Among all the upsets this weekend, perhaps the most surprising was the way perspective came up with a win in the White Sox’s March madness over the Adam LaRoche embarrassment.
But first came an additional spasm of stupid in the LaRoche ridiculousness, so let’s take it in that order.
LaRoche, you’ll recall, decided to quit on his teammates because his employer wanted to reduce the amount of time his 14-year-old son should spend in an adult workplace.
Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf tried to end the stupidity of pottymouth exchanges, of Chris Sale accusing executive vice president Ken Williams of lying, of the franchise turning into a national laughingstock because of the players’ crazed, juvenile reaction over a juvenile.
