Hired!

If Coop, Steverson, Boston, McEwing, Hahn and Williams are still all on board what's really the difference?

He can recount Shields getting lit up 13-0 next year in Spanish?

Take that, Cubs.

I like the hire of Renteria. But I don't think it really matters if the rest of the goof troop is allowed to return.

Great, you kicked one clown out of the car. There is still 15 more of them left inside.

Better manager than Ventura. How can anyone complain?

Bet drunken Don Cooper is pissed about this. He now out of work forever at least MLB.

Ventura had to go, but this seems impossible to know right now.

Does this mean Sox get Joe Maddon in 2018?

I agree. Ventura has to go. You can't just lose every year and keep your job. I won't be thrilled with or upset about Renteria. He can write down a lineup as well as anyone. I hope the players can hit.

Joking aside, Robin really can't be that surprised, can he? Even if he would have had a winning record this season, why keep him?

We all pretty much figured this out with the hiring of RR as a bench coach.

However, there does seem to still be layers of disfunction above the manager position?

I initially read this as Rick "Raw Dog" Renteria.

This is a good move for the White Sox, but as others have said until Kenny is gone...not sure it matters a ton. He will get more out of the roster, but the roster still isn't playoff caliber.

Nice sentiment but that blog looks like it was written by a seventh-grader, and has absolutely nothing to substantiate it.

Until it actually happens, I will operate under the assumption that Kenny will still be in charge.

because they didn't take the time to find the best manager

Hell, you go through the interview process in case you find someone you might like to be a manager down the road.

Nice.

Fish stinks from the head down but at least they are up to the gills.

So, without the Google machine and thinking out loud here - Has anybody ever managed both Cubs and Sox before?

Closest is coaching. Bruce Kimm. Don't know if he took over a game for the Sox.

Don Kessinger played for the Cubs,managed Sox.

Same with LaRussa.

I think in the early 1900's the Sox had a former Cub as manager but I didn't use google.

The best Cubs manager,Frank Chance was also hired to manage the pale hose.

Hall of Famer Frank Chance was hired to manage the team for the 1924 but illness forced him to retire before managing any games
