can the team expect from this series? Southside Showdown contributors Anders Johanson and Owen Schoenfeld discuss a variety of topics on the podcast.

After another poor start from James Shields, what will the White Sox expect from a starter looking like he has nothing left? Will the bullpen continue to covering games in which Shields start? With Chris Sale finally getting his 15th win last Saturday, is vintage Sale back?

Jose Quintana recorded his 10th win on Sunday, is Quintana a candidate for the Cy Young award? The White Sox will start Carlos Rodon and Shields against the Phillies, can the team expect solid starts from both pitchers?

Jose Abreu has been on a tear recently, can the White Sox expect this to continue? What other contributions can the team expect from other players on offense?

The White Sox front office has been mired in mediocrity, should the White Sox sell some of their best players? What would be the best course of action in the offseason? Is Rick Hahn able to do his job effectively with Kenny Williams around?
