Silence is Golden

White Sox manager Mickey Mouse did an interview on the team website today where he said, “I actually love” Sox fans “because they are passionate, they are smart.” But why in heaven’s name would we love him back? Yesterday, Mouse’s team sleepwalked its way through a 6-1 beatdown in Yankee Stadium. Brad Keller got the start and fell in love with the number four, as in four innings pitched, four strikeouts, four solo shots. Keller told reporters afterwards, “Stuff felt good, made some mistakes but just tried to settle in and get as deep in the game as I could.” Follow that up with Mouse’s observation, “Keller was OK at time but missed out over the plate enough to give up some runs,” and you can see why Sox fans are a grumpy lot. [both comments in today’s Tribune] They’re too smart to listen to remarks so dumb.
