dasox24 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I love those two. Though I feel bad for that trainer 'cause he was just doing his job, I couldn't help but laugh when reading the AJ story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Carlos Zambrano should be on every hothead list imaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt4life Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I really think that they blew it on this list. Ozzie may be a loud mouth but Lou Pinella is known for screaming at his own players and kicking dirt on umpires. As far as AJ goes he's no hothead, he gets thrown at as much as anyone in the league and he never charges the mound he just takes his base, people just don't like him because he's kind of a jerk, but with AJ all his jerky behavior I think is a totally premeditated attempt to get under the skin of the other teams (and it works too). Being a hothead means that you lose your temper and are out of control while AJ is always under control. Milton Bradley or Kenny Rodgers deserve the top spot on this list.

Milkman delivers Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) This is horse s***. AJ gets so much unearned garbage thrown his way. The guy is absolutely not a hothead. In fact, he seems to be quite level-headed. You could make a negative list of anything in baseball, and they'd always just put AJ first because people just believe it when they see it. EDIT: Not necessarily first, but he'd be on any of the lists. Edited August 6, 2008 by Milkman delivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Not necessarily first, but he'd be on any of the lists. Exactly, when is the last time you saw AJ lose his cool. It's always other people i.e. Barrett or Mike Soscia (when AJ took first on the ball in the dirt in 05 divisional) who freak out when AJ is around. I'm not saying he doesn't go out of his way to fu** with people but he never loses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Milton Bradley tries to beat someone up like once a week. AJ is the most overrated villan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he doesn't go out of his way to fu** with people but he never loses it. He's probably one of the smarter players in the game, as well. He knows how to get into other players' heads and he's been known to out-smart a home plate ump every now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.J. Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I don't think of A.J. as a hot head at all. In fact, I think part of what makes him so antagonizing is that he has a calm demeanor. A hot head isn't as cerebral as A.J. is. A.J. is more of an instigator. Like Woody Woodpecker. Ha-ha ha ha, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It'd be hard to argue for Ozzie, but in no way should AJ be on here. He does nothing wrong, ever. "He didn't have to run in game 2 of the ALCS" says the typical Cubs fan, yet they'd love it if he did. When he ran Barrett over, he did nothing wrong- as a major leaguer, you're taught to run the catcher over if he's blocking the plate without the ball. Also, when a guy charges the mound, it's his job to tackle/hold back/stop that guy from getting to his pitcher. The guy next to me at the game today told his friend AJ is a jerk. It just so happens that when you go see the Sox on the road, the only guy who signs any autographs is Guillen (a few), Cooper (a few), and AJ (a bunch).

Gregory Pratt Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ozzie's not a hothead. He's straight-forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Not so surprisingly I love catching for that reason, getting into the other team's heads. AJ is about as good as anyone at that, and you have to be thinking and even tempered to do it or else it backfires and they just owned space in your head.

I love him as a White Sox. He's one of those guys that you hate unless he's one your team. The best example of another athlete that I can come up with is Dino Cicarelli who used to play for the Minnesota North Stars. I hated the guy, but I would have loved him if he was on the Blackhawks.

But I still could not stomach the Bulls signing Rodman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
