At 1:43pm on Thursday, I got a text from a friend (White Sox fan) saying “I’m actually shocked at Shildt news.” I had no idea what that news could have been. My first instinct was something more like Jon Gruden e-mails. Firing would probably not have been in my top five guesses.But of course, that is exactly what happened, as John Mozeliak and Bill Dewitt, Jr. quickly held a press conference to announce the firing of their field manager for the past 3+ seasons. Ben and I recorded an EMERGENCY
