The La Russa Tapes

And when he ran out of options, did he call Bud Selig, who offered no assistance whatsoever, yet droned on and on and eventually put laRussa to sleep at the wheel?

 

There's the YouTube link in case anyone can't work The Smoking Gun.

 

Judging by how out of it he seemed and the fact that he blew a .09, I'd guess he had a bad reaction with some prescription medication.

Seriously, .09 isn't so fucked up you forget your ABC's.

 

what's a big league manager need a full-sized pickup truck for during spring training?

 

Well, it's LaRussa we're talking about here...

 

Unnecessarily Gigantic And/Or Extravagant Rental Car For Spring Training is written into every big-league manager's contract.

 

"We found you asleep at the wheel."
"Is that a problem"
"Well, yeah. You're in the middle of the intersection."

 

Hey, I've never been a big fan of LaRussa's but I think it's wrong for the police to release the tape to TV or whatever. When I went through what he went through, I wouldn't have wanted any tapes released to anyone. Would you? The man is embarrassed enough, this was simply unnecessary, in my humble opinion.

 

I always believe comedy takes precedence.

 

It's a form of public record; it has to be released.
