QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) It was. Alex Rios, of all people, went outside the Royals clubhouse and pleaded with Sale to come to his senses. yikes

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Not who I was thinking of but look at the new guys they brought in. Frazier Lawrie Narvarro Avila Rollins That's a lot of voices taking over for the quiet clubhouse outside of Adam Eatin before. Also notice that the best player on the team has yet be spoken to. There are also the Tommy Kahnle's and Jacob Turner's of the world who may have had an issue with it

So Sale told KW "get the f*** out of the clubhouse"? I feel bad for KW if Rollins/Avila really did tell him that the Drake stuff was getting old, and then Sale goes crazy on KW

If a couple players complained about Drake to KW but (rightfully) stayed silent during the team meeting yesterday, then I hope these internal issues get resolved. Reminds me of the Bulls.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 12:58 PM) No offense to Chris but the leadership baton isn't with him these days even though he's well respected. Like it or not the Sox brought in new strong voices who have taken over That report makes me wonder if the report about him entering the Royals' clubhouse after the April brawl was actually factual.

Oh my god what has happened...

QUOTE (Gakman23 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) On Mike and Mike right now they are discussing how Robin had to basically beg the players to play yesterday after they found out Kenny stepped into the office and made the no LaRoche jr allowed in the office every day. Sounds like a team all on the same page, but I would guess someone probably complained behind the scenes and that's why this happened. That seems... weird. A dissension that extreme is the last thing this team needs. All the positive "improved clubhouse atmosphere" stories from the days prior were refreshing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) Not at all. If Jose Abreu had a kid in the clubhouse every day, KW wouldn't have said squat. And Soxtalk would be abuzz with what the f*** is KW doing if he actually did and Abreu made a stink over it. I just think the team should have a clear policy one way or the other. I think that would be hard with his kid living in Cuba

Hopefully March Madness swallows this up, but as of now, it looks like Ken Rosenthal, Bryce Harper, Blaine Boyer, Kelly Colis, and *sigh* David Kaplan are the main people bashing the Sox, either directly and indirectly. Luckily, Kaplan is getting a lot of flak, although I do see people citing his "report" in defense of LaRoche...

Kelly Collis Verified account ‏@cityshopgirl So proud @e3laroche for choosing #FamilyFirst #BaseballIsAFamilyGame http://foxs.pt/1Z4rnGq

I find it annoying that Ken Rosenthal was trying to make us look bad. Just saw this Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 12h12 hours ago Those of you who say the #WhiteSox players complained about LaRoche’s son being in clubhouse should read this: http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...tuesday-meeting …

SportsCenterVerified account ‏@SportsCenter 5m5 minutes ago The White Sox were right when they asked Adam LaRoche to limit his son's presence in clubhouse, says @notthefakeSVP. http://es.pn/1pw7gFf

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) He had the kid around when he was doing fine with Washington. He gets called out now but he's been hurt. I'm sure some Nationals players struggled being themselves/censoring themselves with a kid around all the time, too.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 12:00 AM) Does anyone know how many games the starting 5 have actually played together? Rose/Butler/Dunleavy/Gasol (and Gibson/Mirotic/whoever the other guy is at the time) have played exactly 0:00 together this season.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:21 PM) Greg Gabriel ‏@greggabe 7h7 hours ago Don't think for a minute the Bears signing a new snapper wasn't all about Gould's misses last year. That's ALL it was about Wish they replaced the kicker instead

David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 42m42 minutes ago Just so we're clear: Sox agreed to let LaRoche have son be around 100% of the time. Condition of him agreeing to sign w/the White Sox. 100%. I don't know how this guy is seen as credible

David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 1h1 hour ago @qcsportzinferno They agreed to allow him around EVERYDAY. ack_qcsi ‏@qcsportzinferno 1h1 hour ago @thekapman..shady..that's y I'm a Cubs fan..lol

David KaplanVerified account ‏@thekapman 13m13 minutes ago Do not believe for 1 sec Adam LaRoche is in wrong. After doing my homework I promise you Sox said Drake could ALWAYS be around. idiot.

Bears also signed long snapper Aaron "39 overall in Madden" (not a joke) Brewer

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) It was every day this spring. It isn't every day during the season. He plays on 2 baseball teams. One in Kansas and one in Chicago. According to Dan Hayes, he is there more than most. He also said he is the most behaved kid he has ever met. He said a lot of the White Sox will genuinely miss him. I wonder when JR will have Gar tell DRose to give the father/son time at the UC a rest. Right, because these situations are very comparable...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Maybe both are true? Some players were on LaRoche side; some want the kid gone The "heated clubhouse meeting" between KW and the team is what's throwing me off from thinking both are true
