I honestly just think they never expected anyone to find out. He’d get charged, quietly spend the day or whatever in jail and no one would find out.
Someone tipped Passan off to this 100%. People aren’t just searching the Maciopa County court records to look for TLR.
Something like this could be forgotten about 4 or 5 years ago. The issue here is there are always going to be alcoholic or drunk jokes thrown his way throughout the season. It’s not going to go away like they think it will.
I’ve just gotten to the acceptance point where I think this season is going to be a massive success or an unmitigated disaster filled with drama. There’s no inbetween.
I don’t think Jerry cares about any of this. I literally think he just did this because he thought it would be cool for him to win a World Series with his friend. He’s is a slave to sentiment, it’s obnoxious.
Yep, it makes this whole thing feel very dirty. It’s Jerry’s team and he has every right to do it. It’s still a really shitty thing to do to your employee.
I also think theres just a subset of Sox fans who just hate Rick Hahn and love that Jerry dumped on him.
