Milkman delivers Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 1 hour ago, pcullotta said: Tom Berenger. James Gammon would have been my first choice, but he is unavailable due to death, so I'll go with his protege. They have succeeded in these circumstances before, why couldn't they do it again? Despicable owner - Check Team built to lose - Check Stadium issues/threatening to leave city - Check Terrible fan attendence - Check Players that nobody knows - Check For those who say Berenger is too old, he is younger than another recent manager of ours. Pitcher with legal issues and a shitty haircut - Check Seriously though, I like the idea another poster suggested in a different thread where a fan is chosen each game and announced like The Price Is Right.

Chimpton Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 How about a rolling manager where each person on Soxtalk gets a go for a series, let's face it we all think we could do it ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 2 hours ago, The Beast said: AJ Pierzynski Paul Konerko Jim Thome Scott Podsednik Outside the box? Willie Harris or Mark DeRosa Good post Beast. I also thought of AJP immediately after Ozzie. ... But since the Sox already are not getting fined for making a mockery of baseball (all involved should be ASHAMED of this roster) I'd do something fun the rest of the year. Instead of a celebrity singing take me out to the ballgame, have a celebrity manager each series. Start with Steve Stone, then Big Hurt, then Obama, then Kathy Griffin, then Lori Lightfoot (Sox fan), then Brad Underwood, etc., down the line. It'd be fun. If Ozzie or AJP were willing they could sit in the dugout next to the guest manager and make sure they knew the rules, etc. Pay them a few bucks to help.

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Hawk. He’ll get so fed up with how awful the team is that he’ll go silent and ditch out on them like Ozzie but to go play golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty close to Little Big League there with the Twins. Jirschele or Leyland's son the correct answers here...at least someone under 45 or even 40. Or a player manager. Most likely for JR would probably be Montoyo. Another really fun one would be KW...but he would never agree to do it in a million years.

Paulie4Pres Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 As a fan, you would have to massively overpay me to manage this fucking abomination. It's the worst job in baseball. You can't squeeze water out of a rock, and anyone who has watched more than nine innings of this team, knows it. They won't fire Grifol because they won't find anybody to take this job that would be an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this shitty of a roster I'll be happy if I see some improvement each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
