Great hire for them.

Meanwhile we are still a clown show unprofessional organization.

Hire for Latin players being overplayed 

Watching the last two years sure doesn't show that.

It's shaping up to be Long or Ozzie, isn't it?

It sure seems that way

Plz long.

It’s hard for me to believe the Sox aren’t going to hire Long.  If it was going to be Ozzie, they would have announced it by now, right?  Or Washington, or Shildt, or anyone not associated with the Astros or Phillies.

Right?  Please?

Harold, with the interview being granted do you feel that JR will force KW/RH hand in trying to hire Ozzie?

Hell no. Ozzie embarrassed him a thousand too many times.  He doesn't want Ozzie managing his baseball team.

Ron Washington is still out there, I guess?

Grifol?

They only granted him an interview because of Reinsdorf's weird one way loyalty. Absolutely no one wants him to manage the team. 

No one wanted Tony, no one wanted Ventura.

I don't know but if those two are my options I'm taking the field.

That’s my point, Jerry does whatever the f*** he wants.

You're going to understand this soon I can feel it.

Who does Jerry want?  Quit making us guess. The manager will be whoever Jerry wants.

I don't know who he wants I only know who he doesn't want.

You keep saying he doesn't want Ozzie, right? If so thank god. 

What is happening

Is it possible Tony LaRussa made Sox fans dumber?

Every other team has filled their manager role except us.  The Sox have come out and have explicitly stated that Espada isn’t the guy.  Just feels like it has to be Long by default.  And given how much our positional guys underperformed last year, hiring an offensive oriented guy as manager makes some sense.

That would be Jerry, not TLR.

I hope it’s as simple as this.

Got another guy I wish would have come up: Chase Utley 

I think my total now is : granderson, beltre, yadi, utley

How about Long for Manager (to cure the offensive woes) and Washington as Bench Coach (to cure the defensive/fundamental woes)?
