I would also like to know why he thinks voter suppression is a great thing.

"The media likes to blame my husband for his behavior" -Melania Trump So unfair.

Tony La Russa named Manager
Tony LaRussa and Steve Stone both have a huge need to be the smartest guy in the room even if they are not. I think it will lead to a pretty spectacular feud some day.

2020 Election Thoughts
Principles? Trump? The funny thing is, with all his projections, his biggest is when he calls people RINOs. He might be the biggest RINO who has ever lived. At least the republican you are describing.

2020 Election Thoughts
Things I learned Biden will be getting rid of if elected. You might want to keep this in mind when you go to vote. Suburbs Churches air conditioning heat and the ability to watch TV if there is no wind.

White Sox coaching staff announced (List in first post)
That makes sense. I saw an interview with Steve Phillips the other day. He mentioned he thought Hasler would stay in the bullpen and said in house hire likely and he mentioned Teaford. He was the first one on Oquendo. He also mentioned McGwire as a possible hitting coach but he really wants to watch his sons play. and thought it was a longshot.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
When Trump was in the hospital and needed to consult for his personal issue, he called Fauci, not Atlas. This reality show BS needs to end. People are dying.

Less than a minute a run and then a two yard pass to keep the clock running. They need to Renteria Nagy.

Foles really sucks.

Tony La Russa named Manager
You have to feel bad for Nick Capra. He loses his job because RR can't run a bullpen., or make out a line up. And on top of that, RR didn't hire him. Unlike TLR, RR didn't select his coaches.

I bet Jose Oquendo is coaching 3b.

Tony has had feuds with so many players.

I’m really hoping they get Deni as well.

Tony La Russa named Manager
In 1989 five players in the AL hit 30 homers. And he had Rickey Henderson.

Tony La Russa named Manager
Of Tony’s 3 titles, his first one was an Oakland team that probably had an historically great roster. He also didn’t win with that roster several times. His second one was with a team that won 83 games. His third was a WC team back when being a WC wasn’t as much of a disadvantage in the playoffs it is now. As someone who saw it, if Soxtalk was around when Hawk waxed him, there would have been joy on this board. He really isn’t as spectacular as he has been portrayed.

I don’t think so at all. They knew he would be asked about it just by searching the Internet the day before. I would bet he was prepped.

Tony La Russa named Manager
He was asked, and he gave an answer that seemed crafted by the White Sox PR staff.

But you can call guys who played for Hinch. The guys that played for LaRussa are retired or dead.

Maybe JR should bring back Pippen and Jordan. The game is different today. The players are different. TLR is the proverbial square peg into a round hole IMO,and even if he could somehow overcome that, 76 year olds rarely change their ways, there is little chance he could manage the team through their window. If he was gassed in 2011, what makes him full of energy at 76 nine years later?

Maybe they could talk Bochy into being the bench coach. Fairly stress free gig, he can manage on day games after night games, and various others, and be on call in case Tony has cardiac arrest.

Tony La Russa named Manager
I don’t know. If anything DK was one guy to use to go around speaking to him too soon. And maybe he talked him up among his teammates. They probably asked him to gauge his interest, and probably found it to be pretty high. Steve Stone was in contact with him as well, and if you read his early tweets, he also thought Hinch was the hire. RH admitted to be being thrown for a loop when JR called LaRussa and LaRussa was interested, thus ending anyone else’s candidacy.

Yolmer claimed by Baltimore
He will agree to a really cheap contract, or wind up non tendered.

One thing we will never know but would be fascinating to know is all about the consensus RH mentions between himself, KW, and JR. If JR comes up with a bad idea, do they have no problem telling him they think it is stupid or do they placate him because, after all, he does sign their checks. With this, it seems their balls were cut off. Once JR called LaRussa and he said he was interested, there were no oher real candidates until he said no thanks. At least give yourselves some options.
