La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
I have no problem with the Sox saying nothing during the press conference hiring him. It would have turned into a shit show. But, the fact that they waited for the story to leak, and it was going to leak, just amazes me.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
He never will. In fact, the anger many had at the hire, just dug him in deeper. Remeber when the Sox won the division in 1983? His first comments weren't about winning they were about Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall being "wrong" and scum. When the Sox won the division in 2000, it wasn't about his exciting young team, his first comments were to the people that ripped the white flag trade, letting them know he was right and they were wrong. He isn't going to admit being wrong here, especially since he already had this information when he made the hire.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
If the team knew it and hired him anyway, he isn't going to step aside now. They wouldn't have hired him in the first place. I was against hiring him, that was before I knew he was a multiple DUI guy. He needs rehab. If he's sincere, it will help him.

If the team knew about it, and thought it would never come out, that is just dumb. I could see if they didn't want him to get a million questions and didn't want RH to be asked a million questions, how they would have delayed letting this slip out. But they should have sent something out that they are aware of what has happened and it is being dealt with privately, and the team would have no further comment. But they waited for someone to break the story. That is amateur hour.

Also when he was arrested in February, the police officer said he was argumentative. So he's probably an angry drunk.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
At least he is a man of his word. From his 2007 DUI arrest On the day of his guilty plea to the 2007 DUI, La Russa said in a statement: "I accept full responsibility for my conduct, and assure everyone that I have learned a very valuable lesson and that this will never occur again."

It's a bad look, especially because now it looks like LaRussa and the team tried to hide it. But DUI's do happen and rarely, unless you are a school bus driver, do you lose your job. How this was handled was either LaRussa withheld the info, which would be fireable for sure, or it was amateur hour at 35th and Shields. This is DUI #2 which may indicate a problem, and a trip to a facility.

2020 Election Thoughts
Trump campaign sent 23 emails yesterday seeking donations, w/messages like "mysterious ballots" and "STOP COUNTING ILLEGAL BALLOTS." The fine print says 60% of donations go to "retirement of general election debt." Which suggests debt and no incentive to concede until it's retired.

Trump on twitter claiming Wisconsin is looking good for him, and Georgia will be a big win as well. This is getting sickening.

The Georgia SoS is Republican as is the governor. Everyone is picking on Trump. So unfair. HE WON THE ELECTION BY A LOT.

Do you think there is fraud and it cost Trump the election? Weren't you telling us you knew Biden would win all along? Have you changed your tune? Even your man Rush said Trump lost didn't he? What is all of this BS accomplishing? They are catering to a whiny little orange baby. It's time for it to end. Republicans are scared of him.

David Bossie, the guy leading the Trump campaign legal fight, has the coronavirus. This is like a ridiculous episode of Veep.

You did. It was 2 days after the election in 2016. Biden had Pence in to discuss the transfer. Now, it's nothing but BS. Mike Pence willing to ruin any reputation he has left on something that would ruin this country if for some political reason it went Trumps way.

Mike Pence knew his tweet was a lie yet he threw it out there anyway. For a guy who claims faith is a large part of his life, you think truth would have some importance.

2020 Election Thoughts
Turns out the "fraudulent" voters the Trump campaign came up with in Nevada were military members voting from overseas. And the "witness" Rudy brought up to the mic in one of his Philly press conferences is a child sex offender. Don Jr. who said Covid won't be mentioned the day after the election is now saying Pfiser was being so unfair releasing their info now. Funny since it's just a hoax. Life is just so unfair if you are a Trump. You would think they would just quit embarrassing themselves, but it's not going to stop for a while.

White Sox coaching staff announced (List in first post)
Yes. The Sox were in the Duke/Kentucky position of having their choice for the top guy, and went rogue. As long as LaRussa is the same mentality he was when he retired, they are better off once the game starts and ends with him that Renteria. But all other times have to be a serious concern. They need a good coaching staff to make up for when Tony gets into a feud with a player, who can keep the players focus. It is one thing to have problems with established veterans which Tony has had over the years, but dealing with your asshole manager is a headache a young guy in the middle of establishing himself that isn’t needed.

The Republicans despite all this voter fraud and fake dem voters picked up house seats and still will most likely control the senate. Funny how that goes.

Trump campaign sent out an email blast asking for fraud defense money. The small print said half the funds would be used to pay down campaign debts. According to George Conway, Kellyannes husband, this is wire fraud.

Actually Realistic Vaughn Trade Ideas?
Jose Abreu was an MVP player in 2020. In 2021 or 2022, he probably won’t be. Vaughn is too good to trade, and will be needed soon enough. He may be the best hitter of them all.
