October 29, 20205 yr No one is going to sign for less money just for the chance to play for Tony, and no one isn’t going to not take JRs money if it’s the best offer out there because Tony is in the dugout. Tony isn’t going to be the difference between being good and being bad. He may be the difference between being good and being great. I think you have to question his energy. You would think at the press conference he would be about as fired up as can be, but it seemed like he was going to fall asleep a few times while answering questions the way the White Sox wanted him to answer them. I question what will happen by August. He is old, and it isn’t an easy job. It will be interesting to see the make up of the staff.

October 29, 20205 yr OK, I'm over it. Just win. It'd be a great story for the books, if TLR comes back and gets 1 more run to a ring. So be it, lets get a RFer, and get the rotation stable.
October 29, 20205 yr Hahn clearly didn’t seem all in when discussing the “consensus” decision to hire this has been.

This is a check on him and possibly a predicate for sending him packing. I happen to like the chess move. Check. Now wait for the next move. Enough of the damn ageism; jesus christ, it's science. As you age into your 70's and 80's you have cognitive decline. Take it up with neurologists; it's not ageism to cite that age degrades cognition.

Or you could just root for them as players. Players have as much right as anyone to express themselves. Why is it ok for major corporations to flood our national airwaves with politics, yet some guy playing baseball should be quiet? If the guy is right, left, middle or whatever I don't care. I support my players period. I am left of center on most issues and would support like hell Curt Shilling had he been on the White Sox. That's where it ends for me, but I'd never say Curt shouldn't speak his mind. This idea where "entertainers" shouldn't speak out is fascist thinking. So since I am against that ideology I support anyone's right to speak their politics no matter their profession. I am a big boy, I can deal with Curt's right wing ramblings and am able to survive. It's not really that hard.

I wouldn't trust someone like Larussa to drive me to work everyday for the duration of his contract, why the fff should I trust him to run a team. People like you are why I lost my license. Thanks.

October 29, 20205 yr By the way, I love that everyone loves Tim now - MY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, although I hope he doesn't comment to this post and say "I'm not your guy, buddy" - but I won't forget many here wanted him traded or moved off positions. No one cared about Timmy then, but for me and CWS and maybe a few others! I welcome you all onto the "what does tim want, that's what I want" wagon, but just know you're arriving late and youre not calling the shots. Edited October 29, 20205 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

October 29, 20205 yr Just now, Vulture said: Hopefully the degradation of cognition is offset by the advancement of wisdom Good point.
October 29, 20205 yr Joel Sherman had a interesting thought. He said for 34 years firing TL has bothered JR so much, that now he brings him back. But is the 76 year old TL the same manager as the 42 year old version? He is well into the losing brain cells portion of life. Has not managed the last 9 seasons. To think he is the same guy he was when he last made out a line up card might be reached.
