La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
To be fair, the poster did bring race into the equation.

Agreed. DUIs won't increase because some rich guy got a pass for it. Rich people ALWAYS get away with stuff. Hyperbole at its finest.

Nightengale's journalistic integrity went out the window. Everybody already knew he was Reinsdorf's personal messenger. He really went on a podcast to defend and downplay a DUI? Either he's a dope or Reinsdorf made him do that. What a joke.

Hey, who the hell changed my profile tagline? That's totally dishonest and void of context! I've never lost an AGREES UPON and fair ban bet. What a joke.

Another ridiculous aspect that people have touched (aside from the obvious distraction for the team) is that hiring his coaching staff will likely get delayed by this. It shows the complete and utter selfishness and arrogance that is Tony La Russa. This is NOT good for the team. If he or Reinsdorf have a damn about what is best for the White Sox, Tony would step down.

Sheriff Joe is the guy who took pride in his "desert tent camps" where he would illegally detain and keep people in these tents that were brutally hot. It's astonishing he was able to do this for some long. He is a grade A piece of crap. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/aug/21/arizona-phoenix-concentration-camp-tent-city-jail-joe-arpaio-immigration

Are you Not Steve Cishek and this new Al's account? The guy clearly made an account to parody the legitimate Portillos account/source. Why are we sharing what this account tweets?

Possibly. I don't think many fans will actually dump their season tickets due to this. What will add up is if sponsors start dropping the team. Jerry Reinsdorf cares about $$$ more than anything.

It's all part of the plan. Reinsdorf is setting the marketing team up for the a wildly successful keychain breathalyzer night

Maybe Jerry Reinsdorf is executing a 300iq move here. He wants more than anything to prove his loyalty to a good friend (TLR). He interviews TLR as a sign of respect, with no intention to hire him. Once Jerry hears about the DUI, he knows TLR can't realistically be the manager. However - the public doesn't know yet. Jerry knows the public backlash will be bad and a convenient excuse to force La Russa to resign. Jerry shows the ultimate sign of loyalty by giving good ole TLR his old job back. Jerry waits for the DUI be public and tells TLR he must resign. Jerry never had any intention of making La Russa the manager. Jerry just wanted to make him think he was going to be manager, to earn his respect back. Go to a week from now. Bochy is conveniently still available and is hired to manage.

This will overshadow every move this off-season. It's absolutely crazy and proves Jerry really doesn't care about what is best for the team. He cares more about giving his friend another chance.

This crosses the line. Rooting for the Ricketts is easier than rooting for TLR and the Sox now, easily. @Balta1701 you better join me as well given how critical you have been. I totally agree with your takes here.

That's on the top of my list to visit. I've heard it's an awesome place.

I'm officially making the transition to being a Cubs fan. This is ridiculous and fucking embarrassing. I'd rather root for a team with a little self respect and decency. I encourage others to join me.

I just can't see Darvish having much value at all after one good shortened season, given his salary and age. It's possible the White Sox pull a Reinsdorf special and include some prospects if they eat more salary

Always appreciate your willingness to share information. Do you think the Sox had legitimate interest in Kelenic? Seems like Madrigal was 100% their guy, but it may be because they knew the chairman wouldn't do it like you said. They have a big bonus to a HS pitcher in this recent draft, though

This. We'll have to see how the league adjusts to Nick and how he adjusts to those adjustments. His value could be at an all time high for all we know.- Offseason Targets
He played in a shortened season and missed a handful of games. He has absolutely zero power. It's possible teams adjust to him. Look, I like Nick as a prospect. I think it's fair for people to criticize him too. Is he going to be good, or is he a modern day Eddie Gaedel?- Offseason Targets
You must not have been to many other fan sites. It's by far the best White Sox fan site, and better than any other fan site I've been on. You're throwing a tantrum because people are questioning a very undersized prospect that constantly made blunders.- Offseason Targets
Arenado is so overrated. He has a .793 OPS away from Coors. He makes 33mil a year average until 2027. He will be in his 30 or older the rest of his contract. Why the hell are we giving up great prospects and absorbing payroll to fill a position that we already have a star at? Hahn should be fired if he makes that trade.- 2020 Election Thoughts
