...on the southside of Chicago. I'm sure not too many care, especially with the playoffs, but I'm surprised.

I'm think Ventura will keep the team loose. He was quite a clubhouse comedian while playing with the Yankees.

Isn't he the same guy who had his clock cleaned by Nolan Ryan after he charged the mound? I hope he's a better manager then he was a fighter!

The Chicago White Sox name Tim Raines as their manager.

My first thought was "Whaaa? Are they out of their minds!" But upon thinking about it a bit more, I think we are going to have to give the guy a chance to shine and not wait for him to fail. Fresh start as a manager, maybe he was born to manage, maybe not... only the season will tell in the end. I really hope he does well. OK< Not too well, they are in the same league as my home team, so he can fail a little .

Maybe the team will be decimated by injuries and he'll look like a hero by leading a ragtag group of journeymen and AAAA rookies to an 85-win season.
