    This story is getting more nutty by the day. Chris Sale is livid about the decision not to allow Drake LaRoche in the clubhouse all the time, and there's a big divide on that team for this issue. I wish I could fly to Vegas right now and bet 6 months rent on the under wins total. Tweets relating to Sale: From Bill Shaikin: "Chris Sale said Ken Williams told "bald-faced lie," variously blamed teammtes, coaches and management for change in Drake La Roche's access." From Daryl Van Schouwen, White Sox Beat Writer: "Sale: 'Right person would have been handled different. This isn’t us rebelling against rules, it’s us rebelling against BS. Plain and simple'" "Sale: 'We were a steam engine going ahead and kind of derailed it. There was absolutely no problem in here & [KW] kind of created a problem'" According to outfielder Adam Eaton, the MLBPA will get involved, because LaRoche’s contract included a clause for Drake’s presence in the clubhouse.

    Over. I think they surprise a lot of people and end up as AL East Division Champs.

    Hopefully we don't have to wait too long to see Berrios back up in the MLB... Now that Meyer's out of the running for a spot in the MLB bullpen, he should get another shot at starting in AAA. For those that have seen him pitch this year, is he showing the same symptoms that got him off track last year? Weird arm angles, never knowing where the pitch is going to go kind of symptoms?

    Guys, how did we all forget about this? Kids have been on Chicago baseball teams before..... Too bad Drake LaRoche didn't break his arm in the past to gain a rocket arm! http://cdn1.bloguin.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/110/2015/10/henry-rowengartner.jpg

    Hmm, that's too bad for Morneau. The opportunity is certainly there for the taking with the White Sox.

    Before we crown LaRoche as father of the year, let's also look at the other side of the coin here. Long ago, LaRoche prioritized bringing Drake with him over traditional schooling. He goes to class in winter. In Viera, he brings schoolwork with him and sees a private tutor at a Sylvan Learning Center. They live in a small Kansas town, and LaRoche arranged Drake’s education with the public school. LaRoche said Drake’s school is fine so long as Drake passes standardized tests. “We’re not big on school,” LaRoche said. “I told my wife, ‘He’s going to learn a lot more useful information in the clubhouse than he will in the classroom, as far as life lessons.’ ” Source Look, it's his kid, he can raise him how he wants. At the end of the day, he's pigeon-holing his kid on future advancement. Doesn't sound like he makes homework or schooling in general a high priority. Instead spending time in the clubhouse is a much higher priority. I don't know how that kid 1 - ever had a childhood and made friends his own age 2 - ever gets accepted into a college/technical school, whatever he chooses to do. The reality today is that a Bachelor's degree is the equivalent of a high school diploma in the past. If you don't have it, your job prospects are few are far between.

    Top O' the mornin' to ya lads! Hope your cups are full of Irish coffee so far! St. Patrick's Day. The day of drinking irish coffee, green beer, and topping the night off with Jameson shots. Today is also National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day! A nice hearty meal to go with all of the liquor today!

    Good game threadin lady and gents. The rust from the offseason is gone, and now we're a well oiled machine. I'm dropping the mic on this note: Sano is so athletic, if he pats you on the back you would list it on your resume. DiscGolfer drinks.

    Is North hibernating before the real game threads begin?
  11. Vanimal46
    I like that. I'm seasonal with wines. During the winter its reds. malbecs and cabs. Summer months I switch to whites. Pinot Gris and cab sauvignon.
  12. Vanimal46
    I'm starting to get even more bars near my apartment. One has a special for $1 mimosas all day on Sunday. The game threads I host on the weekends are going to be ridiculous.
  13. Vanimal46
    Hmm I am intrigued. Sweet? Dry?
  14. Vanimal46
    I don't know, probably. It's a service where they pick up whatever you need (food, alcohol) and deliver it to your door.
  15. Vanimal46
    Is Favor Delivery a thing where you live? It may be one of mankind's best inventions

    I may be a rookie but that's intern work! My intern will return in season 2 of Twins Whine Line feeding you hot Twins takes!

    Sano is so athletic, on the back of his baseball card it reads 260 lbs of pure athleticism. DiscGolfer drinks.
  18. Vanimal46
    Sano is so athletic his feet don't get blisters; his cleats do. DiscGolfer drinks.

    If we're going with chain Italian restaurants Carrabbas is my choice over Olive Garden.
  20. Vanimal46
    Olive Garden does have fantastic bread sticks. The rest of the experience, meh.

    There's no such thing as Taco Johns down here. Taco Cabana, Taco Shack, Torchy's Tacos... somehow Taco Bell survives down here. And a taco truck pretty much anywhere in the city.
  22. Vanimal46
    You're speaking my language Chief. That and Whataburger make living in the south a thing of beauty.
  23. Vanimal46
    Sano is so athletic he no longer uses ketchup. People need to ketchup to his athleticism. DiscGolfer drinks.
  24. Vanimal46
    Now I got to thinking about six pack and a pound from Taco Johns.. someone tell me the potato oles are still on point.
  25. Vanimal46
    Sano is so athletic he thinks a six pack and a pound is a new exercise regimen. DiscGolfer drinks.
