He wears out his welcome for sure. He's not gonna be a seven- or eight-year guy (or whatever he was last year). He had a good managing career here, though I think he botched 2010. He can take a good team to a championship. He sure as hell would squash the hubris on this team. I mean, they need a few more arms and a left-handed bat and a right fielder, but they could also deal with an attitude adjustment.

Well, we'll talk about it if he's hired. Espada your choice? And if Dusty decides to retire? Kinda stuck with Ozzie then, aren't we? I'm a tad concerned Maddon bullshits his way into the job. Reinsdorf mouthpiece Nightengale is awfully quiet.

That's because he was lobbying for the manager job.

According to mlbtraderumors, Espada is out. Maybe there is something to these Guillen rumors.

Wow I really thought at this point they were just waiting for the end of the WS to name him the manager.

I'm going to throw this name out for shits and giggles since Nightengale mentioned him at the start.

Matt Quatraro

hired by the Royals.

White Sox are the last on the clock.

In 2012 Miami, he made it like a week.

Welp, that about does it then. Shildt, Maddon, Girardi, and Washington are the same retreads as Ozzie and they have no familiarity.

I’d have to think a whole mess of Astros and Phillies coaches I’ve never heard of will be available in a week.

After two years ago, who knows. I laughed OUT LOUD at Nightengale then.

You have to pray for Ozzie at this point as he's the best candidate left on the market. Or Maddon?

I find it hard to believe it’s Ozzie. It feels like he’s either a hard yes or no give his history with the current management. If it’s yes then he’d already have been announced. I guess the caveat would be if Jerry is pushing for him against the wishes of KW and RH. I don’t recall what his relationship was with JR when he left to organization.

Nah, managers only matter when its 80 year old racist Tony LaRussa . they should actually get someone with an MD so he can help keep the soft ass players on the field.

He quit on the Sox at the end.

I agree with you that it shouldn't be a tough decision. Interviewing him would be like interviewing your wife of twenty years. They know who he is. The only thing I can think of is maybe they think he's a fit, but they want him to apologize to Jerry and Kenny for the way he went out and assure everyone that he's more mature than he was back then. Also, I would guess nobody wants his idiot kids around.

I don't know but I still think that Espada has a deal awaiting his signature. I just think that he is waiting to see if the Stros win the WS. If Ozzie was the guy, I think he'd have already been named.

Once again, a lot of confusion regarding the WHite Sox managerial search. One thing for certain, they let the best choice Bochey get signed elsewhere while they fiddle around with some Hispanic coaches to coddle the chain wielding, colored shoe wearing, mansion buying, no hustle prima donnas on thier team.

I won't be surprised if it is Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long.

Just say the Cubans. We all know who it is.

Sounds like LaRussa was involved in the hire at some level. Score afternoon guys interviewed George Brett this afternoon. He said that LaRussa called him a few days ago to ask his opinion of this guy and what type of manager he would be

Great. Two guys who shit their pants helped to pick out the next White Sox manager. What can go wrong?

The entire interview with Goerge Brett was fucking gold..it's a must listen

He also forgot who Parkins was mid-interview

yeah it was pretty good, he is a piece of work

My question at the press conference:
"Assistant GM Hahn, If the KC Royals, a team not over .500 since the WS in 2015, passed on their bench coach for the manager's job, and hired another bench coach for the manager's job, does that detail affect your process? and following up, were there other Cubans available?"

Wow

He must have hated playing for the Sox, because I don't see how another team gives him $10-12mil next season.
