QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) I just got back from the game. Phew I can hoenstly see why people want to take sides in an argument, but honestly I am just glad they handled it like men and are keeping it in the clubhouse. No bulls*** Cubs fights, anger mgmt etc. Yeah, I guess as much as AJ tried to pull a Zambrano by showing up his teammate in front of everyone, at least Jake drug him back to the clubhouse to make his point.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) It's amazing how many people are using their hate of Peavy/contract to defend AJ's actions. It doesn't matter who the pitcher or catcher was in the situation. It's irrelevant. Let me spin this around another way for people who are using this as a bash Peavy thing. How about the next time AJ misses throwing out a runner by 10 feet if Jake points into the dugout? Or the next time a pitcher walks the bases loaded in front of AJ with no one out, and AJ swings at the first pitch and pops out weekly to second, is it then OK for the runner on third to point into the dugout for a guy who can hit?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Hawk during postgame never asked AJ about the Peavy deal tonight. Get some balls Hawk. He wasn't going to ask him because he knows his boy was in the wrong.

QUOTE (skidoochic @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Seriously???? You are being very argumentative. Be happy. We f'n won! Damn, and if we lost we could have rioted...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) Jake can go cry to his wife while he is cashing his $16 million paycheck. If anyone can see whether a pitcher is done, it's his catcher. I don't give a damned what peoples' opinions are of AJ...he is one of the few smart players on this team and one of the few players' whose desire to win I do not question. So you wait the 15 seconds it takes for Ozzie to get the mound. You don't show up your teammates. Period.

QUOTE (skidoochic @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) ohhh- that's just hateful. Here you need to chill! And calling someone a crybaby isn't?

QUOTE (skidoochic @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) I'm sorry, but I don't buy that. Peavy is a crybaby, but you and I can disagree. BTW, Comcast is praising A.J. right now! AJ is an ass. There really isn't any argument there.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) AJ won the game with his triple and probably saved the game by letting Ozzie & Coop know that Peavy had nothing left. If they leave Peavy in, the Sox probably lose. Too bad they didn't listen to AJ in that Oakland game. Jesus even Hawk said he was done. The entire planet knew Peavy was coming out.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) What's a Kustok? One of the personalities on CSN.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) When has having too much fresh air ever hurt anybody? Since when has Chicago had fresh air?

QUOTE (skidoochic @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) I'm with you ROC. I mean to me it looks like Peavy couldn't pitch and he was blaming his ineffectiveness on A.J. Not cool. Besides, who didn't want Peavy pulled when A.J. was motioning for it???? That is totally besides the point. You'd be pissed off too if you got shown up in front of your teammates and a stadium of people.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Let's let that L flag get some fresh air Fresh air? That s*** has been flying all year on the north side.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Because you have no response. You probably didnt even take the 5 seconds it takes to look up what the guy does in the offseason, which is probably more than 99 percent of the people on this board. But instead its "he sits around and eats cinnabons." I know of several pitchers that dont pick up a ball during the offseason, and some start throwing just a few weeks before ST. Each player is different and its clear with his ridiculously consistent performance over his career that his offseason routine has been good for him. Buehrle was one of them until two years ago.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Brian, you're wrong on this one, AJ's actions are indefensible. I rip Peavy as much as the next guy, but this isn't about how he was performing, or AJ backers vs Peavy backers based on anything in the past. Here's what happened, I posted this in the game thread: When Peavy gives up that last hit, as Soriano scores you can briefly see AJ give the "get him out of here" heave-ho sign with his right arm and his right pointer finger extended. Then as he walks towards the mound, he's staring into the dugout just waiting, begging for the change. He basically showed Peavy up, and Peavy saw it. It started before they were both on the mound and Ozzie made the change. Can't really fault Peavy, that's not a good move by a catcher regardless of whether he should be taken out, you just don't do that. And that is why teammates hate AJ.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) But he's not productive...so that fact doesn't matter. We aren't talking about Adam Dunn from 2004 to 2010. We are talking about the 2011 Adam Dunn who has no confidence, a poor swing and is just an awful batter right now. The past is the past, what's important is now. So what you are saying is we should have cut Paul Konerko in 2003.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) Denver is an absolutely gorgeous city and Coors Field is a beautiful park. Was there for a week last month for lacrosse and I absolutely fell in love with that city. Caught a Rocks/Giants game and got to see CarGo vs Lincecum. You are going to need a hot shower to wipe J4L's jizz off of your leg.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) I know Dunn is the equivalent to Paul Pfeiffer when it comes to hitting lefties. But Doug Davis? If you have no faith in him against Doug Davis then I don't know what to say. He needs the day off. He isn't right, and the home crowd is brutalizing him every at bat. It isn't like it is going to hurt anything with the way he is going.

No Dunn, Gordo back in.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah, I just want to be sure that I'm not paying $100+ to look at a pole all night. FWIW Section 528 row 3 is what I'm looking at. That part I can't help you with.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Well...if not that, I wonder if that's an exercise to try to help him keep his eye on the ball a bit better. I'm guessing it is something mental to just break his mind set up a little bit.

The best way to answer greg, is with greg. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) I could point to quote after quote in past articles why I love Ozzie. KW should be fired. This team he put together is dogs***. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) As far as Rosner, who cares? Like you said, they were goofing around and filling airtime. I heard it. I thought it was OK. And as far as the Dunn argument, uh, he's right. You don't pinch hit for Dunn ever. It's his opinion and it happens to be right. His Pierre discussion with Gonzales was great. He brought up all the Sox talk points and they both threw out the pros and cons. The bottom line is he's a good host and just because he doesn't agree with you guys on Pierre doesn't mean s***. I really truly don't think Rongey cares what you all think of him. He shouldn't. Fans are fanatics and lunatics and hear what they want to hear. Whether you guys want to believe it or not, Pierre's been hitting about .260 and a lot of guys on the team suck balls worse than Pierre.

The question of the ages is up. If you had to pick the GM or the manager to come back next year, which one would it be?

It just seems apt. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) I apologize, Mrs. Walker. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 07:53 AM) What a unique and original joke. How on Earth did you come up with it so quickly?

This paragraph is why I love Kenny. If he or Ozzie has to go, I hope to god it is Ozzie.
