Tony La Russa is hot in the streets this week. If we did ‘Worst of the Week’ for the national sports landspace, La Russa is definitely the worst. You probably know the story by now. La Russa did not stick up for his player, Yermin Mercedes, after getting plunked by a pitch. That was after the player hit a home run off a position player. CC Sabathia, former Brewers stud (Look it was three months and kicked a ton of ass), laid the absolute fucking hammer down on La Russa. This is incredible stuff coming from a former player and probably says everything you need to know about the White Sox’s manager.

“𝙃𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙛%*#% 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢.” @CC_Sabathia didn’t mince words with @RyanRuocco on Tony La Russa and the unwritten rules of baseball. TUNE IN!!! New episode available now: https://t.co/kOpnCWxzKM 🎙 pic.twitter.com/tKnJhnEUCr

I love how Ryan Ruocco just sits there and lets Sabathia go. Ruocco is a true professional working for ESPN, YES, and others so that’s not a surprise. But I also think it’s funny he’s on a podcast where his partner is unleashing a curse-filled rant. Sabatha does not give one single fuck which I respect. The dude just lets it fly. He has a way with cursing too. I swear probably too much, but I cannot be that eloquent when I swear. Truly impressive shit from CC.
