David Haugh and Mark Grote, who was sitting in for Mike Mulligan, opened their show by reacting to the Cubs' 3-2 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday and by previewing the White Sox's big series against the Brewers this weekend. They also discussed White Sox rookie Yermin Mercedes changing course and reporting for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights on Thursday after he claimed a night before that he was retiring. Later, the guys conducted the 5 at 5, where they hit on the biggest storylines of the day.
