Who is your fav Sox Mgr of all time

[NO!!MARY!!!]

My faves from White Sox history are Fielder Jones, manager of the

1906 Hitless Wonders; Al Lopez, love him or hate him he was a

brilliant manager who got the most out of players; Eddie Stanky,

who shot off his mouth and took guff from no one, although it may

have ultimately done the team more harm than good, especially

in 1967. Special props to Lena Blackburne, who had his own special

way of dealing with problem players like Art Shires- he beat them up.

Well, at least he and Shires tangoed a couple of times. Gotta love any

manager who isn't afraid to throw down when his player steps out of

line. And you thought Ozzie was bad.

 

The WORSTmanager ever in

the history of the Chicago White Sox, in fact in the history of baseball and the

whole entire HISTORY OF HISTORYwas that dumb, stupid, goofy, moronic, dumbass dips*** jackass idiot moron asswipe brainless stupid assclown BEVINGTON!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay, okay. Maybe Bevington wasn't the worst manager in the history of history.

Maybe Spiros, manager of the Spartan Olympic Discus Team, circa 355 B.C., was

a worse manager than Bevington. But I doubt it!!!!! :fyou :fyou :fyou

He also kept Billy Pierce under wraps in the 59 WS. Lopez was a smart baseball man and a good game day strategist. He was also thin skinned and dictatorial. Still, all in all he did more with less for a longer period of time than any manager in my lifetime. For all his faults he is the best Sox manager in the last half century. Ozzie Guillen on the other hand is a disaster waiting to happen. I wish he would just put a muzzle on it for the rest of the season. Outspoken is one thing. What Ozzie sometimes does is quite another.

 

Luis Aparacio also called him SIR after Looie rejoined the Sox and Lopez was visiting during spring training. It was with reverence and not fear, but Lopez was the man in charge no doubt.
