middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 the score
We have breaking news. Breaking news on the score is sponsored by IDOT. Speeding in a work zone is a no win. Mind the signs. Avoid the fines. Oh, my God. So for everybody who said, why are you messing around trying to trade for Max Crosby? Go get Miles Garrett. I'm like, Miles Garrett isn't available. Miles Garrett was available. Miles Garrett in a blockbuster is going to the Rams. Jared Verse is part of the package returning to Cleveland. So the two-time defensive player of the year, Miles Garrett, going to the Rams. In exchange, the Rams are expected to send Jared Verse a 2027 first-round pick and other draft pick compensation that is still being negotiated because, yeah, Miles Garrett is worth all of that.
So we'll get into that after we bring on our next guest. Let's stay on the baseball tip for now. Connor McKnight. And Connor, who is with the White Sox and CHSN, reporter and play-by-play announcer. Connor, you have to tell us. You're the deciding factor in this. Was it Connor McDoink or was it Connor McJoin or did it become both?
You know, it's a good question. I don't know. I could tell the whole story of how that actually happened, Layla. It's so much more boring than you might think. But I don't know what happened there. No one ever will. Not really. It will haunt me to the end of my days.
How has the White Sox's five-game winning streak impacted fan morale?
And thank God there's nothing else I've said that was really stupid on the radio station. That's a good thing for me.
Connor, shout out to Scorebird Updates. Really, it's what got us where we are today. So, RIP to Scorebird Updates. You did great, great work, except for that one time.
except for that one time uh grody i don't know about you man but i still hear like i'll wake up in the dead of night and i'll hear the stinger from the scoreboard update in my sleep and it will fire me out of bed and i'll be oh my god i should be doing an update and then boris is just gonna make some noises or something like that and i'll be late it'll be weird
Mine is a little bit different. Mine is it's time for the scoreboard update or doing an update on WBBM at 15 and 45, and I have nothing in front of me. I have no script, no nothing, and I'm just making it up, and I'm stumbling through it, and I'm getting everything wrong, and I feel like I'm going to get fired.
You got an email nine seconds before the update of 55 different sponsors that you have to fit in, and you're just stumbling through each one of them.
Scoreboard update. Oh, God, there it is. You heard it.
Oh, my God.
Carry on without us. We're traumatized now. Wait, did we lose Connor? No, no, no. We just... No, still here.
I'm making an appointment with my therapist after the stinger plane. That's all.
Well, Connor, we're here to help guide you back into mental health positivity. I think it is Men's Mental Health Month this month, June 1st. So we'll celebrate that by saying... How good of a mood have the White Sox put the south side of Chicago and the city at large and just the way they coasted through that month with a winning record eight games above .500 and what was predicted at the beginning of the season by some, which is a top-ten offense?
It's a lot of fun, right? I mean, it's been a lot of fun taking care of business in the division. It has been a whole lot of fun. You took care of a Tigers team when they were down.
What challenges does the White Sox face in their upcoming schedule?
I mean, shoot, Marshall, if you're a Detroit fan, right, who's looking at the AL Central and trying to make sense of things, you're looking at the Tigers coming into Chicago and thinking, well, you've got Frambois lined up, you've got Yes, pretty good. And Cater Montero lined up, who pitched really well. And this is your chance to kind of get things right and get a couple wins in division. And sure, the White Sox are playing well, but maybe you can take care of some here. No, that didn't happen at all. I mean, the White Sox ran them up and down the floor. It was a couple of close games, but at no point did the Tigers really look put together. I was stunned by how disjointed that whole thing looked and how kind of anarchy the removal of Cater Montero in the particular game, I think it was the second one, kind of felt.
