The Chicago White Sox lost again in the first game of the doubleheader on Tuesday. They are in serious danger of digging themselves into too big of a hole in the division. The Cleveland Guardians are better than them right now in every way and Tony La Russa is a big reason why.
After Monday night’s disgusting loss, Ozzie Guillen went on the postgame show and said some honest things about the manager and the White Sox. It was good to hear the honesty from a prominent White Sox figure.
It didn’t take long for Ozzie Guillen to do it again as he had some things to say about Tony La Russa. Along with Scott Podsednik on the postgame show, he had no problem comparing Tony La Russa to Rick Renteria. To be honest, he is not wrong at all.
The White Sox are getting the same results with Tony La Russa as they were with Rick Renteria. They have the same level of ineptitude when it comes to lineups and in-game operations. With that, the players played way harder for Rick Renteria than they have for Tony La Russa.
Ozzie Guillen & Scott Podsednik have had enough

Podsednik: "We need to hear Tony [La Russa] say 'the way we're taking the field and what we're doing is unacceptable.'"

The Chicago White Sox needs to get rid of Tony La Russa as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that what is going on with this team is nothing short of unacceptable. They came into the year with expectations that they would at minimum win the American League. Since then, they have played very poorly and looked like they don’t even want to be there.
This is also a very poorly coached team and Tony La Russa doesn’t seem interested in making any kinds of changes. They are just wasting a year that should be spent building towards a championship.
Ozzie Guillen and Scott Podsednik are not the only two former players turned media personnel that has ripped on the management either. Steve Stone had himself a time during the actual game as he had no problem making his opinion known as well.
It was an exciting start to the season but the White Sox have fallen way off. Tony isn’t the only problem but he was supposed to be the guy that helped them overcome some things. Instead, we can say with a fair amount of confidence that they are going nowhere this year.
