That's never gonna get old.

Your opinion is completely discounted for a few months.

Youre too far in to think clearly

What would your take be on the always overlooked Walter Alston?

Good call. He was the LaRussa of his time.

that Blue Jays-Rangers series would have been epic

Fair enough, but I thought the move to yank Carp was bad, before it even happened...and I was thinking pretty clearly at that time.

Just announced his retirement.

Reinsdouche ought to get a grant from the State to hire LaRussa as a consultant to Crazed Kenny.

Rangers? They have to be going nuts down there thinking they are just one piece away from winning it all....and Michael Young be damned.

It was the Rangers pitching that shit the bed in the WS.

Defense was worse.

Still can't believe Cruz did not make the catch to win game 6 in the 9th. How do you not come up with that?

Yeah, but Texas fans aren't going to want to pay higher ticket prices for questionable FA pitchers coming to a launching pad of a home stadium OR for better(but difficult to qualify-for Texans) defense. I mean(with apologies to HH), Texas fans being Texans.....well, you know

Shouldnt have even been in the game.

They've replaced him for defense before. When is a better time for a defensive replacement than bottom of the 9th of a World Series clinching game with a 2 run lead?

Oh i dunno...Ogando was pretty bad...

...fuck, Holliday hit well off him...

Hadn't he also just hurt his groin in his prior AB?

Jerry Reinsdorf hasn’t yet talked to Tony La Russa about joining the White Sox front office, but confirmed his interest to the Tribune.

Asked if he would like to work again with La Russa, Reinsdorf had a quick answer.

La Russa, who announced his retirement as a manager on Monday, said he would not take a managerial or general manager’s position but has previously expressed an interest in remaining in baseball as a special advisor. He may have an offer waiting with the White Sox.

“We really haven’t discussed it,’’ Reinsdorf said. “We’ve talked off and on about what he might do when he in the future but we haven’t talked about anything specific. I’m sure that now that he’s available he’s going to get a lot of opportunities, chances to do a lot of things inside the game. I just want him to do what’s in his best interest, what’s best for him.’’

Reinsdorf has said that firing La Russa in 1986 was his biggest mistake in sports. He and La Russa have remained close friends – perhaps partly because Reinsdorf brokered La Russa’s move from the White Sox to the Oakland A’s – and Reinsdorf said La Russa tipped him off that he was going to retire after the just-completed World Series.

Reinsdorf traveled to St. Louis to watch Game 7 last Friday.

“That was a wonderful feeling,’’ Reinsdorf said. “I think I got as much pleasure from him winning as I would have if (the White Sox) won. I think so much of the man. I truly love the man. He’s just an incredible human being.’’

La Russa’s potential role for the White Sox could be to tutor rookie manager Robin Ventura, provide analysis on players and potential moves for general manager Ken Williams and assistant GM Rick Hahn and to assist with instruction in the farm system

welp, it took less than 12 hours for ESPN to whip up a highlight-laden retrospective piece on tony la russa narrated by their #1 "awww shucks isn't baseball amazing" midget, tim kurkjian.

holy fucking shit do i hate tim kurkjian... take him and his contrived "gee golly isn't baseball awesome" attitude and shove them up the ass of some loser waiting outside of the apple store for a new iphone, as far as i'm concerned.
