Dick Allen

They also hired his father as an assistant coach.

True, although it is interesting he's admitted to punching file cabinets because of LaRussas curious moves. Bringing LaRussa back was one of the most shortsighted moves in MLB history. It shortened the window. Hopefully it's not closed for good, but I imagine it's closed until he leaves.

I thought Vaughn has zero value, being a H 1B/DH and all. Why wouldn't you trade him if someone offered value?

When original board members die, they do not get replaced. It just gets smaller and smaller.

The weird thing is, with Allen Thomas, who was obviously the fall guy for all the leg injuries last year, they didn't used to have many leg injuries at all. Something must of changed, and whatever was done to try to correct it this year made it worse.

I was at the game yesterday. The Sox had a Cy Young type guy on the mound vs. a journeyman at best. I was so happy they won. And it was a squeaker to a very mediocre team. It's pretty pathetic. I had figured they would get it going eventually. I don't believe that anymore. They are just a mediocre team. It seems all the life has been sucked out of them.

They basically admit they, even with a full roster aren't good enough to win a championship. I heard on the telecast Saturday Steve saying how warm it was when the bats were clicking. If it has to be pushing 100 degrees for them to hit, how would that work out in October?

The Sox have an opportunity here for a fairly free look. If Tony quits or is asked to leave at the end of the season, he almost assuredly will be replaced by someone in house. That’s what they do. I’ll go with Cairo as the odds on favorite. Tony walks around with one shoulder higher than the other, tell people he is walking away for physical reasons, everyone will know it’s BS but who cares? Make Cairo the interim, see how the team reacts. If they get hot, you bring him back and everyone is happy. If he’s bad, you just saved yourself a mistake. At this point even JR has to know that if this team somehow gets really hot, it’s not going to be because of Tony. It won’t happen. It makes too much sense, and JR has chosen Tony over the team.

Tony's press conferences are a train wreck. He mumbles so much he's hard to understand. He did say there is only so much you can do.

Oh no, our Chuck and Bacon questioning bringing in Ruiz. Stoney is not going to be happy.

This is great.

If the Sox lose tomorrow the multiple championships roster will had a worse record than the rebuilding and ownership in turmoil, Orioles.

Cmon Steve chastise Jason for questioning the great La Russa.

Burger has barely a full season of games under his belt as a professional. I expect his defense to improve.

The last time the Yankees were no hit by just one guy was 1958.

Can someone tell me why Reese McGuire is the one White Sox who gets a 3-0 green light. I have no problem with most players getting them, but sub .600 OPS guys? I hope he missed a sign.

True, but NBA used to play 3 in 4 nights, sometimes 4 in 5 nights, flew commercial, yet no load management. Michael Jodan used to play 30+ minutes in exhibition games because many paid a lot to see him. The Bulls would get skewered for doing that today. I think these guys are such specimens these days and are too tight.

Amazing a White Sox announcer taunting fans for bailing on an underperforming team. And making changes is one thing all fan bases call for when the team is failing. Only losing organizations refuse to change when what they are doing isn’t working.

You can tell TA is still a little gimpy, although he made an incredible play last night in the hole look routine. I understand why he is sitting day after night, especially when the field is going to be a little damp.

What I don’t understand is the manager doesn’t think he’s good enough to start over Leury, doesn’t think he’s good enough to pinch hit against a lefty for Sheets, but 15 hours later he’s a leadoff man. I wish Stone would read this. It’s fucked up, and we don’t need the Stone Blessing for Baseball Genius to see it. Any idiot could.

The last calendar year, this "multiple championships" roster with a HOF baseball person making out the line up card, is slightly better than .500. This has been going on for a long while, yet crickets from upstairs.

I wish some sportswriter would ask Hahn how he, and IMO correctly, determined Renteria wasn't going to lead this team to where it wanted to be, can watch this everyday and still cling to hope they have the right guy. They downgraded. I have never been a LaRussa fan, but I figured he would at least be better than Reneria running a bullpen. That has proven to be wrong. And almost every game he makes some decision against all norms in order to try to be smarter than everyone else, that doesn't work. There isn't a manager alive who if he was trying to win last night, wouldn't have pinch hit for Sheets in the 8th. Except one. Fire him. Fire the GM who had a terrible offseason, and hire someone who realizes baseball isn't brain surgery. The sooner Tony goes home, the better the chances you can salvage something this season.

LaRussa should have retired after last season. It was clear he was in a fog. Hahn did him no favors, making this roster with a goal of multiple championships, that was short last seaon, even shorter. The house needs a full cleaning.

Total BS. The only guy with a hit on deck, a potential tying run and LaLoser gives up.

Tony white flagging. Not pinch hitting here should be fireable.
