Blown Out of Proportion


Oh Face!
Before Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, A.J. Pierzynsi an anonymous Chicago White Sox player placed two blowup dolls in the clubhouse, complete with players' bats fanned out around them, in an attempt to put a 180-spin on their horrible week.

It may have taken two whole days, but the Sox finally ended their winless streak Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins, when Gavin Floyd pitched 9.1 innings of no-hit baseball.

GM Ken Williams had lunch with skipper Ozzie Guillen on Tuesday, saying he was disappointed by the obscene display, but was sure it wouldn’t happen again.

Killjoy.

Great title. That could have gone lot of ways.

The media is just ridiculous. Don't worry about how much they SUCK right now, worry about the blowup dolls in the clubhouse.

Sooze ... I'm taking it by your headline that you weren't offended? I'm curious to hear a babe's perspective. Would it differ if you were a reporter in the clubhouse?

Sooze said...

No, no. I'm not offended at all. I'm more offended by the fact the media is making such a big deal about it. I would think what goes on in the clubhouse should stay in the clubhouse, outside of player interviews. But that's not the inside-scoop world we live in.

I agree with you, Sooze. I'm sure a lot more stuff goes on in the clubhouse that should stay there. These guys live, breathe, sweat, & s**t baseball with each other around the clock for 2/3 of the year, a couple of blow up dolls is a big deal? I think it's creative. I'm just sorry I can't be there for cup checks...
