We only had 6 realistic SP to begin with, and #6 wasn't someone you really wanted to rely on. Going to need to find a new 5th SP, a couple other depth options in a hurry. Prepare yourself for a NRI 5th starter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Even if the 1000 to 1 came in, and she made everything up, it's yet another huge distraction. Another unforced error by the White Sox front office. My God, how are these people still making decisions? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Everyone is quick to blame the Sox front office for this...I think the bigger picture here is how awful the MLB truly is. Bauer process played out awful, nearly 2 decades of steroids mishandling, Astros getting a hand slap for admitted cheating – why do any of us love this sport ran by either morons or just plain greed? Gosh I hate this scenario, MLB, the White Sox and MOST importantly that piece of trash human if he is indeed guilty of any allegation here (he is).

Remember what happened to Patrick Kane? Due process pertains to trial in court. My employer can easily and rightfully retain the right to dump me based on what we are seeing so far on Clevinger. You want an athlete to have special advantages. Which they do.

The White Sox try to sell themselves as a family friendly team. Moreso than probably any other professional team in town. Yet they have traded for wife beaters Meyers., signed multiiple wife beaters now. Remember Wil Cordero?, had a 2 time DUI guy manage the team...It's really pathetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 minute ago, southsider2k5 said: This is exactly why victims are afraid to report. THEY get put on trail instead of the actual criminals. False reporting is such a small sliver of reports, and of those, people who are willing to report are also a small fraction of those who are abused. This post shows exactly how little you know about this topic. Victims should be put on trial in regard to the facts and the allegations (not they themselves). In the same way witnesses to murders are. You aren't throwing out an allegation you are ruining a man's life. The burden of proof is on the accuser for a reason in the court of law and should be in the court of public opinion as well. If true then he will get what he deserves but there are numerous incidents of false allegations related to famous people and not famous people.

Highland Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 9 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: Remember, the White Sox traded for a wife beater once. Someone who was seen doing it by several witnesses on the streets of Boston. Not only this, but someone from the Boston FO had gone down to the field as soon as the last game of the season was over and told this guy he was gone. They couldn't get rid of him fast enough, but he ended up on the White Sox. I don't know what the White Sox knew or didn't know. On a far less serious note, Adam LaRouche used to have his son hanging around when he was on the Nationals. The Sox signed him anyway and then finally had to address the problem. Everybody has a right to have their day in court. I think the investigation needs to go on before the Sox do anything. But if it ends up that the evidence points to his guilt, the FO can't sit on its hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
