That guy has the thinnest skin of any coach or gm to come through town

Kenny is a child, he wants softball questions, when he doesnt get it, he gets pissed off and some of the media backs right off when that happens. Lets say they had Lou on today, for example, and lou got pissy, he would be roasted.

And since when is defending your record to the print media here in the same fashion as which he was questioned the equivalent of getting "pissy"?

He can defend last year, fine, but he won one playoff game, so its a fair question to ask if he really thinks he improved the club this year, he didnt think so and branded it as negative, not really, it was a legit question.

Dallas Green? That was 25 years ago and I dont get the comparsion

George and Jesse had a BAD BAD BAD show!

When they have the GM on and the host opens with a dumbfuck statement like 'coming off an improbable division title' he deserves to get hammered. The title may have been improbable to the so called experts but it wasn't improbable to Kenny. 'All this does is help the Tigers compete with us'. George and Jesse had a BAD BAD BAD show!

Wait...didn't the great Dallas Green get just as pissed...without winning anything substantive here...is he a child as well?


I can tell you for sure that Dallas Green would get ticked even more than Kenny ever does now. Green still holds a grudge against me for the Elia tape. He thought I should have put the tape of the tirade "in my pocket" and not ever air it. Never mind the fact that the 3 writers in the room with me and Elia were going to print it the next morning and Dallas would have had to fire his good friend since no apology news conference would not have been held. Green always made sarcastic comments about me for the next year and a half until the night the Cubs clinched the NL East in Pittsburgh(Sept 24,1984).That night he told me he was burying the hatchet, but then in 1985 when they went back to 'sucking' he went back to holding a grudge. Fast forward to 1994,the day Sandberg retired(the 1st time),and Bruce Levine got Green to come on with him and myself on my then Mid-Day show on WMVP. Green gave me nothing but sarcastic answers while he answered Bruce's questions in a legit way. He even said he "only came on the show because of Bruce Levine". He was trying to make me look bad on my own program. (Hell, I could do that on my own,without his help!) It was at that point that I decided I would never deal with this guy again-and I haven't-not even when he managed the Yanks or Mets.
Elia and I are fine today,but I'm told that Dallas still is pissed at me almost 26 years later! Cool huh?

Grobber, another DG comparsion? I dont understand what that has to do with apperance on the show today. I know the south side faithful is going to defend him, thats fine, but it doesnt take away the fact that Kenny expect the media to lick his boots and not corner him with questions he might not want to answer, that cant be denied, he has proven that and in a whole, the MGT of the white sox have proved to be that way over the last 5 years.

Kenny does come off poorly on his interviews, I am not going to argue this point, its been proven and to say its ok because some GM from 25 years did it, its a weak argument

What I guess I am saying is that having dealt with both of these guys, I would muich rather deal with Kenny any day! True Kenny will tell you if he doesn't like the question(Jim Hendry is the same BTW),but they both can 'let it go' and move on. They do not hold grudges. Dallas was different. Again, I enjoy talking Baseball and the Sox with Kenny. He's different than Ozzie,but they both are always willing to chat about the Sox with you.

Kenny gets the red ass on occasion

Les, it goes back to when the score had that halfwit Murph on in the mornings and the mike in the afternoons.
Back then Mac was putting out a quality show. Obviously, things have changed and no one, not even Bigfan, can tell me how to change my name.
Mac's show turned to shit, Murph still sucks and the mike has become Mr. Irrelevant.

I guess I would rather be the fan of a team whose management has such thin skin that it chafes at even the slightest hint of criticism than a team whose management has developed skin so thick that it comfortably uses the "charm" of 101 seasons of futility as its main marketing strategy.

why would you change your ID? Don't you still agree with your assesment? Unless Kaplan is coming over to the Score too...
