IMO it's because sports teams are usually owned by business people who made a ton of money, so were very successful running other buisinesses, and its the only way they know how. But pro sports doesn't work that way, especially for winning. You have to take big gambles, you have to be prepared to lose lots of money at times Profits can't be that high on the priority list,if you really want to be a team that wins all the time. JR is fiscally conservative. That can work in other businesses, but it's not going to bring you titles in MLB.

For sure, but not someone who is going to go on the radio and bring more attention to the craziness of the White Sox manager. I think Ozzie has a perfect job on the pre and post game show. Low stress, probably makes a decent amount, and he is insightful and entertaining.

If Ozzie had a 1% chance of replacing LaRussa, it's out the window now. Even if they thought he might be the guy, this type of stuff, even though most of us find it entertaining, is not what they want.

Yeah, who would have guessed Robert would get hurt. Eloy would get hurt, Grandal would get hurt, Lynn would have a knew issue only 50 lbs overweight and a lifetime of pitching putting pressure on it, TA would get hurt, Engel would get hurt, Pollock would get hurt....you would almost have to think it happens every year not to be shocked..wait. If the Sox championship window is predicated on these players staying healthy, it's almost more crazy than it being predicated on each having a career year.

The thing is, teams failing always use other teams that failed but somehow turned it around as the example of the pace they are on. The problem is, the chances of crap like that happening all the time are zero. I am old enough to remember when the White Sox had a 2-0 lead over Boston in the 2005 Divison Series, ESPN saying the Red Sox had them right where they wanted them because they overcame a 3-0 deficit to the Yankees the year before. Teams below .500 at the midway point aren't like the 2021 Braves and win the WS. It's a pipedream to think this team is a WS contender at this point.

Tony is already yawning.

That would be a Bill Veeck move. He was so cheap he made Kessinger a player manager so he could save a salary, and made Ron Schuelet a pitching coach when he was injured and couldn't pitch anymore

There is a 99% chance if therr is any truth to this that it will be McEwing or Cairo. I would like something different, but either of those guys is an upgrade.

I actually think Joe Maddon would be good for this team for a couple of years. His strategy is questionable but he is the anti Larussa with everything else. They could try to have fun again.

He occasionally takes out the line up card.

I am the same way. But if he is gone at the break, why not get a Starr on it with these 6 games. The season can still be salvaged. Maybe not in 5 days.

If Hahn is as powerless as many want to believe, he isn't getting fired anytime soon. He does take a lot of heat for what could be others' mistakes.

I can't think of one game the last 2 seasons when the Sox won because of Tony LaRussa's genius. I can think of plenty of losses you could reasonably pin on him.

Just tell him there will be a financial windfall if they get rid of Tony, and JR will take his private jet to Cleveland to give Tony the news personally.

Youre right. If winning were important, they would go tell LaRussa to get lost in between games. Every postgame press conference, he's as sleepy as his players played that day. It's time JR, KW, and RH showed some life and did something.

Its such a boring team.

The White Sox want to get this game and loss wrapped up before General Hospital starts.

Games like this just put stuff in the bank for toughness later on.

Tony was waiting until he had 2 strikes.

And this game is OVA.

Ed Farmer used to say Buehrle pitched like his car was double parked on 35th St. Sox hitters now hit like that.

They way he has hit, it would really be a surprise if he made it through waivers. If McGuire has an option left, he is going to have to enjoy Charlotte.

LOL. They'll be ready for the golf course in early October.

Speaking of TA, anyone notice he grabs his nutbag a lot?

Tony can run out there looking like he has a full diaper,like when Abreu got hit last year.
