QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) I'm also coupling this with my belief that he's pretty weak mentally. He wasn't able to handly being a #1 starter or pitch in New York though he did dominate in the nothingness that is Montreal. He's very weak mentally. He often implodes if there is a call he dislikes by umps.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) There was an even larger disparity last year. Just win. Winning is the best revenge. I didn't hear anyone complaining about how the HBPs were handled in the Cleveland series. Anyone speaking up now is being a hypocrite. The main reason I'm angry about this is because I'm tired of AJ getting nailed for no reason; he gets punched in the face, escobar decides to throw at him, padilla throws at him twice, it's annoying. Eventually someone needs to step up and make it stop because our guys do seem to get hit intentionally(and that's the key) a lot without responding at all.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Am I the only one who thinks Dontrelle "the bird" Willis would get absolutely destroyed in the AL? He'd be good his first time around and then get absolutely torched afterwards.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Shut up! What happened during the Cleveland series? Count the HBPs for and against the White Sox. Everyone, not just Nuke, get your facts straight. It was an isolated incedent. Jeez, you'd think Pudeatya hit your mother the way some of you are reacting. It's baseball, and iunder the current warning system, you have to leave the score to be settled another day. Have a long memory. I'm not sure what the exact bean ball numbers are but I can tell you there has been a lot of f***in times where the sox have got warned for getting hit and nothing else. It gets very frusterating at times.

QUOTE(ChiSoxLifer @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Here's the recap of his two innings against the Injuns. 7th inning - B. Broussard walked - B. Broussard to second on wild pitch - B. Broussard to third on wild pitch - R. Belliard walked - T. Hollandsworth popped out to second - A. Boone singled to right, B. Broussard scored, R. Belliard to second - R. Vazquez popped out to first - G. Sizemore flied out to shallow left 8th inning J. Michaels homered to deep left - T. Hafner hit by pitch - V. Martinez flied out to deep center - B. Broussard popped out to shallow left - R. Belliard grounded into fielder's choice, T. Hafner out at second He just can't find the zone. Ozzie has said many times he doesn't care how hard a guy can throw. If he can't find the zone he won't be with the team. Ya, so then he brings him in the game, Tracey doesn't walk a guy and gets his out. Ozzie comes out pissed off at him cause he got an out, makes perfect sense.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Tracey is gone after this game.

f*** YOU AJ, STOP GETTING HIT

I'm very disappointed in our pitchers right now.

Hopefully Montero roided himself up to hit someone.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) I honestly think Tracey was told to hit the batter, and he didn't. Thus, Ozzie pulls him. Yeup, there's no doubt. I just said the exact same thing to willie.

Hit someone Sean.

I say throw Anderson out there for a batter, he'll stick up for AJ.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) This is why the system of administering warnings need to be changed. It shouldn't be based upon a rule, but an umpire looking at the entire situation. Is there history between a pitcher and a hitter? Did the HBP appear intentional? It gives a team free reign to hit a certain player, than when an umpire gives warnings, no retaliation can be given. Ya I agree, we still need to do something though, suspension or not. This team is dead right now and needs something to get the energy back up for future games.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) That was just embarassing. How can you go out like that? At least go down swinging. :headshake Agree, agree, agree. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) This better not turn into Minnesota and Tori Hunter 2k3. I was actually just going to post the same thing, exactly the game I thought of.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Did Hawk really expect there to be no warning given? It's amazing how many times the last few seasons the sox have got warned for doing absoutely jack s***. We're always the ones getting hit and can never do anything about it.

I'm waiting for the day when someone hits aj on purpose and he just gets fed up with this s*** and just kills the guy. I will enjoy that day.

I hope aj accidentally throws his bat at Padilla next.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) I'm not impressed with Mackowiak. You wouldn't be impressed with Pujols if he was on the Sox.

The odds of AJP getting hit twice in the same spot and on the first pitch unintentionally are slim and none.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:10 PM) There's plenty of time left in this game. If they wanted to hit AJP again, they could have waited a few innings when he wasn't leading off the inning. And trust me, with a 5-0 lead, Padilla's not going to risk getting tossed and losing out on the chance to get credit for the win. Bulls***. He's hit him in the same spot twice in a row, he's throwing at him, no doubt about it.

QUOTE(Huber14 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) hey fellow baseball fans, i am a reds fan and my friend is a white sox fan, we will be at the game friday, hopefully it will be a great game. Does anyone know what the white sox's line up will be since Thome is your DH, would they put him at first and maybe move Konerko to another postion? Konerko will play first the first two games of the series for sure with the possibility of Thome playing first on sunday. Paul won't be making any position changes either.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) What happened to all the people who always told other Sox fans to root for "our division" when the Twins were in the playoffs? According to their logic, we should be rooting for the Tigers right now. That's a completely different scenario.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) Just saw that, looked more like an ephus. That's probably what it was but it didn't seem to have as much arch as I remember when he used to throw that pitch. And Aaron still loves being hit by pitches.

El duque just struck out Bobby Abreu with a 56 mph curve ball.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:39 PM) http://www.rotoauthority.com/ Chris Young is also mentioned down in the article. Would anyone be upset if Pods was not brought back next year in favor of Fields in LF? I have no problem with that at all BUT we'd need to find a leadoff hitter to play short then.
