OOF, that’s a bad look…
Last night, the Chicago White Sox hosted the Kansas City Royals, in a game that ended 2-1.
Needless to say, there wasn’t a ton of action, as solid pitching and borderline no offense led to quick innings, and a quick game overall…
And a snooze fest for any baseball fans that love to see at least a total of 10 runs scored while watching the game.
And one of the people who thought the game was a snooze fest too?
No other than White Sox manager Tony La Russa, who was caught dozing off in the dugout during the first inning…
White Sox manager Tony La Russa can barely stay awake, let alone manage a baseball team 😭#ChangeTheGame #WhiteSox #MLB pic.twitter.com/EvbXSdPsyH

I mean c’mon, it’s the first inning and you’re already struggling to keep your eyes open? It’s gonna be a long night for you big guy.
I know La Russa is 77-years-old, and grandpas typically call it a night around 6:30 after stopping to get the senior discount at the local meat and three for dinner between 4-5, but still.
The Sox aren’t playing as well as expected this year, considering they have a lot of talent on the roster, but they’re still only 51-51, only three games back of the first place Minnesota Twins…
And top dawg in the dugout is getting a little shuteye against a God awful Royals team.
Look alive, brother.
And of course, Twitter absolutely flamed the guy for dozing off as well:
BREAKING: Tony La Russa's request for a bed in the dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field has been installed ahead of tonight's game with the Royals.
Per his contract restructuring, he's allowed to sleep for up to 30 minutes each home game where bench coach Miguel Cairo will take over. pic.twitter.com/kAh7t5XVt7

To be fair he’s been asleep most of the year so

In a decently run organization shit like this when a “World Series contending team” is hovering at .500 would get your ass shit canned. Fuck I hate Jerry and Rick. I hate them more than I ever hated Joe Mauer. https://t.co/JlCvVhn9VL

How is this dude even real? The White Sox actually have me thinking that there may be a slight possibility that we live in a simulation. https://t.co/Loc5KNmt7G

Nothing like getting shutout by the Royals at home in a hitter's park while your GM is asleep at the wheel and your manager is literally asleep in the dugout.. https://t.co/xTJeIhlVce
