Chris Sale was sent home from U.S. Cellular Field after cutting up throwback jerseys that he did not want to wear

[Chuck]

This story takes another fascinating turn. Via FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal: "Sale asked that they not wear (throwbacks) on his day because they are uncomfortable. Things escalated when they wouldn't relent." Sale went after the jerseys with a knife during pregame batting practice, and then apparently exchanged some words with members of the White Sox front office for putting merchandise sales ahead of winning. He could be traded before the August 1 deadline, though that wouldn't really have anything to do with this odd incident. Matt Albers is starting in Sale's place on Saturday night against the Tigers.

Amazing!

He gets paid good money to play professional baseball. This is not professional behavior no matter how ugly the uniforms.

Jose Alvarez & Craig Gentry for Chris Sale. 

Make it happen, Eppy!

"That's right!"

Between this and Sale's hilarious reaction towards the LaRoche incident, it's becoming more clear that this dude is kind of a petulant baby

[IEAngelsfan]

Is he a child in a man's body?

Lou?

On ESPN radio they're taking him apart right now. 

"An overgrown baby"

 "...amazing level of arrogance that you think you can destroy all the jerseys so nobody else can wear them."

"...a 7-year old would get in trouble for this."

Sale's days in Chicago are numbered.

 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

With that attitude, he would make a great Yankee.

[Angel Oracle]

Were they the late 70s 1800s style unis with the shorts in hot weather?

Childish behavior any way you slice it

According to the story they were uncomfortable. I seem to recall that George Costanza once had the Yankees wearing cotton uniforms with disastrous results.

Maybe Sale really hates Chicago and just wants to force their hand on trading him.

Poor baby. 

Marines who wear nothing but uncomfortable uniforms doing far more for far less money would get thrown in jail for such a stunt. 

Sale is a giant piece of shit. 

Actually military uniforms are quite comfortable. It's everything else that goes on top, or attaches that's uncomfortable.

Could be. I read that Dave LaRoche wanted to be the player rep because reps under  Calvin Griffith were traded.

[Jobu]

Maybe Chrissy can use this for his uncomfortable uniform... 

[Bobster7587]

I don't think I've ever been so intrigued by a thread title. What a ridiculous story. Sounds like Sale has some crazy anger issues.

I wish I were in your military. 

I wore 3-4 dress uniforms per day for ceremonies for 4 years, and they were not comfortable.

Fatigues/cammies were great, though.  We didn't get to wear them very often, though, lol.  

Don't listen to Kody about uniforms. He wears a onesie to work.

[Brandon]

Trade an All-Star pitcher because he acted like a bitch about uniforms? Some of you guys are nuts.

[zenmaster]

White Sox must enjoy seeing his trade value diminish by throwing a hissy fit. What a panzy.

He was already said to have been on the block before today's incident.

he could kill a baby and it wouldn't diminish his trade value. he's a top 5 pitcher in baseball, maybe 1,2 with kershaw.

Truth be told, I was most uncomfortable in our PT gear. I had the upper half to rock the skivvy shirt like any other marine, but not gonna lie, I've got woman legs. They're too pretty to be a man's and I was made fun of mercilessly.

As for the dress and service uni's, the only thing that really bothered me were the shirt stays. I hardly ever wore them, was deployed most of the time, but the new desert boots were clunkers compared to the older, thinner ones. I traded them out. I was actually out of regulation, but no one in our command cared.
