October 29, 20205 yr It’s gotta be hinch at this point... we never make the move when there’s this much smoke
October 29, 20205 yr I've been holding out hope the "JR asked La Russa to put his name other there to make hiring Hinch seem more palatable" smokescreen is true, but the longer this goes on the more concerned I am. TLR is getting absolutely roasted online, having old demons like drunk driving brought up, called out for being a racist, etc., and all around having his name dragged through the mud. If this was a ruse, one or both of JR/TLR would've seen it's done it's job by now and politely said he's graciously turned it down or whatever. Doing a favor for a friend is one thing. Continuing to get excoriated just to give a little cover seems increasingly unlikely at this point.

I do have a friend named Tim down here in Saint Louis that usually gets way too drunk on Sunday's and sometimes throws up all over the bar. I have not been able to reach him yet for his opinion. Stay tuned.
October 29, 20205 yr The TLR dumpster fire has even made it to the big baseball twitter accounts. Edited October 29, 20205 yr by DirtySox

That's why I'm still shocked by the level of hatred on this board (even though I don't want them to hire TLR myself). The mistake wasn't firing LaRussa. It was hiring Harrelson.

October 29, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, ScooterMcGee said: Scott Merkin: "One thing I've learned about the White Sox over the past two decades is the “news” that becomes front and center about the team without confirmation usually doesn't happen." I don't think TLR is getting hired. I’m 99.9% certain A.J. Hinch will be announced as our next manager by next Friday.

A) Guillen = quitter B) Hinch = cheater C) La Russer = old douche Give me option B of those three options

October 29, 20205 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: A) Guillen = quitter B) Hinch = cheater C) La Russer = old douche Give me option B of those three options C is also a cheater.
October 29, 20205 yr They should have never fired Renteria. This whole thing is a dumpster fire right now. Embarrassing.

October 29, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: That has to be a fake. Almost definitely, no reason for a FA not associated with a team to comment on that team rumored to hire a manager. I clarified it's probably a Photoshop in an edit.
