White Sox manager Robin Ventura not down despite disappointing season

Robin Ventura was asked, in so many words, if he was having fun yet?

The White Sox manager has seen his team fall short of expectations through 129 games, going 61-68.

"It can be a grind and you go through it. But, yeah, I enjoy coming in here every day," Ventura said with a straight face before watching his team edge the Mariners 6-5 in 11 innings Sunday to earn a split of the four-game series.

Ventura was the surprise choice to manage the Sox to start the 2012 season. His record is 282-333. How much does he enjoy the gig now?
