In five years: "The Whitesox announce their 39th manager is Ron Karkovice."

Pretty odd that they brought him back as special advisor to director of player development in early July and now he's the fucking manager.


My dad will buy season tickets if that's the case.

is this akin to the Quade selection in that they know they're probably not going to be too good the next few years so they figure might as well select a sacrificial lamb who at least will generate some buzz amongst the meatballs and sell a few tickets?

Who did Quade sell tickets to?


more the sacrificial lamb part was my point

just saying Ventura will have the added bonus that he'll sell tickets. point being they're not going to spend $$ to get a good manager if they're going to suck anyway

It's an "outside the box" move, that's for sure.

To be honest, I don't think managers mean much and I like Ventura. As long as you know the situational things to do you are as good as just about anyone.


I am pretty sure if someone wanted to take the time to do so they would find some of your witty sarcastic remarks regarding the Cubs hiring Quade, but yet you are alright with Ventura. Nice work Brick :lol:

The fact that Kenny trusts him makes me skeptical.

I agree and I can't imagine he will waste as many outs as his predecessor.

ventura is a respected man and very good former player and a smart player at that, quade was a fucking turd who spent 3 decades in the the minors.

From what I remember, my major thought was that why was Sandberg any worse of a hire.

This could only be the beginning...Frank Thomas could be this team's new hitting coach and has reportedly expressed interest along those lines.

Everybody from the '93 club will be a coach!
