Maybe if you knew someone who was hurt by a drunk driver or family that was devastated by it, you might have some perspective. This guy screwed up his car thank God, and not some innocent person. But give him a pass. We can’t tie up the courts with something so trivial. The fact that repeat offenders get a slap on the wrist shows why this problem will never go away.

When you have blood tests and breathalyzer results indicating driving impaired, I don’t think it should be pled down especially if their is a previous DUI, even if it is from another state a decade ago. Studies indicate you drive drunk 80 times before your first arrest. Maybe the only 2 times TLR drove drunk he got pulled over. I doubt it, just like I wonder how many times he has used his HOF baseball person line. I mentioned in one thread I was hit head on and my car totaled by a guy I think may have been drunk. They never tested him. He had no insurance. This was before imsurance was mandatory. He was charged with illegal lane usage and some other BS charge, which they dropped because he had no priors. I had to sue him. I asked the prosecutor how ome would get priors if charges are dropped because they don’t have any, and she didn’t answer.

Again, look at his last 2 years with the White Sox, and look at his numbers in 2019. They, the actual numbers, are virtually identical. This is also almost spot on with his career averages. So to thing he may put up similar numbers isn’t actually a reach.

So it was $10.5 million. He got paid his buyout in 2020. They would have had to pay him $10.5 million in 2021. It matters a little bit. Soto may move to RF, and there is talk they are interested in Schwarber to play LF. They aren’t going after Springer either even though their owner makes JRs bank account look small and he let Harper and Rendon walk the last couple of years.

It was $10.5 million.

The problem I have is this wasn’t his first time. It’s long enough for AZ to forget about it happening before, but not for me.

Yes even though he was above the limit, he simply drove recklessly, not drunk.

Maybe the best half Mitch has ever played.

Mitch is having a great game.

I don't think this signing has been met with much enthusiasm. And who really knows what will happen. I doubt you had Abreu an MVP type a year ago.. The options other than Springer could or would bring the same argument. If they spend the money, and admittedly there is no reason to think they will , on other things, you have no reason to complain. These type of signings have rarely worked out for RH. But they used to work out all the time for the White Sox in RF. Ellis Burks, DJ, and Danny Tartabull and Tony Phillips even Mike Devereaux, worked out real well. Maybe Hahn is due.

No one jis asking you. They did win a WS with 5 non pitchers being above average. At least be consistent. You are b****ing about someone's opinion of Eaton trying to use bWAR as the end all but on another thread telling us Brad Hand is awful just because you say so.

JR wasn't paying for an above average guy soo they got the closest thing.

Is essentially the exact same offensive production that netted the Sox Giolito, Lopez and Dunning.

Isnt the biggest proof the Dems didn't rig the election McConnell and Graham are staying on? These people are crazy. The pillow guy yesterday said Fox News was in on it and the proof was their early call for Biden in AZ. He does know network calls are not binding I think.

Ozzie Guillen got Mark Kotsay over Jim Thome.

Florida star Keontae Johnson in critical condition after collapsing on the court today. Don’t know what the cause was but he did have Covid earlier.

Something like $55 million came off the books. I saw on here there is a $24 million increase with arbitration and rates, and they have added $16 million with Eaton and Lynn.

I bet he goes to 33, McCanns old number. I think 13 is unofficially retired.

Eaton’s injury prone rep is a little overblown. His 2017 injury was slipping on a wet base, and his 2018 injury was a surgery to clean a flap in his ankle which appears to have happened on the same play. You then look at his 2019 season. Compare his 2019 numbers to his numbers his last 2 seasons with the White Sox, they are almost identical. Defensively he has slid a bit. Maybe coming back and exclusively playing RF will get him back a bit. He does play hard, and is basically playing for his career.

Plus they haven’t had a game in 9 months. They still are going to suck, but not as bad as last night.

Bernstein's Sox talk is usually not very accurate.

The Sox are so screwed with James McCann. Start the rebuild.

Yadi does have a sweet neck tat.

The Astros are trying to win and they let Springer walk. The Dodgers are trying to win and they traded Joc last year and let him walk this year. That has nothing to do with it. The last time the game was normal, Adam Eaton was the starting RF, and of the World Champions, and he damn near was the WS MVP.

And not one word from POTUS.
