Thad Bosley Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I do wonder what the fan bases of the A’s and Cardinals think of LaRussa, in general, given the success he had with both of those organizations. Because now for the second time in his career, he’s become very unpopular with the White Sox base. The drama he created in his first go-around that eventually resulted in the ouster of Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall made him extremely unpopular with the fans back then, and he was booed mercilessly every time he popped his head out of the dugout. Now with this second DUI business, on top of the already-questionable decision to rehire him, he’s once again very unpopular with White Sox fans. I suspect he’ll get booed quite loudly at the park once again the way things are going, even if the team is successful. The irony is Reinsdorf sided with LaRussa over Caray and Piersall, and thought the fans treated LaRussa unfairly as a result. I think with bringing LaRussa in to most probably preside over a White Sox championship or two, Reinsdorf figured he’d be providing him an opportunity to receive the love of the fan base that he never had the first time around. Looks like he probably figured wrong. Edited November 15, 2020 by Thad Bosley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 In this thread we have managed to get everyone an InBev laid off, and get sued by Tony LaRussa for defamation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if JR did anything to make those charges disappear? Next year's baseball season is ruined for me. I'm not going to lie and say I won't watch, but I cannot root for TLR or Reinsdorf at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Not to belittle the seriousness of this, but with it being dealt with, we know the Sox are moving forward with LaRussa. The team made a good move with a pitching coach, and there are hints they could be active this winter. Now we can (and should) focus on the team and what it will look like come spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Something was odd with this case from the get go. Wasn't the DA in intensive care when the charges were filed 9 months after the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious that you think this is funny or cool. Yes, how great that rich and wealthy people like La Russa with billionaire friends don't actually have to follow the law and can endanger peoples lives with no repercussions.

Baron Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 You guys really need to watch DUI Lawyer on Youtube. Seems like these cases get dropped really often and this is why you refuse tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had three friends get DUI's in college (not saying I pick smart friends) but all 3 of them were dropped for different reasons ... basically it's very easy to get out of one. You pay like $5-10k and there's a way out. I'd guess he'll need to have a device in his car or something, go to a few classes, etc in exchange for drpped charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very clearly finds this funny and not to be a big deal. As do many old drunk dullards on the internet who have gone through their lives with no regard for others.

EloyJenkins Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'm upset even more now that the sox knew that Jerry pulled some strings and avoided it for nearly two days before that lame half statement. they should have had a press statement ready the second that this whole thing came to light. Instead the media and fans blasted them for 2 days. This reeks of Jerry's arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is too conspiracy ... if the sox were really trying to cover this up then they would've just waited the 10 days to get this dropped and nobody would be to the wiser. there was no rush to go get TLR. These things get pleaded out all the time. Pay $10k for a lawyer, get charges dropped, take a class, drive with a breathlyzer in your car for a year. No court during covid. saves everybody time/money. TLR - still a shitty human, but this is the way DUI's work a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
