It’s two steps forward, three steps back for the White Sox. They clean house one day, then let Tony La Russa loose on the field the next. La Russa advising Jerry Reinsdorf is a little like George Custer giving advice to Dwight Eisenhower on D-Day. And the last thing you need, the last thing GM candidate Chris Getz needs, is praise from manager Mickey Mouse. But there he was yesterday before his team actually won a game, 5-4 in ten innings against the Mariners, praising Getz’s smarts. Mouse knows Getz from their time together in the Royals’ organization. That would be the same organization with the second-worst record in baseball. Next up on the homestand is Oakland, the team with the worst record in baseball. I mean, the Sox actually have fourteen more wins than the A’s. Let’s see Mouse show his worth to his new bosses by sweeping the four-game series. I won’t hold my breath. Speaking of three steps back, Zach Remillard was demoted to Charlotte. What, did he hustle down the line on groundballs too much? Not a smart move by an organization desperate to show it’s not brain dead.
