WSoxMatt Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 During a Gamebreak, KK had the balls to say he thought Buehrle was throwing at Hafner because this is a heated rivalry. What a friggin idiot...Rick Manning who does TV for the Indians even said that 1 got away and Hafner was very slow to react. The last thing we need is for this dumbass to be saying Buehrle is throwing at Haf. But hey thanks for the retaliation, Dye steals a base and scores on Crede's double!! Seems everytime Westbrook got into the stretch, we lit him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I saw that too. There is no way Buehrle was throwing at him and everyone knows it. You don't throw at a guy's head. Pitches get away from people sometimes. Kennedy really pissed me off with that one. Buehrle is not a headhunter. They retaliated, and it backfired on them. I hope we can consider the matter closed, and although I don't want to face him, I hope Hafner comes back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yah, Mark was trying to throw a curveball at Hafner's face. That makes a lot of sense. To tell you the truth, I'm don't think the Sox/Indians rivalry it all that heated. Unless I'm missing something, I don't know of any bad blood between us and them. But I'm sure if there was, Kevin Kennedy would know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 It's not a rivalry if only one team is winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innersanctum Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 From MLB.com Home-plate umpire Bruce Dreckman warned both sides after Westbrook hit Dye. Buehrle was told after the game that Kevin Kennedy, a FOX television analyst, said his pitch to Hafner looked intentional. Buehrle said nothing could be further from the truth. It was simply a sinker, meant to move inside on the left-handed hitter, which stayed a little too high and tight. "If I'm going to try to hit somebody intentionally, it's not going to be going for the head," Buehrle said. "That's just plain dirty, and I'm not that way. It just slipped out of my hand. I hope he's all right." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Fox broadcasts are consistently awful -- actually, every aspect of their coverage is. It's sad but true that the best broadcaster they've had in years is Al Leiter. I don't know why national baseball broadcasts are so bad, ESPN included. I would always rather listen to the opposing team's announcers than any national team working today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Manning who did color on Fox today is solid, and believe it or not the Twins duo of Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven and good too. The Royals Paul Splittorff and Bob Davis are just as solid!!

GoodAsGould Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I must of not caught the part of him saying that Buehrle intentionally hit Hafner in the head. For the most part the announcers did nothing but kiss our asses the whole game and saying how we do everything right even though it doesnt always show in the box scores.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I know what you mean about the Fox announcers... I heard them say that AJ had the only Sox grand slam all year.... Yeah... Too bad thats wrong... What a bunch of morons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the type to throw at someone period let alone at his head. Sad really that some dope like Kennedy wants to stir the pot like that.
