July 29, 200718 yr I can't stop hearing all kinds of crazy rumors about the White Sox. One, totally unsubstantiated, is Ozzie Guillen will be out as soon as this season ends and that his replacement could be a big surprise to everybody—one of the most well-known managers in baseball. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines I'm assuming he means Tony. Why would these guys even write crap like that.
July 29, 200718 yr I read that this morning and thought nothing of it.. the man actually says that he's pulling it out of thin air.
July 29, 200718 yr most people think this is the end of LaRussa in St. Louis. JR knows the biggest mistake he made was listening to hawk and firing Tony in 1986. doubt it will happen, but I can understand why it is a rumor.
July 29, 200718 yr QUOTE(beautox @ Jul 29, 2007 -> 11:55 AM) Tom Kelly? Out of all the names mentioned, this is one I would support.

July 29, 200718 yr Hopefully this rumor is true and opens the door for Tom Kelly to swoop in and save our Sox.

July 30, 200718 yr Just on the hypothetical side, if LaRussa came back and managed I wonder if he would retain Cooper as his pitching coach or if he would bring Dave Duncan along with him. Hawk was talking some serious trash last season about Duncan, I can only imagine what he would or wouldnt say about him if he was with the Sox coaching staff
July 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 29, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) Hopefully this rumor is true and opens the door for Tom Kelly to swoop in and save our Sox. Tom Kelly lost the division for the Twins in 2001 by sticking with LaTroy Hawkins as the Twins closer until September. By that time, the door had been shut by the Indians. He'll be 58 next year, and I truly doubt that he'll ever leave the Twins organization.

I doubt it will happen as well, given that Tony is just a season removed from capturing a WS title with what was arguably the least-talented team to ever win a WS. Edited July 30, 200718 yr by WCSox
July 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(bad at best @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 01:20 PM) If Tony came would Hawk leave? I don't know, but I'll bet that Coop would. Hasn't Dave Duncan been Tony's right-hand man for some time now?
July 31, 200718 yr QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 05:39 PM) Sandy Alomar Jr. stepping in. Kenny trades minor league prospects for sandy alomar jr as manager and robbie alomar as bench coach...its the big july 31 surprise
