    He who says it, does it. That one is completely on you.
  2. Squirrel
    Oh, come on ... that's too easy since you were planning to do so anyway. REPORT! REPORT!

    This couldn't have been a written clause in LaRoche's contract or Kenny Williams wouldn't have/couldn't have handled it in this manner. I think it was a verbal agreement gone awry, misunderstood, or larger in scope than thought.

    Um, isn't that what I said?

    Talking to a few Sox fans around here, most are rolling their eyes and saying 'Good riddance' to LaRoche. I'm not sure it was a written clause in LaRoche's contract ... I thought it was a hand-shake side agreement LaRoche made with Ventura, but that makes it interesting if it was an actual, written clause in his contract. How stupid to agree to something like that ... I mean, I couldn't imagine any management agreeing to that and having it put into writing. And I'm not sure at the time if it was understood it meant 100% of the time. Most here are guessing that some players didn't like it and that's why Williams has responded now to it rather than during the off-season. And Chris Sale doesn't really care about the kid, but rather is mad at Williams 'sticking his nose' into clubhouse business. Well, good. Maybe he'll be so mad he'll want a trade ... how about Nolasco for Sale straight up?

    Okay ... stick to topic of don't post. Leave the personal jabs out of it.

    This is being discussed in the article thread in the minor forum. Here's the link. Please continue discussion there. Thanks.

    Oh good Lord ... how is President Obama being 'kingly?' I'm sorry, but that is just Republican-speak for "I don't want the Senate to confirm an Obama appointment.'

    Um ... I don't think it's televised for any of us to see ... lower presence in game threads when that's the case. At least At Bat isn't showing me an option to view, only an option to listen. But I'm at work, so neither is really an option for me.

    I don't think that was the issue, though. He did help out with jobs, i.e. cleaning cleats. The issue was 100% of the time, and how do you handle that when others on the team come in with these same requests? It was to the point for the Sox that they needed to draw the line for future precedence. It was a business decision, best for the team, and they were surprised that LaRoche took the 'all or nothing' stance. I don't think either party here is 'wrong' in their choices. But I think the Sox made an appropriate decision (which wasn't 'not at all,' btw) which was best for the team and LaRoche made a decision that was best for him personally. To me, that's it. There's really no issue here.

    I'm sorry, but in the end, it should be what's best for the team and not what's best for Adam LaRoche and his son. If he wants to quit over that, that's his choice based on his priorities. And if Williams wants to let him quit because it's better for the Sox over all, then so be it. It's a business and the Sox do not need to run their business with consideration to a 14 yr olds life education. And if teammates are uncomfortable going about their business and speaking their minds in the clubhouse or wherever because someone's kid is around, I think that should trump any personal arguments LaRoche has for his son being with him 100% of the time. It's not about what kind of life lessons Drake will learn in the locker room, it's about how players feel having him around. If they are uncomfortable with that, then LaRoche is not a good teammate to not consider that. Yes, I get why he would choose his son over the team, and he's done that. His choice, good for him. But I don't think the White Sox are the 'bad guys' here one iota.

    In a few years ... a lot of time between now and then, so, yes, I agree with Chief on this.

    I love corned beef and cabbage, and there are many places in Chicago to get it. However, those places will be packed to the gills, and I have to work tonight, so corned beef and cabbage will have to wait. And Irish coffee will have to wait, too. Green beer? Haven't done that since college. You do the math. Thankfully the St. Patrick's Day parade in Chicago happened over last weekend, while I was gone. The one event I truly dread. You can't go anywhere in the city and not be overrun with drunken, vomiting, passed out people ... and this is at 11am. Well, that and the Blackhawks Stanley Cup parade and celebration. But I think we'll miss that this year.

    They say it with a straight face because I think they actually believe in what they say, which is scarier, imo.

    I tell you what ... if they do another pub crawl this summer, and I'm able to attend, remind me, and I'll bring you a bottle. Binny's is less than a mile from me.

    I got a very nice souvenir at ST the other week.
  19. Squirrel
    Looks like Binny's sells it.

    And a road trip adventure if I take the Archer Ave bus.
  21. Squirrel
    Heads up running by Quentin!
  22. Squirrel
    Just so long as you don't put 'DiscGolfer drinks' on one of them.

    61st and Archer? sheesh ... that's like by Midway. I could just find something in Pilson ... better and closer.
  24. Squirrel
    We have GrubHub.

    Um, well ... I went to Taco Bell instead of Taco John.
