00:00309. Hope I'm still alive in 2034 so I can return to being a White Sox fan. I quit after the La Russa circus and firing of Jason Benetti.
00:08Hate Reinstorf with a passion.
00:11Yeah, how do you guys feel about this? It's like the news is out there. This is good. There's good transition plan, but that plan's not for a little bit.
00:17And we don't know exactly during that little bit.
00:19When I first heard the news, I assumed that this is something that would happen, but that was an assumption by me.
00:24This is now information. I think all the people who talked about what Matt has done with the Suns are valid in pointing that out and understanding the trajectory of that franchise right now.
00:38I do think that at some point you knew that Jerry Reinstorf was going to do something different with the team as far as ownership was concerned.
00:46Unlike the Bulls where Michael is in charge of the Bulls.
00:50I feel like in this case, a pathway to a new process and a new ownership, I hope, means more money for the team overall.
01:01I definitely hope that is the case for what we're going to see on the field.
01:05I wonder how much this combines with the news of what we have reported.
01:09Lawrence Holmes doing that as well as NBC Chicago that CHSN is going to get carriage on Comcast.
01:17I find the timing of those two things very interesting.
01:21I feel like they could be related, but also I feel like the NBA on NBC part of this, to not have NBA in a market such as Chicago, plays some type of around-the-way role in this as well.
01:35I mean, there's a lot of different moving parts.
01:37I want to go back to the back of Reinstorf's quote.
01:39I have always expressed my intent to operate the White Sox as long as I am able and remain committed to returning this franchise to the level of on-field success we all expect and desire.
01:53And I just wonder if his expectations and desires are the same as the fan base because they don't seem to have been in lockstep in recent years.
02:00And I will say, Jerry Reinstorf may be 89, but I don't have concern regarding current cognitive anything.
02:06Oh, no.
02:06I think the guy still has his fastball.
02:08Well, no.
