I wish Biden was as far left as you think, I would've actually voted for him if so

2020 Election Thoughts
I wouldn't even say he has done the bolded. Nothing about Joe Biden suggests he's a leftist/socialist, as you said. It almost feels like the Trump campaign expected to run against Bernie Sanders, was surprised when they didn't, and was too lazy to change the gameplan

Tony La Russa named Manager
The name thing is even weirder now after his interview this morning. I really hope he reaches out to them by the end of the week

Thanks for sharing. We're lucky to have Fegan- Buncho Roster Moves: Edwin & GIO gone, Leury Back, others
Second part of that tweet is interesting. I don't think Brantley is a good fit (not sure if he can play RF anymore) and Morton allegedly wants to stay east or retire, but obviously he named them for a reason- Tony La Russa named Manager
I don’t buy his tweets as much as I used to, but that one is just regurgitating what Passan and La Russa said- Tony La Russa named Manager
Isn't it interesting how the ones who lecture you about respect are often the least respectful people you'll ever encounter?- Tony La Russa named Manager
It already has- Tony La Russa named Manager
Also mentions that players are having a tough time getting past his comments on protests. So that's great- Tony La Russa named Manager
For those wondering about the lack of player support on social media, Evan Marshall "liked" this tweet https://twitter.com/emarsh31/likes- Tony La Russa named Manager
And others believe that protesting racial injustice should transcend politics as well. Which brings us back to the original point: forced patriotism at sporting events might not be the best idea- Tony La Russa named Manager
Obviously I think he'll know the roster by the time there are games, but it seemed weird to me that the only player he named in an hour was Tim Anderson- Tony La Russa named Manager
Yes. I think at least one of Lynn, Wainwright (FA), and Yadier Molina (FA) will be on the team next year- Tony La Russa named Manager
One more thing I'll add since I just listened to his conference. TLR mentioned that he places a premium on putting the ball in play, hates striking out, and thinks you still need to "play for one run" (bunt) at times. How do we think he would line up the 2020 Sox? I'd guess: 1. Madrigal 2. Anderson 3. Abreu 4. Moncada 5. Jimenez 6. Encarnacion/McCann (DH) 7. Grandal 8. Robert 9. Mazara/Engel (I would hate this but it seems to match his philosophy better)- Tony La Russa named Manager
Based on his press conference, you just get the idea that he doesn't even know the team that well. I don't mean knowing them personally, I mean literally knowing who is on the roster. Hopefully he gets in contact with them all over the coming days- Tony La Russa named Manager
What if we were supportive of the Abreu deal and dislike the La Russa hiring? I get your point but one is way worse than the other, IMO- Tony La Russa named Manager
- White Sox sign Tim Beckham

Well if we don’t hire TLR, I’d recommend you learn to like him- Tony La Russa named Manager
Stroman likes a LOT of tweets, you have to scroll a lot. They’re all there- Tony La Russa named Manager
I don’t know what you’re looking at, it’s all there for me- Pro Tony La Russa Hiring Poster Here
Not true, 7 players knelt including Anderson, Abreu, Jimenez, Robert, and Fry- Tony La Russa named Manager
I think the disconnect here is that TLR has literally said that any player who kneels during the anthem will get sent into the clubhouse. That's a lot different from a simple disagreement because it would lead to an unnecessary and avoidable fiasco - Tony La Russa named Manager
