"That's all I know how to do, brother," La Russa said. "I'm not ready to do anything but stay close to the game."
People said, 'You look so much better' and I say, 'I must have looked like [bleep] all those months,' La Russa told the Sun-Times this week. "But I'm feeling better and stronger every day. So good news."
Although tight with Reinsdorf, who still runs the Sox' show at 87, La Russa wants it known he's not a Sox decision-maker. He has known first-year general manager Chris Getz, who was farm director when La Russa managed, and he has developed a bond with second-year manager Pedro Grifol.
