LaRussa charged with DUI

[Angels 1961]

A day before he was hired by White Sox.

[angelsnationtalk]

LaRussa doesn't give a **** !

[T.G.]

I'd drink too if I had to work in that crime infested city

[failos]

What a joke. Why drive if you’re going to get sloshed 

[ukyah]

now that is a story. i think this is his 2nd dui, if memory serves. that's going to play really well in the chicago media, like piranha to dead meat.

there's an angle to this that already exists, which is that he's behind the times. dui's like this can very easily and reasonably be argued as an affirmation of that line of thinking.

Quote

When reached by ESPN on Monday night, La Russa said, "I have nothing to say," and he hung up the phone.

Lol

I really hope Renteria wins MOY just to add fuel to this goat fuck

just for the sake of accuracy in the thread. he was arrested in february, but was not charged until october due to a paperwork snaffu. also, the white sox knew about it ahead of the hiring, or so it seems.

What an incredible leader. Doesn’t he have a couple of these things already? I get that he’s 100 years old and doesn’t care anymore. But dude has plenty of money to get a driver or pay for an Uber Black or whatever. Guys an utter tool! Glad he’s no longer an Angel and I bet he’s not long for the White Sox either.

The White Sox can know about it. But it means nothing till the media and their fans know about it. Luckily baseball is in its dead zone period and no one cares about the White Sox.

that means the Angels knew about it first.  

[rottiesworld]

He had nothing to say and hung up, that was because he was drinking and can’t do both.

That was my thought also- the Angels must have known, yet never saw it in the press.

Glad this asshole is no longer involved with the Angels

[arch stanton]

I Deon't have an thing against La Russa personally. I just wonder what he's done in the last decade to make anyone feel compelled to pay him money for that service

As far as I can tell, the only thing I've seen him do is drink.

One would think he would have agreed to some plea bargain between the arrest and the filing of charges.

Glad to see that kind of decision-making influence has been flushed out of the Angels front office.

What does that say about the Angels, that they had a DUI executive on a team where a player got killed by a DUI a few years ago?

He is 76. He was probably doing 35 MPH with his left blinker on

The problem was he turned right from the eft hand turn lane.

Not to mention they had another executive supplying opioids to a player who died of an overdose.
