The latest episode of the Second City Suffering Report, a daily podcast about Chicago sports fandom, is out: “Will Venable Wins an Award and Gives It Away.” Here is how the 7-minute episode, released Nov. 11, sums up the day:
Will Venable is the American League Manager of the Year — 111 points and 15 of 30 first-place votes — the sixth White Sox manager honored and the first since Ozzie Guillén in 2005, on a 24-win jump and a playoff berth after three straight 100-loss seasons.
The show rates the day 5 out of 10 on its “Suffering Index.”
