Is Matt co hosting? I thought Dan didn't allow him to?

I know most of us Sox fans would like them to pack this year in some way or another. I really hate hearing from these two clowns about "getting closer to a championship" though. Go fuck yourself. BTW, as soon as they would trade Sale for pieces and he goes on to win 4 Cy Youngs in a row and two World Series they would roast the Sox too.

if you don't have any confidence in the people running the team, don't be a fan of that team - Dan

I heard him say the same thing, but when a caller wanted clarification on it Dan said he didn't say it the way the caller did. Dan went into one of his long-winded explanations of what he said and Matt backed him up. Apparently, they each have imaginary headphones because City of Fools, Pittmike, myself and the caller all seemed to have heard the same thing.

He basically said the caller (and you, Pittmike, chip egan, etc) was too stupid to pick up on the nuances of his statement.

It's a high bar to clear, but this might be the dumbest thing Dan has ever said.

Except for people that doubted The Plan. Those people were morons.

I remember there being an extra bit in the original statement (though maybe it was inserted when Dan restated his premise after being called on it), and it was more like: "If you think that this move is the right thing to do, but don't want the move to be made because you aren't confident that those running the team can do it properly, you need to find a new team to root for."

That's...not really an awful point of view.

It kind of is though. We are the White Sox. We'll be around long after Reinsdorf, Williams, and Hahn are gone. It's almost like saying, if you're not confident your kid can get into an Ivy League school, you need to find a new kid.

By Dan's logic, Mike Murphy should have turned in his Cub fan card during the Andy McPhail regime. Murphy hated the way he ran the team despite the fact he was in charge when they made the playoffs in 1998 and 2003. Murph might not of liked McPhail, but he still loved the Cubs.

The thing is, I may not have confidence in those making the decisions, but if I'm proven wrong over a move they made, then fine. If it works out and makes the team I root for better, that's great. That is the goal. Frankly, I don't know of anyone who would not want a correct move to be made because they don't have confidence in the group making the decision. A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then, and it's possible for management types who have not exactly done well in their jobs to make a good move. A transaction that legitimately helps the team is a good thing, regardless of who made the call on it.

I don't have any confidence in the management styles of Gar or Kenny, and I think it is time for Jerry to part company with both of them. However, I don't see Jerry doing that since his past history is that of being loyal to those he likes. Still, I want to see the Bulls and Sox win because I have been a fan of each since I was a little kid. There are always going to be ups and downs with teams and we as fans live them both.
