Look at Ray Ray Run

Hows your back feeling from carrying all that water harold?

He said everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It literally might the dumbest use of that argument I've seen. La russa was drunk driving. Its not As if csi is scouring the crime scene to confirm who it was. The guy was drunk And drove. Stone trying to pretend he's being impartial is comical. He made a fool of himself.

Unless chisox1917 has his resume in the batch, im not sure you could possibly do worse than TLR. 1. Had to talk him into it 2. He doesn't know his players names yet 3. Hes been out of the game almost longer than Tim Anderson has been playing it. 4. He is intolerant There likely isn't a worse hire out there.

Democrats every bit as complicit in the mass grift by the wealthy as Repubs over last 40 years

I mean you can watch the whole clip.

FYI, this was a clear poor attempt at a joke by Pompeo; he even followed it up with a "listen, we're ready. The whole world is watching us and we're going to count every vote." It was a horrible attempt at a joke by a guy who likely has no sense of humor and is a complete POS, but he wasn't being serious.

They're kind of the radio station of the competition now so not all that surprising. Good on them for talking about it.

Doesn't happen in baseball; the union is not for this tactic which is why you never ever see it in baseball compared to other sports.

LaRussa hasn't even reached out to team leaders; let alone the entire roster. Tony will get around to it in February.

? Why does a manager need to contact players!

Oh, just wait until the video gets released. that's when this will get real fun!

Can we please stop quoting Schins? The guy is literally some dork who makes up rumors in his basement and his only connection to the White Sox comes through his emails in MLB the Show.

When I spoke to my rep - and this was after the hire - he seemed like it had been a tiring day. I imagine today is similar if not even worse; or at least I can hope.

I mean, they can say that but they're not attorney's nor do they work for the Phoenix PD so there's no reason why an ongoing investigation muzzles their ability to speak on it.

Manny Machado didn't hear from the Padres at all until the middle/end of December.

Which is nonsense though; last off-season, to use it as an example, there were guys who signed with teams that didn't reach out to them at all until December or January. Typically you're going to focus on certain guys early - as the Sox did with Grandal - and as the off-season evolves you may shift your focus or desires and reach out to new players. Especially in this current environment where all teams are being hesitant to do anything with Corona, this off-season will likely take even longer to develop and play out.

I already cancelled my season tickets with the hiring so I'm all out of leverage.

Which is fine, and he absolutely called the La Russa hiring, but the thing he is now claiming literally goes against business 101, and baseball agenting 101. There's just no chance Marcus Stroman knows the Sox have zero interest in him this early in an off-season.

I get that, and I don't doubt for one second that the Sox had less interest in a pitcher like Stroman but the fact is there's no way they would have told Stroman that already, and if they did they are complete morons who eliminate leverage with other FA's by stating that one isn't even on their radar. So portraying this as Stroman lashing out because the Sox told him they weren't interested just seems wrong.

Harold, what does this even mean? Even if the Sox had not expressed interest yet - at all - there's no way Stroman would know that for a fact. It's not as if his agent called him and told him to go scorched earth because the Sox called and said they had no interest in a 5'9 SP in his thirties. it's very possible the Sox have zero interest in Stroman, but the odds that Stroman would know that and act out in this way because of that is near zero. Fact is, you've been loving this hire since it was made so you aren't exactly an unbias source of information regarding the negative impacts of this hiring.

100% by design. Let the people who are likable speak for and represent the organization and hope the backlash just goes away with time.

I've never in my life of following baseball seen a big money free agent be legitimately hostile towards a potential FA landing spot due to their manager or other aspects of the organization. This is truly amazing.

He's a big time dog; Cash pretty much a lock based on the number but it would be hilarious no doubt.

Buck's a me first douche bag who treats players like high schoolers. I feel pretty similarly about both guys; both fans of the unwritten rules nonsense, both hate fun. I guess Adam Jones hated Tony a lot more than Buck though so that tells a bit of a story.

Definitely a bad look, but if people would play for Buck Showalter I don't see why they wouldn't play for Tony. Maybe Buck isn't a closeted racist.
