Probably waiting for the Cubs job to open up so he doesn't have to uproot his whole family. I don't think he is long for the org after this.

Oh he's certainly doing that. The second quote is pure spin IMO because he has to put on a unified front.

Spin Spin...

PR BS...

Except this would be the 'Blues Brother's 2000' version...

Nailed It!

The steroid era A's and Cards would like to remind you who their manager was.

Renteria was bad but likable. LaRussa is so very unlikable and I fear his old ways will make him bad too. This is SO stupid.

Tony WAS a winner. Past Tense.

Bingo. Sox were about to be a real destination, but Jerry just has to fuck it up.

Jerry just alienated more than a few of his most important players, FO staff, and potential FA. Un Fucking Believable.

The White Sox look really fucking stupid right now.

THIS RIGHT FUCKING HERE

LIVID

Fuck Jerry. I haven't the words to express how asinine ass backwards this move is.

Exactly.

I looked up the tweets yesterday. Immediately after the Sox announced that RR was gone, Nightengale tweeted that Hinch was a strong candidate. Later that afternoon Nightengale tweeted the LaRussa interest. After things had gone quiet durning the World Series, the day after the series ends Bruce LeVine tweets about LaRussa gauging interest in staff hires. Bruce doesn't exactly break Sox news that he isn't fed directly. I'm looking at who is putting out the info and wondering why. Dan Roan and a former Bear is some odd sourcing confirmation too.

This is my tinfoil hat hope. Did they feed this strange info to Bruce to gauge fan and media reaction? It's more than a smokescreen but not a conclusive signal for finalized hiring decision. The reaction sure isn't doing LaRussa any favors right now and and doesn't exactly reflect a healthy Sox front office if this hire is made.

No. TLR is pretty antithetical to the core of this team IMO. FA spending doesn't fix that.

You are not crazy. I would have rather kept RR and I think he is a terrible in-game manager. UGH.
