White Sox fans deserve better than this nonsense

From the Adam LaRoche saga in spring training to Chris Sale's uniform-slashing episode to the Robin Ventura finale, White Sox management put on a clinic in how to mishandle a sticky situation this season.
When in doubt, they obfuscated, hid from the media, released statements stating no one would address the issue du jour, then spun their chums in the media with their own skewed version of events.
The reward for a season of total ineptitude?
Meet the new Sox. Same as the old Sox.
