Mike Mulligan and David Haugh opened their show by reacting to the White Sox's 5-4 loss to the Twins on Tuesday and by discussing the debacle that manager Tony La Russa created out of rookie slugger Yermin Mercedes hitting a homer on a 3-0 count in the ninth inning of a blowout victory Monday night. Later, the guys conducted the 5 at 5, where they hit on the biggest storylines of the day, including the concern level for Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo as he deals with back tightness, the Bears having as many as 70 players attend the first day of offseason workouts and whether the Bulls should pursue point guard Derrick Rose in free agency.
