Alcoholism is a tough illness to battle but the White Sox had to get in front of this. Now they just look so White Sox. You think alcoholism is serious and you want to hire Ozzie fucking Guillen? Ozzie has been drunk af since 92. Have you ever looked at the guy and seen the way he's acted? He's like the quintessential drunk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 33 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Looks like the one report was "someone called the police" and the other was he was on the side of the road. Cant find the tweet about him calling so likely made up. Here's some official version: Quote La Russa told the officer, who had detected a "light odor of alcoholic beverage," that he had been at a dinner with friends from the Los Angeles Angels, for whom he was working as a special advisor. La Russa was stopped near the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and he told the officer he had hit something and had a tire blow out, according to the affidavit. After a field sobriety test, La Russa was taken into custody. In the affidavit, the peace officer described him as "argumentative." https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30288007/chicago-white-sox-manager-tony-la-russa-charged-dui-stemming-february-arrest-court-docs-show So yeah, there's a decent chance there's video of LaRussa being a jerk to a Phoenix cop.

TaylorStSox Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm usually a Sox apologist. I have been for a long time. I have no fucking idea what this organization is thinking. It's just mind blowing. I feel bad for Rick Hahn. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Portillos mentioned the hire would kill our chances with FA. Money is always the great equalizer and Jerry better be willing to spend to overcome this mess. Unfortunately knowing our luck, we’ll trade any young talent not yet part of the core to fill holes cause Jerry is a cheap fuck and we’ll end up greatly shortening our window.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Jerry's latest FU to the fanbase. The LaRussa hiring has been his greatest to date. What an absolutely masterful way to bring a big dark cloud around one of the brightest teams in baseball. For...reasons... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely laughable to see him pompously attempt to claim some sort of moral high ground here. Go argue with a 12-year-old on Twitter you thin-skinned front office shill. I've said it before, Stone getting on Twitter has made me look so much respect for him. Just call the game, Steve.

Danny Dravot Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 My previous joke aside...is this really that bad? Sure, they should have done some due diligence and not hired a guy with these sorts of very recent legal (and moral) troubles, but canceling season tickets and players not showing up for ST? Is that a thing? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is Jerry knew and simply didn’t care, but when you’re undermining your own GM and making him look like a total asshole after winning Executive of the Year I guess that should be expected. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking the latter but we’ll see. Nightengale’s article is concerning. If this ends up with La Russa leaving, it’s because Tony decided it wasn’t worth the headache. Jerry is not firing his best bud when he already knew about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
