Gregory Pratt Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 http://www.southsidesox.com/comments/2007/...22021/12796/3#3 I heard Jose got served divorce papers 15 minutes before taking the mound in the clubhouse, that probably had an affect on the lethargic outing. Man, that'd be terrible, if true, to a) be divorced, in his case (and most any case) and b.) to be divorced like that. Has anyone else heard anything about this or is this just some dude on the Internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeLessRob Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Ozzie did mention problems with the wife. That would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Oh, my heart really does go to Contreras, if that's the case. Jose's an inspiration, IMO. Most Cuban pitchers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 AFter all he and his family went through with him defecting and them finally getting to the US as well, that would be horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That would certainly explain why he seemed so lost out there....if true I really feel for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thats pretty freakin terrible timing, proving once again that women are the root of all evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeGone33 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 So I was at that game, sitting in section 158 and was down by the bullpen during his whole warm-up session and looking back, he did not look like a happy man out there. I was literally standing 5 feet from him. People were cheering him and his face just had a blank stare to it. That would really suck, my heart goes out to the guy and if this is the case, maybe it can provide some inspiration for him the rest of the way.

Not so sure I'd support Ozzie spouting off about Jose's personal problems, problems that are NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. I wish Jose the best.

Dick Allen Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) I don't see how in the world he would get served papers in the clubhouse. They wouldn't let Carlton Fisk in the clubhouse during the 1993 playoffs. No way they'd let a process server in. I don't buy it.

She needs to appreciate he's the reason she's still not in Cuba. And what woman could ever divorce herself from the Bronze Titan?

Chisoxfn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Rumor or not, the divorce can't be the reason his stuff doesn't look near as sharp. Hopefully he'll turn things around but there is a lot less life to his fork and his fastball thus far early in the season. I remember reading he was throwing pretty hard in spring but it definitely doesn't seem to be the case from watching this game so far (although he's not doing too badly).

Chisoxfn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 After he loaded the bases Jose really seemed to wake up (also coincides with when Coop came out to talk to him) because his stuff and tempo has been far far better and the results have shown.

There are signs of truth to Contreras + unhappy in all of this on Opening Day. So terrible and sad. Can you tell me what happened with Fisk + 1993 playoffs? Backstory and then what happened there?

Harry Chappas Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Process servers are legal like supeonas and most likely would be allowed to enter the clubhouse. Fisk was released in the summer of 93 and showed up to the playoffs and they wouldn't let him in the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Jose says "divorce this, b****!!!" Tonight's outing gives this theory some small level of credence IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya ever been through one?...with kids involved?!? Sorry...just seems like a really stupid thing to say unless you've ever been in one. They have a MAJOR effect on everything you do...no matter what profession you're in. As for Oz bringin' up somebody's personal life....the dude was just trying to cover Count's back to take a little heat off of him. I think it should have been brought up...it's a big thing.

bardsroom attendant Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Miriam Contreras...timing is not your strong suit. Take care of this business in the winter. You are playing with the faith of 3,000,000 White Sox fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a speech to give in front of 1,500 people within your company, and your wife came up to you 15 minutes before hand and handed you divorce papers, I think you'd be a bit shaken up. Hence, why she could have atleast held off for like a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
