I hope not. Retired numbers are one thing. Statues should be for legends. And I hate the fact that Fisk has one.

 

 

We should have 2 statues right now: Frank and Comiskey. Harold having a statue is a joke and Fisk is just silly, handing them out to very good/borderline great players that won't be getting into the hall just waters down the honor that comes with being immortalized in statue form.

 

Fully agree with you guys.

Fire Cora via text message with 2 games left in the season? Rediculous, what does it matter if he coaches these last two games honestly? And if you're going to fire someone, do it in person not through a text message. Unreal.

 

 

Is this text story a fact? Where was this reported?

 

 

I don't know if it's true or not. I just got home and have only read one article on it.

The other article just quotes Cowley as it's source. So it's just Joe.

 

I have a hard time believing it, but I suppose it is possible.

 

I think I read this one correctly:

 

Chris Rongey

Kenny also says he offered to vacate GM position for different job with #whitesox but that idea wasn't received well by ownership

That seems like the Williams - President, Hahn - GM scenario. I guess it wasn't in the cards afterall.

Paul Konerko might be the second-best hitter in Sox history.

Chuck Garfien shot that down on Twitter. Anything Cowley says not involving Ozzie is outright made up in all likelihood. Heck, if it's about Ozzie it STILL is made up often times.

I'm shocked that he a) offered it and b) it wasn't accepted. Damn, JR.

Mike Caruso being the best?

You hate that Fisk has one? He was one of the best catchers of all time, he's in the hall of fame. Or do you hate it because he only played 60% of his career with the White Sox?

 

Larry Bowa is praising KW on MLB now... I think he is looking to manage..

Ranger hinted on Facebook his loathing of a certain columnist. Didn't name Joe, but, pretty sure that is who he meant.

You don't deserve a statue if the hat on your HOF plaque has a different logo IMO.

Ranger is an ass, but Cowley is a far, far bigger ass. So I'm actually going to side with Ranger for once.

Fair enough. I disagree, but I can understand that perspective. He played less years with the Red Cubs, but he started his career there, and his most famous moment (the '75 series HR) happened there as well.

Ranger, knows where is bread is buttered.. He never states anything bad against the Sox even it is needed.

It's a real shame the focus isn't on Buehrle tonight

Good point. I hope he is back though, I still think that is likely to happen.

What I'd say is that you need to think about Fisk's meaning to the Sox. This was a moribund franchise that literally he helped revitalize. They meant more because they had Fisk.

 

Same reason I'd give Ozzie a statue...he did what no other manager could do for that org and finished the job.

I think Cooper being extended 4 years is a pretty good sign towards that happening.

Yeah. They'll find a way to keep Mark IMO. I'm not confident enough in that feeling that I won't be watching and having strong feelings tonight though.

I've spoken with Rongey personally and this is not the case with him as a person. He willingly fought me on many topics surrounding management and his opinions.

And that's why organizations retire numbers and the Sox put their faces on the left-centerfield wall.

I'm guessing he wasn't on the air when he spoke candidly with you though.

Did he sign that prior.. I must have missed that.

No, but I can tell you that he is 100 percent an Ozzie guy.

I couldn't be less surprised by that.
