Dick Allen

Brooks is really a good guy. I had a couple emails to him many years ago, and he doesn't know me from Adam, but he replied, and they were replies that didn't seem like "I guess I have to respond to this". They were well thought out, answered by questions, and fired me up for the next Sox game. I feel bad for him if his inbox is getting pounded. He deserves better.

I am very afraid of this. I really don't know why republican is either so loyal or so afraid of him. It's amazing. And scary. Hopefully, it won't happen. It would really be a country back breaker if it happens in one state let alone enough to push Trump to stay. Perhaps the scariest thing is how easily Trump has controlled the republican party, and they all work for his needs now. Some day, someone a lot smarter than him, someone capable of at least faking empathy, but someone with his same motives is going to come around, and if so many fell for Trump, think what will happen.

If LaRussa was barely drunk, then at the very least, his statements make him the biggest tool in the shed. Being buzzed would make that point a little moot as if you are ever out with your friends and they are hammered and your sober as a judge, you realize drunk people say the strangest things. When you are equally as drunk, you don't notice. I would also like to know Tony's definition of being legit. He's a baseball HOFer, so he is legit. Is the guy driving home from working the second shift at Walmart not legit? What is the criteria?

Mark Grace spent some time there after his 3rd DUI.

Yes, but if you listen to these guys, doesn't this video kind of tell you that they either were full of shit in 2018 or are full of shit now? You laugh at polar opposites between Fox and CNN, what about between Fox 2018 and Fox 2020?

When Jim Anderson was fired yesterday as Acting Under Secretary for Policy, he was given a "clap-out" as he left the building. The WH called to request names of any political appointees who joined in so they could be fired.

Jr. and his girlfriend who allegedly offered lap dances for the biggest contributions, are trying to take over the RNC. Supposedly they need an insider there as the grift is so large, a newcomer could expose it.

I think the lack of concession is about money. His remaining time in office is something entirely different and probably much more dangerous. In the end, he will probably pardon himself. If he does, I think Biden should pardon himself and Obama considering they have been targets of phony crime accusations, and watch Fox News anchors have aneurisms.

He will be getting rid of more. No one really knows, but something is up. Either he is going to withdraw troops from somewhere they shouldn't be withdrawn, or put some on the streets of his "anarchist" cities. I do fear violence is coming. Most of all of this IMO is an attempt to be able to say he won but the election was stolen. There are going to be millions, probably even Greg, who will agree because it will be echoed on Fox News.

The PA secretary of state says they have about 10,000 of the late votes they were told to segregate, and haven't counted. Even if they all voted for Trump, Biden wins. In Philly, the dead people vote is fake news.

I definitely think he would like the SDNY off his back and would probably concede in a second if that were on the table. But there is no way that is on the table. He has a losing hand, and has nothing to bluff with. He's screwed. If he funds this Super pac saying they are for the frivolous lawsuits, he wins in a way. I really think that is what this is all about. I think even Trump knows he's screwed, and if he doesn't everyone around him, except for maybe Rudy does. I saw Michael Cohen yesterday, and keeping with the grain of salt theme..............but he said Trump has no income. His properties are doing poorly and he has debts coming due. This slush fund is needed pretty badly.

He is using this to fund his super PAC, slush fund, and just keep spinning to his cult followers that he is not a loser but a victim.

Whatever he drank, it was enough to damage his car, and it could have been a human being. If it was no big deal, why did they cover it up?

I get that, but at this point, getting off is a technicality. He still drove drunk. The best receiver for Iowa got suspended for last weeks game because 2 weeks ago, he was arrested for DUI. He hasn't had his day in court, yet the school suspended him. If there were no breathalyzer or blood test showing his alcohol level maybe you have a point. But getting off now is just privilege.

The tests are inaccurate? What a coincidence that would be. People phoning in saying this guy was all over the road, and they find him with his car damaged calling AAA. How unlucky could Tony be?

So far the evidence is a breathalyzer and a blood test. Maybe he gets off like Bob Avelini used to. The fact is, if he gets off, it's a technicality. He drove drunk. He used very bad judgement again. And he thought his HOF ring was immunity. Acquitted doesn't necessarily mean you didn't do it. On average, and I have no idea how they figure these things, a person drives drunk 80 times before their first arrest. So it makes you wonder how much of a menace on the road Tony LaRussa is.

As someone who has a friend with permanent brain damage because he was driving a car hit by a drunk driver, I believe your stance on no charge unless something really bad happens is beyond ridiculous. If I were to shoot a gun at you and miss, because I missed, does that mean I should be able to go my merry way? LaRussa already had a DUI and proclaimed to the world it would never happen again. It happened again, and if they just let him go his merry way this time, and the media never found out, there is a good chance it would happen in the future. The guy has a problem. Whether he drinks excessively or is a lightweight and can't handle a drink or two, it needs to be recognized. The fact is, people called it in. He was swerving all over the road. It's lucky he didn't do damage to someone or something other than his tire. He is a 76 year old man who claims to know better. But he throws out his tough guy HOFer baseball person. Legit. The guy is a piece of shit, but for some reason JR just can't get enough of him. I had enough in 1986. But there is a double standard. If he was still playing and alive, if Bob Probert got caught doing the same thing, Blackhawks fans would be very sympathetic. If this was AJ Hinch, the people that wanted him hired, would spin it as nowhere near a fireable offense. And DUI's shouldn't be fireable offenses unless you are a school bus driver or a pilot, or something along those lines. DUI is a real lack of judgement. Especially from a guy like LaRussa who claims to be so sincere. For a guy so upset the police officer was embarrassing him,. he doesn't think trying to hide this and having it ultimately come out embarrasses the White Sox even worse.And they all were his actions.

It appeared Bochy was their second choice, and previously he said he would listen. You just wonder if a guy with 3 rings and in his mid 60s would be willing to be the back up option. But I can't see the Sox letting LaRussa go. Unless LaRussa deems it too embarrassing for the organization and walks away, I can't see how he will not be running spring training. And the fact that he took the job and had the press conference knowing this day would come at some point, it doesn't appear he can be embarrassed.

I'm glad that he seems to be OK. Just pretty skeptical this won't be an issue again in the near future.

What has changed Greg? It might be time you get your news from a different channel.

BTW, the Trump emails for donations to fund the fraud fight, the small print now says 60% to Teumps new super-pac, Which in essence is his post presidential slush fund. The next 40% goes directly to the RNC. Funds over $5k go to the fraud fight.

I get that but they all knew it before he took the job. If he was pulled over the other day, it makes total sense. i think the heat will cool down a little bit. If it doesn’t, he might quit, but will probably site something else for the decision.

Ricky had to go, but his lower bowel movements had more class than Tony LaRussa.

He was on MLB Network yesterday, and was asked about playing for LaRussa. He gave a respectable answer. This was before the DUI came to light.

Since 2000, there have been well over 1,000,000,000 ballots cast in US electionsi and 32 documented cases of voter fraud. Shockingly, of those 32, they didn’t all slant for the democrat. Trump lost the Iowa caucus back in 2016, said Ted Cruz was guilty of fraud, and it needed to be re done. Quit placating this baby. He lost. It is over. It is time everyone admitted it. Every single suit Trump has filed has been frivolous. But since you think this is a good thing, why don’t you send his campaign some money so they can continue to do the right thing?
