August 17, 200619 yr the benches cleared last night in a game vs. the Texas Rangers, and maybe it's just because it was something with the Sox, but it seems like Sciosia or his team is always getting themselves into this type of thing, with us, the Rangers, or the Nationals from last season. isn't it about time someone from Major League Baseball stepped in here?
August 17, 200619 yr This whole thing basically started with Vicente Padilla 2 days ago, if anyone have their nuts stepped on by Major League Baseball it's Padilla and Showalter.

There was an article in one of the Texas papers saying that Jon Daniels may not even re-sign Padilla in the off-season just because of all the trouble he's caused this season with these type of things. Certainly an interesting way to look at it I suppose.

I don't remember him going after people when his ass was in the NL having to go up to the plate 2-3 times a game, so now that he's protected by the DH he decides to go after any hitter that looks at him the wrong way?
August 17, 200619 yr I know some self-righteous poster will criticize me, but concerning the actual fight, it was quite pathetic. Looked like a couple of women slapping each other.

August 18, 200619 yr I'm surprised Mike Scioscia knew about any animosity between the two clubs. Usually that sort of thing goes way over his head.

Because he really has no pitching upside, so he decided that maybe if he headhunted a little it would improve his ERA.
August 18, 200619 yr This is as much Texas than Anaheim. This should serve as the White Sox case against both clubs.
August 18, 200619 yr IMO it's the managers. That's not a critique at all, I think both managers are very good managers, it's just their personality rubbing off on their club.

I think Buck Showalter is a crap manager... and I have a Rangers friend who doesnt think the Rangers will ever get to the playoffs and actually win until Buck retires or is fired.
