Back surgery.

I almost wonder if he is waiting on the Cubs.

Again, this is why Bob Nightengale is a water carrier. Now he gets this exclusive interview.

Yeah, I get the whole thing, but at the same time, no state spends more time talking about how they don't need anyone or anything else, and how shitty the rest of the country is. I feel bad for the individuals, but the whole kind of Texas persona pretty much asked for it.

Yep, it is official. Jerry kneecapped his own guys for his own guy.

lol, OK Boo... wait. The whole TLR persona of everything idealized about the 1950s. If you aren't succeeding, you aren't trying hard enough. Everything is better the old way. Players have to conform to cookie cutter roles. Show too much personality, and you are bad for the game. Politics and sports are some how separate. Baseball's unwritten rules. Failure just means you haven't been beaten enough. Players should be seen and not heard, especially if they were going to violate those unwritten rules. This generation of baseball should be dead and buried. It is 2021. Let the 20th century's style of baseball go Tony.

It's easy right now. Things get interesting next week when guys start working with each other and start really interacting. We will really learn something when things go badly. How doesn't Tony treat people when things go wrong? How do obviously more sensitive guys with loud voices react if Tony gets on them? How does Tony react if guys push back against his Boomer antics? What happens if Tony's politics run into a guy like TAs politics head on? These are the types of things that could shatter this team quickly.

Why would they give him away until they find something better?

I suppose that is better than Tadahito.

I still am 100% against the hire, and haven't spent a dime on anything that would go back to the White Sox since it happened. I plan on continuing that until he is gone.
