Wasn't he not managing on 8/31 and therefore he is ineligible for the playoffs anyways?? Pointless to bring him back in that case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. What a crock of s%*#. I could play that game and say the Sox have only won one division title in the last 15 years and guess who was managing? Technically the Sox have been better under TLR than any manager in a long time. The mighty 2020 White Sox who finished as the 7th seed in a 60 game season where they limped into the playoffs is the standard that TLR s%*# all over according to you. But apparently since they've had a nice 8 game sample size without him, he's clearly the problem. How about Hahn's 10 season sample? Is TLR to blame for that?

NO ONE in this organization is willing to stand in front of a camera and talk about Tony. It's just bizarre. Though the old saying about saying nothing still saying a lot comes to mind. Too bad they can't hire a PR firm to help. They spent all their extra money on Leury and a couple part time relievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you feel the need to defend TLR all the time? Let me make this simple for you....he was brought in to bring this team to and win a World Series. The team is at best a .500 club with him in the dugout. He has been an epic failure. He just has and I am perplexed why you do not understand that. 3 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's people on here who actually believe the team is magically healed now because TLR left for a couple weeks. As if his departure is definitely the spark we needed. That's why I like to joke that the team is playing well now because their skip is in the hospital and their busting their ass for him.

Gar Pax would still be running the Bulls if Jerry didn’t hand them over to Michael.. In a normal organization with normal ownership, the primary target would be Hahn, since an owner would interview and hire a qualified replacement, who in turn would replace the manager as the first order of business.

Looked awful when Cairo and the players were the ones fielding questions. Stone on 670 earlier this week said, in one sentence, that he and Tony have spoke on the phone and that he's doing well. In another sentence, like 3 minutes later, not only does he not know what his "medical emergency" was, Steve says no one else does either. Definitely reeks.

Tony was handed a playoff team and turned it into a .500 team with it getting worse the longer he had been here. I know the Rick Hahn slight of hand is a way to protect Tony, but if Tony was literally anywhere else in baseball, he would have been fired already. Protect Britney all you like, but the results speak for themselves, as does Tony being mocked by the baseball world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything with respect to the Chicago White Sox is in significantly worse shape than it was the day Tony was announced manager. He was an awful hire that somehow got even worse.

You've completely oversimplified his impact. Took a "playoff" team who couldn't make it past the A's to reach the ALDS. Sox stunk before Tony, pal.

They were a vibrant young team that played with fire coming off a playoff berth looking like a juggernaut for the next half decade +. Now they’re lifeless and boring, just like their manager. Injuries and lack of a finishing roster moves have played a big role, but so has Tony. Pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
