Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 1 minute ago, thxfrthmmrs said: I specifically said drinking and driving, that is the offense. He drinks, so does many other citizens in this country, but I don’t think he has a constant drinking and driving problem. So you think he was one of the mathematical improbability of people who just did it twice and happened to get caught twice? You're an analytical thinker; what do you think the odds are that Tony has driven drunk twice in 13 years and gotten caught both times? I think tomorrow I'm going to be more pissed as Jose Abreu wins an MVP - after a disturbingly sad journey to the USA, and then working his ass off after he arrived to become great - and he's forced to answer questions about this because his bosses didn't speak up before his big moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying if this is a constant habit for him he would have been caught a lot more times. He can’t handle alcohol well if he’s swerving all over the road at .09.

To add on, in both DUIs he was 0.01-0.015 over the limit, he was either sleeping at the wheel or swerving all over. So yes, the probability of someone who is heavily impaired by alcohol driving impaired and getting away without DUI or any serious accidents is pretty low.

Wouldn’t he have crashed his car and had to get help from AAA or worse yet injured himself and made the news if he frequently drives impaired? Again this is someone who is severely impaired at .09, imagine what he would have been like at 0.12, 0.15, because people without severe alcohol problems don’t stop at 0.09.

I’m sure Tony won’t congratulate him, just like he hasn’t acknowledged the Silver Sluggers. But hey, at least he uses twitter to promote his own endeavors.

They're not doing their job if they don't ask Jose about his new manager. It absolutely sucks for Jose to be put in that situation if it happens but that's 100 percent on the Sox and you can't blame a reporter for asking Abreu about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdGen Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 He also recently had hip replacement surgery. May have been an interaction with drugs that caused the excessive issues at .09. And NO, I am not encouraging or endorsing mixing alcohol and pain pills. That is stupid. Just being very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Every day that this carries on...good coaches are potentially signed elsewhere. Management needs to dump TL or say he's the man. To say nothing should not be an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ'S Cousin Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) we now have our own Jerry Krause. Stroman won't come here for Bauer Money and Bauer probably won't come either. JR won't compete with Met's, Angel, Padres, Yankee's, and Dodgers. These teams are serious about winning. We hire TLR, not Hinch, not Cora, not Bochy or whoever else was out there. He's going to be toxic to quality free agents. Not that I believe that Stroman was the the beat all end all, BUT, him calling TLR a racist, is a bad sign. Jerry Krause couldn't sign anybody of qualityitly and the Bulls always settled for the 3rd, 4th or 5th choice and overpaid. Now, before yo jump on me i know TLR is not the GM and signing players is RH, KW and JR. But the manager is looked at before a player signs. I had a very positive outlook for 2021, but this signing of TLR could ruin the chemistry of this team.

Not asking the question is exactly what Reinsdorf wants. He wants for time to go by, pretend this doesn’t exist and it will all go away over time.
