bmags Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hey guys, bob here to help his good friend. Omar is so happy to tell us he’s happy he can tell us what was said was false, but he can’t actually tell us because he settled! Oh and the domestic violence? Just the scorn of a rejected woman. Nightengale is a disgrace. https://t.co/3Ajnmu8W1x 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I read that earlier and thought it was strange. The good news is I don't think the article gets Omar anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Nightengale is the same ass clown who stated on The Score Tony La Russa’s DUI sentence was the equivalent of David Ross missing time because of the flu. Receipts https://soxmachine.com/2020/11/following-up-police-report-puts-some-tony-la-russa-words-on-the-record/ Quote Chuck Garfien – “so could Tony La Russa have to spend a night in jail during spring training or even a regular season game?” Bob Nightengale – “Well David Ross missed the first 3 games of the season with the flu.” Can’t.

JTB Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 “Insisting it was just clubhouse antics.” True or not that doesn’t make it OK and with a young man on the spectrum it’s even less OK. f*** him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I can’t go dry-hump employees in the corporate world, even if I am just joking around. I would be terminated immediately if it was reported to HR, which it would be. Vizquel is a moron.

cuban_sammiches Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This is what PR hacks get paid to do. Nightengale is just part of this whole industry. If it wasnt him, it would be some other "journalist." Vizquel has been banished from baseball (rightly so) and this is an attempt to feel the waters as to a possible return which would be worth millions. It aint going to happen. Thankfully, we draw the line at abusing autistic kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it seems a bit strange that any sportswriter would try to bring Omar Vizquel of all people back to the forefront of baseball and attempt to clear his name. How many baseball fans are currently wondering what Omar Vizquel is up to these days? Probably not even Indians fans. This sure seems like Jerry’s buddy providing a follow-up story so Jerry can claim ignorance about what was going on in the clubhouse regarding Vizquel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vizquel was on over 50% of Hall of Fsme ballots. He was trending toward getting in. That has to be worth some money to him as well as legacy. Now he’s cratered and has very little chance of being voted in and his legacy is that of a predator. My guess is this was a rehab piece to try to revive his chances. Who initiated…fair question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I can't help wondering if Omar ever went to a Treatment Center for sex addiction, or whatever they call it. I remember reading about him a few decades ago when he was still playing, and the subject was which MLBer led the league in getting laid. Allegedly, Omar had that distinction for several years. Probably a badge of honor back then. Who knows, there might be dozens of little Omars running around. Somehow, the White Sox got stuck with him.

Based on the article, that is what he wants to do. And it also appears that he has been completely ostracized.
