The idea that Williams and Reinsdorf "brought a championship" is technically correct, but it happened by accident after they slashed payroll. If you're actually trying to win a championship you don't trade Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik and replace Magglio Ordonez with Jermaine Dye.

Kenny was always aggressive. It felt like he was trying to win every year. I'm still pissed Uncle Jerry vetoed a Cabrera deal because he didn't want to assume Dontrelle Willis' contract.

My biggest problem with Kenny is that he keeps trying to draft himself which requires ignoring the fact that he was a failure as a player. Billy Beane is about the same age as Kenny and was as highly regarded as a player and he learned from his own experience not to try to draft himself.

Kenny drafted all those guys with football skills and none of them made it until Anderson. And that's why he's so attached to Tim Anderson. He's the first one who has shown any ability at all to hit at the big league level. But they'd be better off trading him.

"...but he (JR) brought you a championship."

He very quietly is the most obsequious "talent" at the station. I know Bruce would have called him Mr. Reinsdorf, but not even he would have the gall to justify the last 40+ years of disdainful treatment of White Sox fans with one championship.

I listen to the station so infrequently now that I can’t remember guy’s name.

And after the last two seasons I don’t even want to talk about 2005

But that team still scored overwhelmingly by the home run.

I'm going solely off of memory here, but I recall that season being a tale of two seasons from a scoring standpoint. During the first two or three months of the year, Podsednik was getting on base and stealing bases like a fiend. Then he got hurt, the running game basically stopped, and they reverted back to scoring off of the long ball.

Turned on the SCORE Today for the afternoon show. Hear the awfulness of ZZ and turn it immediately off. No thank you.
