Sox hire LaRussa

That is all! LMAO

Short term solution to a long term team.

Do they have a wine fridge in that locker room?

They're putting it next to the steroids machine.

Really disappointing.

Damn Boomers just won't let go.

Another Great Chicago Management hire

I think the Sox think this is like college where if your roommate dies you get all A's.

If your manager dies in the dugout, you get to go automatically past the 1st round of the playoffs.

He is a good manager overall, but Bobby Knight was a good basketball coach. I wouldn't hire him now.

That said, he's not even in the top 5 worst managers of my lifetime- Bevington, Manuel, Ventura, probably Renteria and anyone pre LaRussa.

You can't make this shit up-

White Sox management knew about it and hired him anyway.

Genius!!

Did they get hiring advice from the McCaskeys? This has all the makings of the worst Sox hire of our lifetime.

At least it wasn't Ozzie right?

The guy has a drinking problem, is 76, and that's the road they want to go down? As a Cubs fan, I'm excited for the White Sox!

Reinsdorf wanted him. I don't see Tony being around very long.

This is the part I really don't understand. Seems like it was a reach to hire him to begin with, then you add the DUI as the cherry on top of the WTF sundae. It's obviously as simple as "Reinsdorf wanted him, so it shall be done".

I don't think anyone else in the organization had a voice in this hire from what I read.

Tony tried to use his HOF credentials to get out of his 2nd DUI.

The guy's a douche bag. Always has been.

Remember dumbass Reinsdorf left that fat f--- take apart the greatest team in NBA History and they have never recovered. This may have the making of the same path. Can we get Mark Cuban to but the Sox please!!

Hard, hard pass on that one.

How's that decision to hold on to Babe Ruth, I mean, Kyle Schwarber instead of trading him for pitching help working out for you guys?

haha...not very good. Epstein got out at the right time. I saw a video on twitter yesterday where a guy is singing a song and he's comparing the 85 Bears to the current Cubs. Man, was it spot on.

Oof.

Out with a whimper. So disappointing. Tony should have managed for home field advantage those last 6 weeks.

Yaz goes opposite field! Sox still in the fight!
