COLUMN: No one remains the way they were in their 30s — and White Sox manager Tony La Russa is no different. But La Russa, 77, sounds a lot like he did his first go-round on the South Side in the 1980s, especially when it comes to the Sox’s problems.

White Sox starting pitcher Johnny Cueto takes off his hat as he leaves the field after the third inning against the Angels on June 28, 2022, in Anaheim, Calif.
“We didn’t go out and get major-league players to help us and we didn’t have enough Triple-A talent,” Fisk said. “It was the start of what we`ve seen occur today.”The Harrelson move set the franchise backward, beginning with an ill-advised decision to market the team around the new GM with an ad campaign saying “The Hawk Wants You.”
