00:00They became a team that lost a hundred and ninety games.
00:05He's eighty-nine and one ninety.
00:07A hundred and ninety games in less than two seasons.
00:10He's on the Mount Rushmore.
00:12He will be there.
00:14If you want to start with worst White Sox managers, he may be.
00:18Bevington, Griffo.
00:22So, White Sox managers since 2011, that's when Ozzie left.
00:27Don Cooper for two games.
00:29Robin Ventura from 2012 to 2016.
00:32Which he did begrudgingly.
00:34Yes, the reluctant one.
00:36Ricky Renteria from 2017 to 2020.
00:39Aging well.
00:41Tony La Russa, speaking of aging well.
00:432021 to 2022.
00:45Miguel Cairo took over in 22.
00:47We haven't talked enough about him coming back.
00:49And then of course, Pedro for the last two seasons.
00:54Yeah, so now they have an opportunity.
00:56Now a new interim manager.
00:58An opportunity to do what?
01:00See, I know that's going to be the reaction.
01:02I think every time you have an opening like this,
01:04you have an opportunity to change your franchise for the better.
01:08So, there will be cynicism that you just have to deal with.
01:11It's inherent.
01:12But you do have an opportunity to improve your franchise
01:15for the next, fill in the blank, number of years.
01:17I think the disease in this organization is too set in the bone marrow.
01:24I think it's an overly negative way to look at this.
01:26But I respect where you're coming from.
01:28Because I think that you're the Sox fan and I get it.
01:31But if I'm Chris Getz, or if I'm whoever's leading this charge,
01:35I can't look at it that way.
01:37I feel better about the White Sox today than I did when I woke up this morning.
01:41Yeah, it's fair.
01:43And I get where Dan is coming from and he's right to a large degree.
01:47But that doesn't mean, what this says to me is,
01:52at least, and it's the lowest bar for them to step over
01:55because you're not even jumping over it,
01:57but at least you have identified the fact,
02:01yes, this guy doesn't know what he's doing.
02:05You have, yeah.
02:06And so you got to get him out of there.
