Never-never Land

The Sun-Times did a story today on Tony La Russa, manager-turned-advisor to the White Sox. Current manager Mickey Mouse, who is nothing if not a suck-up to power, called his predecessor “one of the great managers in this game” and someone who “has become a good friend.” If they handed out awards for apple polishing, Mouse would have a shelf full of them. Nothing in the story about the upcoming SoxFest, because there won’t be one. Jerry Reinsdorf is not interested in hearing from the peasants. And nothing so far on a new television voice to replace Jason Benetti. That will come in good time, when Reinsdorf feels like it. At least the gray sky matches my mood.
