Dick Allen Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Friday July 3 is a company holiday for me but I'm thinking of taking the 2nd off too. Where is your fire? Where is your passion? You might be a nice guy, but I really wonder if you are up to being a poster on a message board.

I told him take weekend to be there for family. That was my decision." jon greenberg added, jon greenberg @jon_greenberg 20m20 minutes ago Does anyone really care about this? Agreed 1000%. I can't believe this is even a big deal to some people. I am not a fan of Robin but I have no problem with him taking 3 days off to travel cross country to see a once in a lifetime event for his daughter.

Interesting thing about that tweet is Robin's words at the end of that.. "This was my decision." I never thought for one second it wasn't but that statement makes me thing he is wondering if people think management told him to take a break? or...

Quin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Can I take next Friday-Sunday off for a wedding? Friday is needed to make the six hour drive, though probably longer post knee-surgery, Saturday is the wedding and Sunday is the drive back? Is that acceptable?

flavum Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Basically, he said Robin offered to fly overnight from LA (or whatever) to St. Pete, manage Sunday, and fly to Pittsburgh with the team. Rick told him that was too much, enjoy his time off, and join the team on Monday in Pittsburgh refreshed. Pretty simple decision. Moving on...

I went on a vacation and got Montezuma's revenge the last day. I called in sick the day I was supposed to return to the clinic. It was against company policy to take a sick day either before or after a vacation day so I was docked a day's pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick told him that was too much, enjoy his time off, and join the team on Monday in Pittsburgh refreshed. Pretty simple decision. Moving on... Damn. This shows true work ethic. Robin offered to fly back to manage on Sunday. Kudos to Hahn for telling him to take the whole weekend off. I wish the people on here would reconsider their position on Robin missing these games. The guy normally works more than 70 hours a week easy during baseball season and gets paid for 40 hours. The guy is going to his daughter's graduation and volunteered to come back for Sunday's game. If he came back Sunday he would be a complete idiot. The Scrooges should just admit they were wrong and wish Robin well. Finally, I repeat: Robin managing the games means nothing. A trained chimp could manage a baseball game. He's an average to rotten manager to begin with. Cut the guy some slack. Admit you were wrong, please!

Nobody who has even a minor league contract expects to work less than 80-100 hours a week without overtime. If you treat baseball as a 9 to 5 job as a player or front office person, you won't last long. Of ocourse, the off season is more relaxed but still not typical, either.

I didn't want to stick around my out of state school an extra week to attend graduation, but figured it was something I should do or I'd regret it forever. I stayed and was bored that week waiting for graduation and indeed thought graduation was very boring. I did convince my parents not to make the 500 mile drive and they reluctantly agreed to not come. I probably should have let them come because I'm now convinced graduations are more for parents than the graduates. And mine paid for education so it would have been a way for me to thank them. At any rate, it was very boring. Robin will be bored but proud to support his daughter. Nice of the Sox to let him skip three meaningless games to honor his flesh and blood.

I don't think he will be bored. He will be forced to fight his way through a gauntlet of White Sox fans booing him for not staying with the team. My guess is he will head out to a bar to watch all 3 games between graduation events and try and manage the team via his cell phone. ......................
