    Did Corky just postpone the Jerry Manuel firing?

    Been listening to sports radio in Chicago all morning, hardly a mention of the Sox blowing another game last night and Jerry Manuel's very questionable use of his bullpen.

    Even the nationally based Kornheiser show is all about Corky and he doesn't even like to talk about sports.

    Jerry Manuel and Kenny WIlliams have to love it.

    Probably not, baseball is a business that is full of cutthroats in management.

    Takes the emphasis off it, but probably doesn't postpone it. Probably speeds it up to try to get the fans minds on something else quicker.

          I agree... it's not going to postpone th inevitable... the ChiSox don't care about Sosa's situation, hell the guy's not even in the same league... As far as the media goes, this WILL divert all or most attention away from Manuel being fired.

          Media is like insects, they always gather around the biggest light.

                I really hope they fire Manuel soon, but it appears Williams has backed himself into a corner saying in the off season that Manuel wouldn't be fired before his contract was up. Regardless, as the season slips away, who would you like to see as the next manager of the White Sox? I believe Valentine(although I dont think he would leave ESPN in the middle of a season) would be someone who would make the players take notice.
                I drive a 2005 Toyota Prius Gas/Electric Hybrid. My last tank was 53.6 miles/gallon. Gas prices fear me!

                Oversimplification is the escape of men who want to avoid the duty demanded by true understanding.

                      I don't see why the Sox would fire him. Other than to try and show the fans they're doing something. Manuel is filling out the lineup card and the guys aren't getting it done, period.
                      I hate it when I see good managers take the fall, especially for half a bad season.

                            Well deserve it or not, he'll more than likely get the pink slip here pretty soon...
