November 9, 2020: Hire of the Century

posted in: White Sox | 0

Well look who’s back in the news White Sox fans… Yep, their 90 year old manager was pulled over for a DUI the day before the Sox hired him. Of course the Sox didn’t say anything, now it comes out, and now they look like donkeys. Don’t they know shit floats? They certainly could have gotten ahead of this thing, but at the end of the day, this hiring, the treatment of this event right before the hiring, shows that they do not give two shits about what the fans think. They’re going to do what they’re going to do… good luck!

It’s easy to sit back as a Cubs fans and watch all this develop. Who gives a shit about the DUI honestly? Yes, it could have been managed better by the Sox, and yes, can’t believe somebody that old is still out there getting tanked up and driving, but who hasn’t had a DUI, or SHOULD have had a DUI at some point in their lives? Haha… It doesn’t make it OK by any means, I’m just saying. Sure, you can use this as a really recent example of a bad judgment call by somebody who will be making a lot of judgment calls this upcoming season, unless of course he’s going to use analytics 100% of the time… haha. The Sox are getting roasted for it; I see many fans up in arms. Nothing is going to change. Tony LaRussa is your White Sox manager; get used to it.

Look, you got Luis Robert… excuse me, Gold Glove winner Luis Robert. Yes, he came up short in the Rookie of the Year voting, but you see what you got there… everybody does. You have a manager of the year candidate…. oh wait… can you imagine if he wins it? Haha… the good news just keeps rolling in for the Sox.

I get it though, trust me. You have a team that has been built to win for a good number of years; you want to do everything possible not to F this up. Then you make a move that everybody thinks you messed up; I’d be losing my shit too. Still, he hasn’t managed one game yet; he hasn’t talked to Tim Anderson yet either from what I hear… read into that what you may. From talking to a buddy, sounds like AJ Pierzynski may be the bench coach… will that make you happy? And speaking about an alternate hire in AJ Hinch… you know how much shit you’d be getting about his cheating, banging trash cans, etc; did you really want him? Surely there was somebody ELSE out there, but ownership picked the Hall of Fame manager… yeah, HALL OF FAME… so…???

I know, he earned those stripes back before analytics were a thing, back before the younger generation of Sox fans were alive, but he did earn them; being elected to the Hall of Fame verifies it. Yes, he may be almost a century old, but you never know… maybe this will turn out to be the Hire of the Century by good old Jerry; isn’t he almost 100 too? I’ll just continue to sit back and watch… the games are played on the field; having a good manager is important, but not the MOST important thing. Maybe this will make the players bond together even stronger, to shoot to win in spite of him; maybe they’ll be talented enough to pull it off. Or, maybe this hire will throw the entire Sox rebuild off the rails and go down in history as one of the worst hires in all of Chicago sports history. Tim Floyd, Fred Hoiberg, Jim Boylen, Robin Ventura… just a few recent ones that come to mind, all hired by… yep, you guessed it. It’s Jerry’s world and we’re all just living in it…
