If I were to guess the organization will fire him within 24 hours or this will be hanging over his head too much that he will have people telling him to resign. I’m thinking the latter but we’ll see. Nightengale’s article is concerning. 

They knew he was arrested.  They chose 1.) Not to disclose this 2.) To hire him anyway    Zero fucks are given by JR to anyones feelings. This is a business and his personal playground.

We already were told from Reinsdorf that he won't be fired or punished.

As for the idea that he'll resign because he doesn't want to be a distraction, which I've seen a lot of people suggest, I'll just advise that you don't do that to yourself. It would be fantastic, and it's the right thing to do, but we're stuck with this guy, and I don't see a reason to try and believe otherwise. Of course, I hope I am wrong

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.

You agree Rick Hahn will have blood on his hands if he doesn’t resign over this?

Serious question now: anyone here who would not take Renteria back right now, if those were the only 2 options?

No. I don’t expect anyone to like this take, but this is a game. A very enjoyable game, but a game nonetheless. I don’t use it to teach my children morals. I use it to be entertained. Ricky made the game suck. I’ll stress morals when I talk about politics, but here, give me the best possible gameplay.

I really wish I wasn’t so emotionally attached to the Sox cause I hate everything about being a fan of this team.

La russa is a clown. Id take bozo over him.

Could it have been a thing where LaRussa was getting canned, because of the DUI, from his advisory role with whatever team he was doing that for recently?  And Then Jerry offered him the manager position so he'd have some role in MLB still?  IT'S SOOO FUCKING HARD TO RACK MY BRAIN AROUND THIS WHOLE ORDEAL...

This sucks.

Then Hinch should of been the hire even before Drinky woke up from his "its 5 oclock somewhere" nap.

I wanted AJ Hinch. A fellow Sox fan and in the office announced that we had hired LaRussa and my immediate, out loud reaction was “What the fuck.” So I wasn’t a huge fan but it did grow on me slightly.

But I still wouldn’t take back Ricky fucking Renteria.

If LaRussa does it during the season and something bad happens?

The only pr save the Sox could do is have Tony “step away” and release a statement that says something about Jerry taking a chance on him and helping him get his life together by getting him back in the game but with it coming to light ,  he does not want to bring the unnecessary drama on the organization and will step away to focus on bettering himself.

Well next up to make this worse.  Its when they decide to fill his bench with former sox players.  Bobby Jenks for pitching coach is an obvious hire now.

He would done it somewhere else?  None of this falls on Rick Hahn and you demanding his job is straight up ridiculous.

I think this is a real possibility but in the back of my mind I keep thinking.... we're talking about TLR right now. He loves all attention; always has. Guy might be enjoying this.

This would be the right thing to do but I doubt it happens. The Nightengale article pretty much refutes it. 

If expensive free agents decide not to come here how does that hurt JR.  He doesnt care about the media.  He doesnt care about the fans.  He wants to right his wrongs with his friend. 

Knowing the Sox they will double down on Tony now.  Sometimes it is hard caring about anything this franchise does when they constantly shoot themselves in the collective dick.

Nobody loves Tony more than Tony

Are we going to have a manager who legally cannot drive?

When does the AL MVP winner get announced?  Pretty sad that Jose possibly winning will now get partly overly over-shadowed by this bullshit.

This is deplorable.

Priceless.

Now would be an excellent time for a Bruce Bochy detour with Sam Fuld brought on as bench coach and Ethan Katz as pitching coach.  Act like it never actually happened and hopefully all is forgiven by opening day.

Thursday. I bet one of the first questions will be "have you spoken yet with Tony La Russa?' and he'll give the same answer as TA
