Tony returning is not good for the health of any of us.

Sounds like a sick fantasy many Sox fans are trying to will into reality.

These two posts belong together. This team has been disinterested garbage for the last 200 games with Tony running it. They have barely been .500, and have played disinterested and fundamentally garbage baseball. The jump in energy in the last week is shocking after seeing the previous year and a half. Tony LaRussa has been an unmitigated disaster for the Chicago White Sox. Literally every worst case scenario possible has happened in the last two seasons under his watch.

Now do the team since Hahn took over.

The team that he got to the playoffs before Tony got here and was expected to blow away the division and go to the playoffs for the third year in a row? That one? Sure. I am sure Tony had nothing to do with the team self-destructing.

My point is if you think the failings of this org fall squarely on the shoulders of TLR, you're ignoring a lot of other factors.
September 8, 20223 yr Someone needs to talk with his doctors and explain how it’s bad for his health returning. This guy is like a cockroach and won’t go away. On top of that the Chicago media is going to be extra soft asking him questions when he returns….not going to elevate his bp asking simple questions like why the hell you walk batters on 0-2 counts

He's already in the HOF. Best thing for JR to do is let him retire with his dignity still in tact and not become part of the circus again or worse.

September 8, 20223 yr If the Sox players can’t stay motivated to win the next four weeks with or without Tony, then screw all of them. Sure he may make stupid mistakes that lead to losses, but if the “mojo” is lost because Grandpa is back, then they’re a mentally weak team that isn’t making the ALCS anyway. Just go win games. Play good baseball for yourselves.

You're absolutely right. We're hoping they all go away. The fact that TLR is already gone gives us hope the rest will follow.

Play good baseball for yourselves. I'm not sure it's that easy. I am in a very pressure-filled business. When I let that pressure get to me and transmit it to my team, it hurts everyone's performance. People get tight. When I stay relaxed and confident, the team performs better. If TLR is gripping it because he wants to win so badly and that translates to the players, I think people will play tighter and it will make them worse. But, then again, I'm not in sports, so maybe it's different.

With 4 weeks left, all this talent, and having to be 3 games better the Guardians, they should be pumped to show up everyday to win and thank god they’re in a shitty division that will give them a home playoff series if they finish with the 7th best record in the AL.

It's too bad that we have a leashed media in the city, because there is a story there. NO ONE in this organization is willing to stand in front of a camera and talk about Tony. It's just bizarre. Though the old saying about saying nothing still saying a lot comes to mind.
