Re: Robin Ventura named White Sox manager
I hope he tries to start a brawl with the President of the Texas Rangers.

Re: Robin Ventura named White Sox manager
I thought they'd go with experience, but when you think about it, they named a fiery, ex-Chisox infielder. Sounds slightly familiar....

Re: Robin Ventura named White Sox manager
A MLB team hiring a guy who has managed at no level in baseball.... this is going to go well.

Re: Robin Ventura named White Sox manager
There's something so very "silly talk radio caller idea" about this. Only the White Sox.

I thought Rays Bench Coach Dave Martinez would be a perfect fit for the White Sox job. Maybe the Red Sox will snap him up. |
