DirtySox Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 I didn't think the White Sox could be more of a laughing stock then they alreasdy are. Hiring LaRussa would prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Is there another source for that? The article posted yesterday seemed more speculative, but also the Sox are going to Sox, so it is always possible they do the dumbest possible thing.

supernuke Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 If LaRussa is installed as interim manager will that be enough for the other owners to prove JR is no longer of sound mind and should no longer be in charge. He has either lost his mind or he truly is an evil genius, no matter how bad things look he can always find a way to make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring LaRussa would prove me wrong. Expand Not to pick nits but he's already on the payroll as a special advisor and he travels with the team. He can finish out the string and they can do a manager search during the off season. Plus Reinsdorf wouldn't have to pay two people to do the same job which we all know he absolutely hates doing.

Scott Merkin Fan Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Getz, taking a deep breath, marches into the Chairman’s office: “I’d like to fire Pedro Grifol.” Jerry replies with a quick no. Getz: “And install Tony La Russa. He’s a hall of famer baseball man and will help us right the ship.” And poof, Tony is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That or jersey day related to a given player (or coach in this case) is almost always the kiss of death, especially after any type of "vote or expression of confidence" from ownership that is issued in a public manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dope has survived a 3-22 start and a 14 game losing streak after a 101 loss season last year. Something tells me results don't much matter to his fate at this point.
