Remember when some guy on here threw a tantrum and announced that he was becoming a Padres fan when the Machado news broke? Good times.

Who has been back here plenty of times..

Maybe the Bears will bring back Ditka. He's old and ornery like LaRussa, and obnoxious with a ring, like Ozzie.  

You’re telling me casual Bears fan wouldn’t be overly excited about a Ditka reunion?  Chicago loves their “legends” for better or worse.

Nevermind Orlando, I went back and read your post from 2 hours ago where you said it’s your twitter account.

Yup!

Maybe I missed it but Steve Stone seems to be missing today. 

Anybody know- Does he drink during the games or just in the car? I heard he is asking for a new McCuddy's as part of his package.

Read that teams are going to video services in lieu of site scouts. Also only one square of tissue for each bathroom visit. Save the Earth.

Larussa isn’t a Chicago legend though.

Who was that?

I am pretty disappointed if this is the hire, but I'm not despondent nor do I think this will be so detrimental that the team will not recover.  I just think that right now they should be hiring a guy theoretically for 5-10 years looking forward to come along with the team.  In five years Tony is 81, in 10 he is 86.   That's pretty old to be relating to these kids every day

Always knew you were one of the smart ones!

There was a ton of us(myself included) who were throwing temper tantrums during that time.  I, however, know I could never stop being a fan of this stupid organization otherwise I would have a long time ago.

That's what we love about him, he has a keen mathematical mind.

I'm pretty sure everyone who didn't think Machado was overrated was irate. 

If they go TLR with Jerry opening up the wallet this off-season I'm ok with it. Let's be honest, neither Jerry or TLR have that many good years left in them. 

Maybe we can meet in the middle with JR and hire Thome. I'd run through a brick wall for that guy (well I probably couldn't run through it)

I know it’s not the end of the day yet but all of a sudden it’s become silent. ?

They tweeted one minute apart. It's fate

Agreed!  Let's just hope this is a lot of fluff before a much more realistic new manager is named.

TLR certainly wouldn't be my choice, but IDGAF who manages this team if the Sox go out and sign what they need to sign. 

Realistically, all of the top names have some warts.  No matter who they hire, a portion of the fanbase will be irate.  IMHO, pretty much anybody is better than Ricky.  I do worry about how TLR would relate to the Sox roster, but these guys are professionals and need to go out and do their job no matter who their manager is.

I have a feeling that Jerry has more good years left in him than LaRussa. In any event, I am not okay with LaRussa.

No way in hell. He is probably a Depends guy.

Have to imagine this is him speculating. Can’t see the Sox announcing this without doing due diligence on Hinch, Cora or any coaches they were not able to interview due to the postseason. 

Briggs could be referring to Ozzie?    Wouldn’t that be awesome? ???
