The streaking Sad Sox made it twenty losses in a row on Sunday, with a 13-7 drubbing at the hands of the Twins. You’d think manager Mickey Mouse would be busy cleaning out his desk, but you’d be wrong. Mouse is busy polishing Jerry Reinsdorf’s apple. Mouse told reporters yesterday he’s been talking to the Chairman and CM Chris Getz. What did they talk about? Mouse won’t say because good Jerry Sox don’t say anything in public. But the worst manager in franchise history did share this about Reinsdorf. “He’s an incredible owner, an incredible man. I know how much he loves Chicago and how much he loves those fans. Jerry’s a winner. He’s an absolute winner.” [quotes in today’s Sun-Times] No, he’s not. If Reinsdorf were anything close to a winner, he’d have shown Mouse the door at the end of last season. Even a mediocre owner would’ve found someone else by now. But what do we get with Reinsdorf? A man so insecure he keeps Mickey Mouse around for no other discernible reason other than to sing his praises. Sox fans must’ve really ticked off the Almighty to deserve this level of punishment.
