This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Here's the scorecard ... by CJC
Players 6*
Organizations 0**
Tell us again, Jerry (from the grave), Who wins championships?
* in 13 seasons with Jordan on the roster (including 18 games in '85-'86 due to injury and 17 games in '94-'95 prior to his comeback)
** in 27 seasons of Reinsdorf ownership (excluding the '84-'85 season, as Reinsdorf purchased the team in March 1985 and excluding all seasons during which Jordan was on the roster).
And for good measure ...
1 WS championship
3 playoff series wins
1 AL championship
6 division titles
in 43 seasons of owning the White Sox (I excluded 1994 due to the lockout, although since Reinsdorf largely precipitated that, the season should get counted against him).
That's one non-Jordan championship in 70 combined seasons of ownership.
