The guy had every reason to keep his name in the running for the GM job there. Being a GM, I will assume is his goal at one point, it's San Diego (never hurts), he is from San Diego, but he chose to stay with the Cubs. I would give the Shoutout, even if it wasnt the Cubs. The guy has a plan and wants to be a part of this thing when it gets good. Now, I just hope his plan works. FYI, have been able to sit down with him a couple of times and talk. Once at the Computer store, he was getting his laptop fixed and another at the Salt and pepper. Yes, he truely is a good dude. |

Sox and Cubs seem to have good guys as GM right now. World of difference from the last 2. |

I can't think of two more thin-skinned baseball GM's. Not sure about Kenny but I thought Hendry was. He was close with Wood and other players and the story about the Ted Lilly signing showed how much he cared. I got to witness the best baseball I've ever seen in Chicago with both of them as GM so that does influence my opinion somewhat. |

Hopefully that continues to hold over all White Sox fans for the future. As a fan of a sports team, I don't care whether my last championship was two years ago, 10 years ago, or 100 years ago. I want to know when my next championship is coming. Is any Hawks fan not upset by getting bounced this past post-season because "oh well...we've won a couple recently...let's have another team enjoy their own championship moment." Fuck that. |

Two? Did I forget one? 2008? Two. The point still stands. Championships don't last longer than the season you win the championship in, and playoff appearances last just the same. |

I wouldn't be putting up with this complete tear-down rebuild if I was going to be happy with one and then deal with multiple decades of further torment. I require a reasonable period of success. |

How many do I expect? Zero. I'm a Cubs fan. How many for me to be truly happy? At least a couple...surrounded by many seasons of competing / making the playoffs even in seasons that don't result in a World Series. I'd be 'accepting' with no World Series wins as long as The Plan results in teams I can be proud of. Still won't be extremely happy...but I'd be somewhat content. |

I'll take one World Series win every twenty years but I guess that is setting low expectations.

It always amazes me how some people value playoff appearances more than actual titles. I'm not trading with the Tigers even though they have more recent playoff appearances. |
