Again, lots of tough guys in here. Throwing at heads? Ending careers? Really?
Yes, I know the game used to be this way. Black people couldn't play for a time, and there was no such thing as free agency. The game has gotten better. Not hitting guys in the temple with a 90+ MPH fastball is part of that positive evolution. |

I'm all for gunning one right at Young. Doesn't need to be a head shot, but he needs to know his **** won't be tolerated.

[QUOTE=
The best way to get back at them is to win but I don't see anything wrong with putting one if Young's back. If anything it tells them that the Sox are not going to put up with that crap.[/QUOTE] It's too late for that action and it only puts the Sox in a hole. I'd rather see a Twin taken out on a double play or coldcock if any Twin is standing on or near a bag!! Then let them clear the benches and take a few swings! I know of no other team that deserves it more since the Tory Hunter incident several years ago along with the hit batters! |

You're talking about a different era of baseball. That **** doesn't work anymore. All they're doing is giving them an extra out. And seeing as the Sox really need every game against the Twins, I really don't understand the point of any of it. This is the same stupid, tired bull**** like Pinella has to get fired up for the Cubs to win games. Or how because he got kicked out of one game, ONE GAME, a few years ago, that spurned them to a division title. Really? That's what did it? A bench clearing brawl is what made the 2000 White Sox a decent team? What happend in 2005 for them to win the World Series? Must have been ****ing Blood Sport tournaments going on throughout that season. No. They hit homeruns and had great all around pitching. That's why they won.

Hitting Delmon Young in the back with a fastball will not make second place any sweeter.

I think the aftermath of that season, that game, was the end of the Carlos era here, we brought in Pods, then go on to cut ties with Mags and had a pretty big change in approach between 2004 and 2005. I wont lie to you, I was not all for some of the ideas we brought into play, but at least it was a change. Ended up working out better than I think anyone, Guillen and KW included, ever thought it would. My concern now, 6 years later, is that we are not going to see what happened this season as catalyst for any kind of significant changes for 2011.....I hope I am wrong.

A swing, and a high fly ball, deep right center field. This is way back in the gap. And it's a goner! A White Sox winner! A winner on a Podsednik home run, and the White Sox go up two games to nothing in the 2005 World Series.

Suspending players against specific teams is done at the scholastic level for expediency, and baseball nip problems if they took a similar approach, although I don't know if the union agreement would allow it. If the play made the White Sox players as angry as it made some of the fans here, it won't end with last night's game or the White Sox rolling over. It would end with someone getting hurt in a manner that falls outside the boundaries of hardball. And baseball should do something before it goes that far. Players get injured sneezing and celebrating home runs. Imagine what could happen in a serious brawl. If the play was as bad as people here seem to believe, baseball should be proactive in seeing that nothing further happens. I don't need to see the play to make such conditional statements. |

That's fair. That's just a mindset that I don't ascribe to. I'm not saying I'm better or on higher ground, it just won't do anything for me to see Young get a free base. I'd feel much better about it if we were ahead.

If it makes it sweeter for you, if that's the case, don't expect winning baseball. Don't expect playoff baseball and don't complain about it. Keep your standards where they are, low, and you'll be fine. But I can't do that, sorry.
