Has anybody else noticed Tony La Russa’s stupid fucking half-mask this year? pic.twitter.com/7dTAllRE4r

* Rhodes: “Maybe his coaches don’t wanna go near him because he doesn’t wear his mask right.”
* White Sox bench coach Miguel Cairo is in his first full-time coaching job.
The #WhiteSox‘s bench coach is Miguel Cairo, btw, an old La Russa pal. It’s Cairo’s first full-time staff job. Here’s what Cairo said about La Russa when he was hired: pic.twitter.com/5T8iAzQFMc

Hey, Pat Hughes & Ron Coomer: Admitting you didn’t know the extra-inning runner rule either doesn’t mean “nobody” knew it, it means you’re deficient at your jobs. “You’d think they’d have sent out a memo,” Hughes says. Really? https://t.co/BkfJ9SSST4

* Sullivan, Tribune: “You may not have known the entire rule either. I sure didn’t.”
MLB announced the rules, #WhiteSox and media! It’s not like this was something buried in the fine print! C’mon!

David Haugh on @670TheScore just complained that the #WhiteSox don’t have the PR infrastructure in place to protect Tony La Russa from answering a reporter’s question honestly. #journalism

* Rhodes: “People who make their living criticizing others not being able to take criticism themselves is what makes journalists the most hypocritical people on the planet.”
* Coffman: “What a joke! What a joke.” ☟
Albert Pujols deserves a fitting farewell — as long as it’s not with the White Sox https://t.co/HwhNaoL0K4

* Dickerson, ESPN: Analysis For Every Selection.
* Flashback:
Chicago #Bears draft so far:
Roquan Smith – Defense-changing LB
James Daniels – Immediate NFL starting center
Anthony Miller – NFL-ready, John Brown-plus WR
Joel Iyiegbuniwie – Uber-athletic LB/special teamer
Bilal Nichols – Young, high-upside DTVERY good draft for them so far
— Eric Galko (@EricGalko) April 28, 2018
* Teven Jenkins: “The number one thing I’ve always learned is you keep your quarterback clean, you always keep him upright, no matter what you have to do – be dirty, hold, whatever you’ve got to do.”
