He doesn't seem like that at all. Go kill yourself

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

ya i am sure he's cool w fans. but other players and people in the game. i think his attitude is like eff these guys. and that's what type of attitude probably makes him so good.

like barry bonds. everyone said he was a SOB and he was. But i think if he wasn't that SOB and had that SOB attitude he wouldn't have been so great.

I usually only listen to the Hit 'n' Run.

AM1000 is what I listen to now.

I think this is the kind of info the Sox should be getting out into the public consciousness.

Right now, the media is making assumption about his heritage that aren't true, like some did with Dolphins coach Flores last year, until he made them look foolish by telling them he was african american

HY, Anderson is a guy who appears to be helping out all of humanity as best he can. Good guy although he never bought me a beer.

He didn't say he hates all white people. He just REMINDS him of a guy who hates all white people...sheesh

Bernstein is a weird fucking dude. He's overly concerned about Tim Anderson's feelings. Dude, his manager is an 80 year old baseball lifer. He's been coaching black dudes before Tim was born. Spiegs is spewing the same weird stuff. Stop being that creepy 50 year old woke guy.

It would be one thing if there were any truth to it. But it's a completely manufactured story based on simple dislike for LaRussa. You'd think the guy was Ben Chapman or something if you listened to these dopes and other who have written about him recently.

And the worst part is that it's been embraced by Millennial Sox fans on Twitter. All the woke youngsters are convinced that LaRussa is a racist monster. Based on what, I'm not sure. Just because he's an old white guy, I guess. So I understand that coming from women in their early 30s on Twitter, but don't bernstein and Spiegel understand they're old white guys just like LaRussa? Do they think they'll get a pass because they're Jewish?

I've never heard of LaRussa having a bad relationship with any black or Latino players. In fact, he seemed to get along great with two famously prickly black dudes in Dave Stewart and Rickey Henderson. He managed goofy Canseco, for God's sake. And he's stated in the past that the best player he's ever managed was Yadier Molina which had me holding out hope that the Sox would bring him in on a one year deal until he re-signed with St. Louis.

I'm more worried about who his Dave Duncan is going to be? I'll bet HE'S more worried about who his Dave Duncan is going to be.

LaRussa will end up being a great hire. Get him a driver and watch him win a World Series.

I don't know if that will be the case or not. He is pretty fucking old. I've never been a LaRussa fan. But to act as if he's forgotten how baseball is played or that he's some alien who doesn't know how to talk to black people is ridiculous. A lot of people think kneeling for the anthem is bullshit. You know what? Many of them are black.

I consider LaRussa easily the best manager of my lifetime and I dont think the game has changed so much in the 10 years since he won his last World Series that it will matter.

I just ignore the woke stuff at this point.

Francona. Not a doubt in my mind. Without Dave Duncan, LaRussa is running a dog pound somewhere.

same with bat flipping

The bat flipping "controversy" is stupid as hell too. Who is watching baseball for bat flips? The game is losing fans because the ball isn't put in play as much. Home run or strike out baseball is dull. Bernstein acts like the bat flip is what gets teenagers off.

I know you don't like the guy, but let's try to put it in perspective. I'm doing this from memory, so if I left one out please point it out, but here are the Sox managers since 1990:

Jeff Torborg
Gene Lamont
Terry Bennington
Jerry Manuel
Ozzie Guillermo
Robin Ventura
Ricky Renteria.

In your opinion, where would LaRussa rank on that list?

The two have always been together so Im not sure how you can determine which guy is the cause of the success they've had.

Don Cooper was 0-2 as interim when Ozzie left in 2011

Frank, I don't know what we'd do with you.

I would put him higher than that, but I agree that he can't help but be an improvement over many of the people who have occupied that position recently.

Bingo.

It's not a question of whether he is better than that shi!t-list but rather if he was the best choice today. IMO he was not, but I hope to be proven wrong.

Yeah, that's how I feel. If the players play, he'll be fine. Too much is made of the manager anyway. I'm pretty sure LaRussa can still run a ballgame.
