Pants Rowland Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Yes. The White Sox let him have his "Religious Freedom" night or whatever the hell it was last year hosted at US Cellular by a bigot. He's a weirdo. I'm glad he's gone. Wait, I never heard this one. Please elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) He trashed the organization by saying the organization made me choose, and I pick my son over all of my teammates." The big point in the story is the he says KW asked him to dial back the kid's presence and he said no. He then states that KW told him that his son wasn't allowed at all. KW insisted that there was no comment that he wasn't allowed. You can believe who you want but considering others children have been allowed into the clubhouse since the incident, I'll go with KW's side. If that is the case Adam lied about the situation to make the organization look bad. That's not really trashing the organization. It's true. He had to choose. Not choose between retiring and his son, but between bringing his son and not. That doesn't make the Sox look bad at all. And plus none of us know the whole story.

Btw, this whole Bangkok trip puts the "battle of good versus evil" quotes into their rightful context of pimps/traffickers and away from an accusation against KW and the Sox.

Steve9347 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 LaRoche lies throughout this article and sounds like a dumbass parent who thinks his kid is more special than anyone else's. Two infuriating parts of this article: But Drake was different, he says: "the exception to the rule." He began to accompany his father to the field at the start of spring training in 2011, LaRoche's first year with the Nationals. By the second day, LaRoche says, 9-year-old Drake was shining shoes and picking up baseballs after drills and feeding tees. LaRoche says it got to the point where teammates would wonder what happened when Drake wasn't there. Yeah, you dumb f***. It's like when you wonder why your teacher didn't show up or your boss isn't there. It's not because you're sad, it's because "holy s*** this is amazing!" "I would go to those managers every year," he says. "I would tell them, 'Listen, if there's ever an issue, specifically if a player comes up to you, you've got to let me know.'" So what the f*** changed you dumb f*** you. "You can say, 'That's no place for a kid to be,'" LaRoche says. "The way I see it, he's going to be around that regardless, unless you home-school and raise them in a bubble. I can't think of a better place for him to be when he gets a taste of that than with me." You stupid f***, Adam LaRoche. Being around it with children your own age and growing with them is different than being around a bunch of testosterone-filled professional idiots. Does Drake? "Honestly, I think he sees it as more time to hunt and fish," Adam says. Notice the complete lack of ever talking about development or schooling. F*ck you and your stupid f***ing kid, Adam LaRoche.

Texsox Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So his wife doesn't trust him and makes him bring the son along as a chaperone during the baseball season.

Adam Eaton as LaRoche's sidekick " the bearded clam" . Cameo by Chris Sale whom enjoys torturing his naked victims by slinging upper 90's fastballs at their genitalia. The cocked crusaders will torture their victims in the name of the Lord because it is the Lord's will! Movie shot in the latest technology the film industry has to offer, Gopro-vision.

The Sir Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm pissed at Laroche. I have a young son. I wish I could bring him to work with me. But I can't. And I certainly couldn't bring him in and let him become the center of attention like Drake was. And if my job performance sucked last year, I know that any generosity my employers might have had towards me would have ended real quick. So I get it, and I am certainly on the White Sox' side. That said, can ya'll chill with the Bangkok conspiracy talk? It's moronic and juvenile, to be honest. I doubt these missions actually help sex slaves and I'm personally uncomfortable with being around pimped out preteens in bikinis, but I am 100% confident that Laroche and Boyer were not there to diddle Thai "ladyboys". Some of the comments just make it seem less like you're pissed at what he did (sucking at baseball, demanding special treatment and abandoning his teammates- which is fair IMO) and more pissed at who he is (which is douchey).
