flavum Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It would be funny (not funny) if Tony got the DUI after leaving Reinsdorf’s house. “He seemed fine when he left.” What a mess this is. So easy not to hire this guy, and yet here we are. Please step aside, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If the team knew it and hired him anyway, he isn't going to step aside now. They wouldn't have hired him in the first place. I was against hiring him, that was before I knew he was a multiple DUI guy. He needs rehab. If he's sincere, it will help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Bochy is also an old school guy you never hear anyone have anything bad to say about him as a person. He is a class act. That alone makes him more qualified to be the new manager.

reiks12 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Luckily i am not affected in any way by drunk drivers, but i can imagine the rage i would feel right now towards this org if someone i loved died because of one.

At the time Tony did say that what you call an anti-Obama rally was not political. Seriously. (I know it was, you guys.) In Tony's defense, none of us should fault the guy for being a Republican. It's his right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Not Steve Cishek also tweeted that various White Sox players and staffers are mortified by the TLR situation and some speculate that Giolito is likely to sign a contract extension now than he was before but we all know how credible Not Steve Cishek is.

Lol Assuming any of this is true: 1) Yes, because the Tigers are dealing SOOOOO much scandal. 2) Leave Kenny and Rick holding the bag for a stupid ass decision is even more stupid ass. 3) "The promise to spend more was starting to outweigh this hire" - so La Russa's er...prestige?...was supposed to attract people?
