What Exactly Does Robin Ventura Do Around Here Anyway?

While The War of LaRoches isn't as violent as it was a couple of days ago, as the flames turn to embers, I can't help but look in the fire and see the end of Robin Ventura as White Sox manager. There's been a whole lot of stupid during this entire saga, and it's come from all different angles. From Adam LaRoche , to his teammates, to Kenny Williams, to the media covering the story. Just about everybody has played their role in this confederacy of dunces, but the name that has been absent in all of it is the name of the man who is supposedly in charge of the clubhouse that appears so fractured.

The White Sox announced on Sunday that Miguel Gonzalez would be starting on Monday night in Toronto, and that John Danks would be getting skipped in the rotation.

Well, you can now open an account online. The pandemic that has robbed us of sports ironically led to making it easier for us to bet on the sports we no longer have. I opened a BetRivers account online earlier this week, and then began doing what I always do: I looked for odds I could exploit. I found them rather easily too. Once sports betting became legal in Illinois I was interested in seeing what kind of lines and value I could find on Chicago-related odds. It's important to remember that while there are professional gamblers out there who treat it no differently than others treat the stock market, the overwhelming majority of sports bettors are doing it for fun
