Other than the fact that it's fun to pick on White Sox personel, I don't get the Reinsdorf hate. His teams have won lots of games and multiple championships. He spends money and doesn't screw people over. Exactly - I don't get why people hate on him. He spends reasonable amounts of money in spite of the notoriously fical Sox fanbase and clearly allows his marketing department a pretty nice budget. He's loyal to Ken Williams and Guillien in spite of themselves. The Sox have been over .500 every year this decade excepting 2007, have won more than 90 games three times and won a WS. On the Bulls side of things, Reinsdorf showed loyalty to Jerry Krause even though he didn't necessarily deserve it, he paid Michael Jordan $35 million a year for each his last two years with the team, he authorized the recent spending on Hinrich, Wallace, Noc, etc. Could he have done more to keep the 98' Bulls together - maybe (Jackson - much as I love him - seemed hell-bent on leaving, as did Pippen). But that ignores all that was done under Reinsdorf's watch to put together basketball's greatest dynasty and greatest teams.
