Win something?.... Willie Harris scored the winning run for the Chicago White Sox in Game 4 of the 2005 World Series, is from the same hometown as Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson.

What does winning have to do with where Harris grew up?

WHEN will it happen?

Absolutely nothing, I copied and pasted it from an article because I wasn't positive Harris had scored the winning run so I looked it up prior to posting.  I thought it was an interesting fact so I left it in.

Don't you understand that the next manager has to have his favorite color as purple and have a dog named Duke?

The Jackie Robinson thing is an interesting fact.  The swag thing isn't much of an attribute IMO.  We don't need a pal for the players...just a teacher.

For what it's worth I was told the Ron Washington interview went very well.

White Sox looking to infuse some youth into the managerial spot I see.

Sox have question marks at every position. The only way we can expect to compete for a ring is for everyone on the current roster to play to their full potential. We need career years out of Moncada, Robert, Jimenez, TA among others. For that to happen, we need a manager who can instill a winning culture and inspire 100% effort and performance (a Francona or Cora type). We also need leadership among the players to emerge (I like Abreu but am not convinced he is the a leader of men). As far as trades, I'd look to the Dodgers and see what it takes to get Lux...maybe in combo w/Bellinger and hope for a bounce back. I have no problems sending Giolito to the west coast as part of the package.

Noooooo

Now matter who they add it will still be the same sorry franchise. I wish a manager would really make a difference. It's just dressing up a pig. 

Franchises just seem to stay the same. Who was the last MLB owner that really made a difference versus how many ownership changes just didn't make any difference?

The group that owns the Dodgers now comes to mind that franchise was a joke under Fox as I recall.

Pretty much confirms Washington would be KW’s choice

So have they only interviewed Espada and Washington thus far, or Harris too? I haven’t seen much reported on these interviews…

It pains to admit this, but the Cubs.

I dunno man, cubs fans were pretty fuckin pissed off the last two years being forced back into another rebuild.  The tribune had similar cycles of spend big spend nothing, the difference is that Theo brought it home before he stepped out the back door

Hopefully as bench coach.

Pedro Grifol as well. Cairo is supposed to get one, just nothing confirmed as to if that's happened yet.

KENNY!

Edited October 16, 20223 yr by Chick Mercedes

I haven't read the whole thread.

So who do we want to be manager, then?

1. Espada

2. Beltran

3. Bochy

4. Grifol

5,432. Washington

6,749,530. Maddon

7,645,980,610. Shildt

So it will be Shildt

We thought it couldn't get worse than Tony but Hahn/KW/Jerry are determined to prove that wrong ?
