Translation: "I was looking for a cheap yes man"

 

Your theory's correct but Jesus Age Christ, when the hell did Robin EVER express any interest in managing? And wouldnt Dave Martinez have come at the same cheap price?

I really think I'm gonna go break something...you have got to be s***tin' me?!? WTF happened to the interview process?!?

He was one of my favorite players.

 

 

This screams of ownership micro-managing more than anything. How is Robin qualified to do this.

Has Robin Ventura coached anything?

 

 

uh....oh..... is about all I can say about this move.

Starting to process this....on the surface, this move sucks.

 

5pm conference call. Doubt it will be carried live.

KW: “I wanted someone who met very specific criteria centered around his leadership abilities. Robin Ventura was that man. "

 

 

He wanted THE Robin Ventura.

 

Can he expected to be able to handle a bullpen? Or, does Cooper get a lot of control?

I'll reserve judgement BUUUUUUT this is such a White Sox move it's ridiculous.

He's got as much of a motivating personality as Harold Baines and similar experience managing as Dan Pasqua.

I would assume Martinez would as well.

 

Does Ventura have any credentials at all other than playing 3B for the White Sox?

 

His bench coach will be interesting. I am guessing Buddy Bell.

Sox need to sell some tickets. Maybe Frank will be back in some capacity.

Anybody that buys a ticket or goes to a game for the manger is a moron.

 

Why not give the job to Cooper?

well, we certainly know the rangers are going to kick our ass now.

LOL! At least we don't have that dumba$$ Guillen and worthless Walker anymore! Right guys!

 

He's got as much of a motivating personality as Harold Baines and similar experience managing as Dan Pasqua.

 

This. Kenny's new hand puppet. Jesus Christ I wish they would have just cleaned house!

f*** you Kenny! and f*** you Jerry!

Hopefully he doesn't charge any mounds.

I'm stunned.

 

One of my all-time favorite players, but this is not a good hire.

Somewhere Ozzie's laughing...

and Dave Martinez and Sandy Alomar just said WTF!?!?

From World Champions to a laughing stock in the blink of an eye.

Terrible.

Hopefully he doesn't charge any mounds.

 

I'm comfortable with my zinger.

Jerk. You posted it as I was typing.

Well there was that one tweet saying a darkhorse candidate had KW's attention.

Screw experience if he knows the game. Plenty of experienced managers make the same ass-headed moves game in and game out.

I don't dislike this. I'm biased though because I have a friend who has been around Ventura a bit and have heard countless stories about how great of a guy he is.

He was one of my favorite players.

Honestly, what qualifications do you really need to be a baseball manager? This isn't the NFL or NBA.
