RagahRagah Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 This team was just starting to develop a lot of swagger and a lot of personality and these guys are having a lot of fun out there. You really don't think Tony larussa being the guy in that Dugout full of minorities is going to have an effect on morale and the complexion of this team? Man, I hateed Renteria as manager but we can always count on the White Sox to make us miss the last guy, no matter how bad he was. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of how KW brought in Robbie Alomar, Carl Everett and a couple others in 2003 and then none of them came back and D'Angelo Jimenez was out there instead. Reminds me also of not bringing back Charles Johnson, missing on ARod, the Machado fiasco where they just didn't offer the most guaranteed money, etc. Reminds me of KW's constant tongue-fingering of the dorf's asshole while admonishing the fans for not showing up and saying he can't spent a dollar when he only has 50 cents, etc. Expand They couldn't play that 50 cents BS on the West Side.

Expand I'm just glad I believe/know managers are worthless, and I know hating your manager might get you to spite-produce haha, so the only real negative effect this moron could have on the team is PR related for the most part. I hate Jerry for doing this because it looked like Rick wanted to cry, but in the grade scheme of things it doesn't matter. Tony can sleep in his office all season for all I care, these guys are gonna go out and light the world on fire regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That's a big 1, ya know, 3 hours into Tony being our manager. But yes, a lot of baseball players do share Tony's view points so it's not like we're going to lose out on everyone because of this. Money for the most part will always win anyways but when your owner is JR that's obviously not great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
