I just came back from Boston, and obviously am very pleased with the results. I was staying at the Marriott, where the team stayed, which I've done before in several cities. It was interesting to see the large number of White Sox fans at the hotel.It was by far the greatest number I have ever seen. All the players were very gracious with autographs and photos. I was sitting down on a chair in the lobby just watching everything going on, when Harold sat next to me. I said hello, and asked him a stupid question, he started talking and frankly wouldn't stop. He was pretty funny. One of the writers in the Herald noticed he's been talking more lately. Knowing he is a big favorite of JR, I was wondering if the Sox have sent him to one of those media training things, maybe to prepare him for a bigger job. As a manager, those one word answers he's famous for,(although appropriate most of the time) wouldn't go over very well. The White Sox offense really started to take off when Walker hurt his elbow, and Harold stepped in. Could Harold succeed JM? Would it be a good move? Personally I think if JM is launched, Backman, or a big name with MLB managing experience should get the job, but it would not surprise me if I'm on to something.
