Tony La Russa visiting the southside...

Taken from the Tribune:

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, a former White Sox skipper, has an open invitation from Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to visit the South Side. This might be his chance, because the Cardinals play a day game at Wrigley Field Wednesday and the Sox play a night game at U.S. Cellular Field. "I am invited to dinner Wednesday but I'm trying to set it up early so I can see part of the game," he said

JR getting old and burying the hatchet.

 

No need for Ozzie to look over his shoulder. LaRussa has proven to be one of the top managers for the past two decades. Maybe never the best, but better than most.

 

I thought Hawk's worse move was LaRussa. I could at least see some reasoning regarding Fisk to the outfield but never LaRussa.

Don't make something out of nothing. LaRussa was a former Sox manager, and managed the successful '83 Sox team. The Cards are in town for a series against the Cubs, and JR wanted to catch up w/ an old acquaintance while he has the chance. It's no big deal; he's not taking Ozzie's job. Nor do I think he would want to; he seems happy in St. Louis.

Did you mean to say "Don't make nothing into something"? If so, I agree,

LaRussa $$$ >> Guillen $

 

We could afford Tony 20 years ago and that's why he was our manager then and not now.  Oh, and Hawk did screw that up in his horrid single year as GM, didn't he?

His year was over so fast I cannot remember anything besides LaRussa and Fisk. Did he do anything good?

 

I do remember at least a couple Six fans glad to see Tony leave. They thought he didn't argue enough calls and "stand up for his guys". I guess getting ejected is a good thing.

you are being silly, aren't you?

 

 

As far as LaRussa, will probably be my all time favorite Sox manager. And everyone who reminded me of that horrible experience with Hawk as GM, I wish you hadn't. When Hawk fired LaRussa, finally, it was probably time for Tony to go though. Things had just reached that point. Damn shame.

 

What has always astounded me is that LaRussa has only won 1 world series. With some of the teams he had, he should have won more.
