OT: Tony La Russa Retiring

Just announced...congratulations on a good career.

I could see him taking time off an coming back, not to be a manager, but to be back in baseball..

Drunk

He'll take a Joe Torre type position within baseball more than likely.

That being said... :crazydance:

Good timing for us.

MLB's head of drunk driving department. Fantastic.

 

[daddies3angels]

great manager who going out on top. Cubs chances just got better

 

[Captain Obvious]

Now he has time to rack up those DUIs!

 

[Mr. Cub]

Kind of out of no where, but no better way to leave than on top. Like Elway and MJ (the first time).

This frees up more time for him to have an oil change 5 times a day.

If no one had noticed, LaRussa has had a drinking issue in the past.

Okay...now the baseball part of the conversation is, he's a helluva manager, and the Cards probably don't win ANY championships w/out him...and I'm glad he's out of our division -- although I see Francona being a solid hire for St. Louis.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Only manager to retire after winning the WS.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

also the only manager to think the alphabet ends with "v z t v x y x z"

Dallas Mavericks' Mark Cuban interested in Los Angeles Dodgers at right price - ESPN Los Angeles

Yeah I saw... 1 billion looks like that could be it.

 

[inactiveuser1]

Is anyone seriously surprised at this? It's been pretty clear he wants to buy a baseball team....so just put two and two together and it's not suprising one bit

 

[waldo7239117]

He needs a team that he can watch and support... He can't do that with the Mavs right now.

Are the Dodgers watchable? I don't know about that right now. :lol:

Cubs fans need to firebomb Seligs office if he lets this happen.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

He should be the Cubs owner
