Dick Allen Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 No one is going to sign for less money just for the chance to play for Tony, and no one isn’t going to not take JRs money if it’s the best offer out there because Tony is in the dugout. Tony isn’t going to be the difference between being good and being bad. He may be the difference between being good and being great. I think you have to question his energy. You would think at the press conference he would be about as fired up as can be, but it seemed like he was going to fall asleep a few times while answering questions the way the White Sox wanted him to answer them. I question what will happen by August. He is old, and it isn’t an easy job. It will be interesting to see the make up of the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 OK, I'm over it. Just win. It'd be a great story for the books, if TLR comes back and gets 1 more run to a ring. So be it, lets get a RFer, and get the rotation stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guys wear black? #CHANGETHEGAMEOWNER no, while I wouldn't shed a tear for him I don't actually hope JR dies. I hope he loses 99.99% of his money and has to sell the team tomorrow though.

Hahn needed to be checked or fired. This is a check on him and possibly a predicate for sending him packing. I happen to like the chess move. Check. Now wait for the next move. Enough of the damn ageism; jesus christ, it's science. As you age into your 70's and 80's you have cognitive decline. Take it up with neurologists; it's not ageism to cite that age degrades cognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support my players period. I am left of center on most issues and would support like hell Curt Shilling had he been on the White Sox. That's where it ends for me, but I'd never say Curt shouldn't speak his mind. This idea where "entertainers" shouldn't speak out is fascist thinking. So since I am against that ideology I support anyone's right to speak their politics no matter their profession. I am a big boy, I can deal with Curt's right wing ramblings and am able to survive. It's not really that hard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust someone like Larussa to drive me to work everyday for the duration of his contract, why the fff should I trust him to run a team. People like you are why I lost my license. Thanks.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) By the way, I love that everyone loves Tim now - MY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, although I hope he doesn't comment to this post and say "I'm not your guy, buddy" - but I won't forget many here wanted him traded or moved off positions. No one cared about Timmy then, but for me and CWS and maybe a few others! I welcome you all onto the "what does tim want, that's what I want" wagon, but just know you're arriving late and youre not calling the shots.

Dick Allen Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Joel Sherman had a interesting thought. He said for 34 years firing TL has bothered JR so much, that now he brings him back. But is the 76 year old TL the same manager as the 42 year old version? He is well into the losing brain cells portion of life. Has not managed the last 9 seasons. To think he is the same guy he was when he last made out a line up card might be reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
