Avi? FUK NO

Challenge ... The Ricketts family net worth is >$5B, whether they are Comiskey-esque miserly or not, is a a different question. The point I was making, is that the Reinsdorfs didn't make a fortune and bring it to ownership, they are wealthy on paper because of smart investments in the teams in the early 80s. If the team stays in the family, nothing will change.

Reinsdorf family has wealth because of their excellent investments in the Bulls and White Sox (aka paper billionaires) -- not coming to the table with huge fortunes of liquid wealth to be spent on a team as a tax write-off ... Unless the franchise is sold to someone in the Ricketts/Cohen mold, will always be run as a business, not a vanity title-seeking project.

Ok, so if I grant you that managers don't have dramatic impact on a franchise winning over the long-term, will you grant that multiple boneheaded managerial decisions can have a very negative impact in a 5 game series?

Have you watched Tony La Russa?

Did you watch the ALDS??? NFW ... of the divisional teams, White Sox dead last

Lot of parking $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/2021-mlb-playoffs-winners-and-losers-of-alds-and-nlds-including-under-the-radar-red-sox-and-christian-yelich/ Top of the list? You guessed it! Loser: Tony La Russa Turning to baseball's other Sox, the ALDS is the kind of series the White Sox were supposed to win when they made a change at manager over the winter, dumping Rick Renteria in favor of Tony La Russa. That didn't work out. Instead La Russa made some questionable decisions with his bullpen, and ended his first year back in Chicago by accusing the Astros of intentionally plunking José Abreu. A manager can do only so much to a team's chances, good or bad, during a four-game stretch. But there's no real reason to think Renteria would have fared worse Universally accepted that Tony La Russa did a horrible job in the ALDS and the season ... Management reaction? Jerry's ego matters more than winning, the players, and the fans ...

Because he's offered a much better job, like any executive would

LOL. When in the history of this organization has that ever happened?!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'll take Scherzer, welcome back Semien, and pray for a new manager. That is all I want for Christmas.

Thank you SoxTalk for 2021!

2005 had the 'it' factor ... this team has the shit factor. Needs a lot of work

One can only hope this means Tony will not be back

We're stuck with him

Because they're managed by a corpse

Hussle, defense, attitude, intensity. Everything we don't have (and starting pitching)
