Tony La Russa is back by popular demand, ready to lead the Chicago White Sox back to the playoffs.
Well, not really “back” back. La Russa said Sunday it’s “uncertain” when he would return to the Sox dugout, relying on medical experts to tell him if he’s healthy enough for the playoff push after a recent heart-related episode.
And if he does return, it wouldn’t be by popular demand — or any demand whatsoever. The consensus opinion of Sox fans on a potential La Russa comeback can be summed up in three words: “We’re good, thanks.” A race right now between La Russa and acting manager Miguel Cairo would result in a landslide.
