I really think the White Sox should do what they need to do and bring back pierogis to the stadium. Utterly distraught at the beginning of the year they let them go and have not stopped thinking about it since. I need those pierogis and grilled onions back in 2022.

We know TLR was a Jerry hire. It was more obvious from Hahn’s “hostage” style press conference when he introduced TLR as the new manager.
We need Jerry to sell the team to move forward. Remember, the Cubs didn’t just fire Ricky to move the team forward, but they also had new ownership within the last few years before their window opened as well.
FJR
Do y'all think if and when Jerry passes his children would be open to putting the White Sox on sale? And who do you all think would be an ideal buyer? I want someone like Cohen who so graciously says "this is for the fans not to make money" while it definitely is a bit of a lie it's good to hear an owner say, "yeah we are here to spend and win so we can all enjoy a good baseball team". Also can I get a bunch of "FUCK JERRY" comments below cause seriously FUCK JERRY.
> Man it’s amazing how NBA owner/ESPN business partner Jerry Reinsdorf is being presented as a reasonable authority figure in this ESPN documentary ... shame he couldn’t wrangle his villainous employee Jerry Krause (who’s dead and can’t talk)

This was one of my main takeaways from the first two episodes as well. It feels like some of the things Krause was maligned for were done at Reinsdorf's direction but Krause had to be the public face. What are your thoughts?
Just got seriously into basketball this year, and being from Chicago of course I wanted to be a Bulls fan. But I'm the type of person that struggles to support a team if I don't feel like they have good intentions. For example I decided to be a Raptors fan this past year because I loved Masai Ujiri, and Nick Nurse is wholesome as hell (hes also a Cubs fan so that helped). But now I've seen nothing but good things from AKME and Billy Donovan is a great coach that has been praised by players. This seems like an organization that cares about its players and thats what I care about. Considering everything that has happened in previous yesrs, and Reinsdorf being notoriously cheap what made him decide to make these changes? Obviously I'm not complaining, and I have brought myself up to speed on the team but I couldn't find an explanation for this one question.
Here's the clip and transcript of Bill Simmons talking it through. He thinks there's no way Reinsdorf would have given up the "Jordan dynasty money machine" to keep Krause on.
Did I miss something, why is this man hating so hard on Cohen?
Reinsdorf bought The Bulls in 1985 and immediately hired Jerry Krause as his GM. The Bulls went on to win 6 championships with Krause at the helm, but then Reinsdorf stuck with Krause while losing Phil Jackson, Jordan, and Pippen. Jerry Krause then retired in 2003. Reinsdorf went on to hire John Paxson. In 2009 Paxson was moved to the title of "VP of Basketball Operations," and Gar Forman was promoted to take the title of General Manager.
In 35 year of owning The Chicago Bulls, Jerry Reinsdorf has never once fired a General Manager.
