There's managers and then there's overManagers. Managers are becoming extinct so 40 years experience doesn't mean squat to the organizations that move needles.
What you need today is an expendable line of bullpen pitchers that throw 95+ and you're golden. Use them up, throw them away, get some more. Hitting is easier. Walk and hit homeruns.

Oh, and I guess stealing bases is allowable now. Yay baseball.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

The bolded is one of the four horseman of the death of baseball.

It’s that, Jerry Reinsdorf, innings limits and Jerry Reinsdorf.

Without Jim Thompson and Michael Jordan, Reinsdorf would be a short footnote in Chicago sports history. I used to give credit to the guy, but I see now what he's worth in a stand alone position. Nothing. Just a guy.

Just a guy with 7 rings.

The fact that he should have sold in 2009 doesn't make the rest of it go away.

You'll get Sizemore and you'll like it

could have just kept the last goof, since next year is another lost one.

I do agree with USA that there are some interesting arms on the way up, but even those are going to take a couple of years getting knocked around

I hope we see another owner in Chicago who gets lucky 7 times and provides championships. I'll even take 15 extra years of not winning championships in trade though I'd rather not.

Buck Showalter has reportedly expressed interest in becoming the next manager of the Chicago White Sox.

During a recent live chat, The Athletic's Keith Law (h/t Joe Binder of SoxOn35th.com) wrote that Showalter is "angling" for the managerial job in Chicago.

The 68-year-old Showalter has spent 22 years as an MLB manager with the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets, but the White Sox would perhaps be his toughest job yet since they are coming off a 2024 season that saw them lose an MLB-record 121 games.

Over the course of his managerial career, Showalter has shown a penchant for helping turn teams around, posting an overall record of 1,727-1,665 with six playoff appearances.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

They could use an ass kicker.

I have zero expectations for this franchise, so sure, why not hire another senior citizen willing to take a low paying gig to avoid having to spend his golden years with family?

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Jerry needed the GOAT in any sport to win 6 and almost lost him because he didn't want to pay Jordan.

As compared to all the other owners who won 6 titles in a specific sport who did it without one of the greatest players ever. Care to list off all those owners?

There's the technical issue between acquiring one of the greatest players ever or being gifted one of the greatest players ever. 6 titles huh? Red Auerbach. Halas. Kraft. Buss. Probably a couple more, I dunno. You proudly put Reinsdorf in that crowd? I guess you could. You should. Go ahead.

I'm fine if you think all of those guys are better than Reinsdorf but it's a small list who have 6 rings in one sport, and Kraft seems to be having some trouble with Tom Brady too.

There are a lot of valid criticisms of Reindsdorf especially after 2009 when both his teams fell off a cliff but you can't just waive away 7 titles like they don't count. We don't act like Jordan sucked because of the Wizard years either.

I have no problem saying that Robert Kraft is a better owner than Reinsdorf. No need to act like I'm saying Reinsdorf is the GOAT.

Just saying, 7 rings is still 7 rings. It's not like the guy who sold the teams that would end up winning 7 rings knew it was going to happen either.
