The Year of Living Tonyously

Chances are, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Sure, the Tony La Russa hiring has sucked most of the air out of the White Sox offseason so far, but just wait until you hear the big whooshing sound once the season starts.

La Russa is due in court on the 21st, presumably to enter a plea in his latest DUI charge, which will probably mean a rich-and-famous-person’s sentence of three hours of community service in exchange for a plea of guilty to damaging a public sidewalk, and an autographed hat. Really doesn’t matter what happens in the courtroom, since Jerry Reinsdorf has already made it clear that — to adapt the statement of another famously arrogant personage — La Russa could shoot somebody in the middle of 35th Street and still keep the job.
