* Ed Sherman…
I’m guessing it’s time to change the slogan for the White Sox. I don’t think you can hire somebody like Robin Ventura as manager and say you’re “All In.”
Bringing in Terry Francona would have been an “All In” move. You could have made the case for Davey Martinez or Ryne Sandberg, who have paid their dues in the dugout. […]
If you’re a longtime Sox fan like me, you remember the Sox hired Don Kessinger as a first-time manager in 1979. We heard the same description as we did about Mr. Ventura: classy player, great guy, played baseball the right way. The former shortstop was fired in mid-season after compiling a 46-60 record.
Hopefully, Mr. Ventura will have a better run than Mr. Kessinger.
As for the new slogan, perhaps something involving patience might be in order. One piece of advice for the Sox: Please stay away from any Batman and Robin references.

Then they can bring back the spirit of Bill Veeck and put Rich Miller in uniform as the “designated fan”.

To bad it won’t be, but I would love to see billboards across the south side emblazoned with a picture of Kenny WIlliams (perhaps with a blues guitar) with the slogan, “Nobody’s fault but mine.”

walkinfool, you might want to copyright that slogan.

“Kenny’s Extension”.
No way this is anything except ‘about Kenny’. Just like it was ‘all about Oozie’.
How many foolish things can Williams screw up while being gen mgr? This has got to be a ‘work-in-progress-give-me-5-more-years’ game.
Good luck Sox Fans.
