The Headline Says FIGHT!

But Sox real battle is with Twins

Moez104080317_lower_medium

John Kruk made a good point on the early edition of Baseball Tonight. There's a sentence I didn't think I'd ever be typing. He argued that the better teams--those in contention for the post-season--are at a disadvantage when a bean ball war looks to be breaking out, with his point being that contending clubs are more reticent to have their players suspended.

We could probably host a lively debate on whether the pitches that DJ Carrasco threw were intended to hit Miguel Olivo. Joe Cowley and Mark Gonzales think the Sox and Royals have some history. I'd argue that down 6-0 with the bases loaded isn't exactly the type of spot you start throwing at people. And if we were to judge by Ozzie Guillen's reaction, the plunking certainly wasn't called from the bench.

Back to the point at hand, my first thought as soon as Olivo started charging the mound was "F@#%! Suspensions and ejections are the last thing we need right now." From the actions of all of the Sox players, they had exactly the same thing on their minds. AJ Pierzynski, who's not exactly know for his calming influence, immediately rushed to defuse the cocked-and-loaded Olivo. Though he eventually took a roundhouse from Olivo to the top of the head. Brian Anderson, who was seen throwing absolute haymakers last time the Sox had a similar incident, ran in from the bench not with arms cocked ready for a fight but with both arms extended trying to stop the fracas. To a man, the Sox were looking to avoid the undesirable consequences that come along with releasing some frustration in the form of pugilistics.

The Sox know they're in a pennant race. They know that they need everyone healthy and on the field for the remaining 50+ games. They're not going to risk getting saddled with league-mandated downtime on the Royals. The Twins? Sure. The Tigers or Indians? Probably. But the Royals? No way. They're not worth the effort.

20080803_mjr_sr9_028_lower_medium

You could almost see Nick Swisher going through those exact thoughts in his his head just after being plunked in the hip by a 94 MPH Zack Grienke fastball.

That Pokemon-lovin' paper boy just hit me with a baseball. I'm gonna run out there and show him exactly how I got the name Dirty 30.

But, you know, my playing time is going down as it is with Griffey on the team. And he's gonna get injured if he comes running in to help. If both of us are out, Konerko's definitely gonna be in the lineup. I should probably just stay right here, and damn did that hurt.

F'n Royals! Don't they know we don't care about them?

I'm sure the Royals will have next week's series at USCF circled on their calendars. It's not like they have anything else to look forward to this season. But the Sox, who now sit in second place for the first time since May 16th, which, note to Hawk, is much less than 105 days ago, have much bigger goals than getting even with the freakin' Royals.

I'll be interested to see how the media plays today's game as the season draws to a close. I have a feeling we'll be hearing about how Gardenhire's smart ejection last week helped spark the Twins run, while the incompetently volatile Ozzie Guillen has lost control of his team as they slip into second place.

With a Twins win tonight, first place is gone for the Sox after holding it for 104 days this season. 04:58 PM August 02, 2008

Today was awesome

Woke up, got breakfast, drank a bunch of coffee and sat down to watch the game. And after 1 inning the coffee hit in at the same time as Clayton Richard—so I cleaned the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room, took the trash and recycling out and then sat down to watch the Sopranos.

And the game still hadn’t ended. So all that time I could have watched a win or a close loss I saved and got like the whole fucking house cleaned.

Thanks Sox.

Visitor from Royals' board here...

I found it interesting that you all are agreeing with Kruk while our board is ripping him.

His logic makes it seem like all of the teams not in playoff contention are outlaws—going around firing baseballs at batters every time they have a chance to retaliate.What do the Royals care? They aren’t winning anything this year. I bet they sharpen their spikes and go wiping out middle infielders any chance they get. The rumor is they’re looking at trading for that minor league kid who fired a ball into the stands last week. They’re all probably using corked bats too. Rules, schmules when you’re not competing!!!!!

Honestly, team records have nothing to do with retaliation/charging the mound.

Plus, Kruk doesn’t even know the standings, but whatever.

Here’s a thought for any pitcher—-don’t throw near a guy’s head three times in a row, and you won’t have to worry about being in a brawl. Also…Olivo has only been hit three times this year….all courtesy of the White Sox.

If you all don’t care about the Royals, fine. But I doubt the Royals will circle the series with you guys next week on the calendar as much as you think. We’ve got Boston and Minnesota to deal with first. If you all want to start something up, fine. But our guys are probably done with it.

As for the brawl, it does seem odd timing for the beanball. But three straight up and in is awful interesting, to say the least. I can’t say I blame Olivo, but I’m not sure it was intentional by Carrasco, either.

by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 4, 2008 12:16 AM CDT   0 recs

I know it's difficult concept to understand, given that the Royals have played meaningful games past the All-Star break once (twice?) since the Reagan Administration

It must be a tough concept to grasp that the White Sox have no desire to lose player-games on a petty, stupid beanball war and a serial mound-charger.

How very ad hominem of you, attacking Kruk’s argument based on the silly notion that he doesn’t know what the standings are. I get it. You’re so clever. Kruk is dumb and incapable of keeping track of the complex baseball standings. And let’s add to the ad hominem by extending his argument to the most illogical extremes to make your point. Yeah, he was clearly (in the most SSS use of the term) saying that the Royals and Mariners of the world are pistol-wielding marauders out to get all those poor teams with better records.

Kruk’s point, and honestly I really can’t figure out why this is so hard to grasp, is that player-games are more valuable to the White Sox (.5 games back of the Twins) than they are to the Royals. The White Sox are going to think twice before doing anything stupid. The Royals, well, we saw Olivo…

Spelling it out further… What happens to the Royals when Olivo is suspended (AGAIN)? What would happen to the Sox would Pierzynski get a 5-day rip? Certainly, it’s far more detrimental to the Sox to have a week full of Toby Hall behind the plate while trying to catch/keep pace with the Twins than John Buck behind the plate while the Royals fight the Indians for the AL Central cellar.

And in the event of warnings, and worse possible preemptive pregame warnings, being issued, which team has more to lose should any pitcher intentionally or unintentionally hit a batter, prompting immediate ejection and automatic suspension? The answer should be obvious, yet here I am explaining it at 1 AM.

AIM: SouthSideCheat

by The Cheat on Aug 4, 2008 1:03 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

um. yeah i know his point.

Hey just a little joke there. Take it easy.

I know his point. You didn’t have to spell it out.

Of course losing players to suspension is worse for Chicago. It’s his thought that “the rules the way they are now,” as he put it…are somehow hindering the good teams and giving the bad teams an advantage. Yeah, KC can lose a player and it’s not ruining their playoff chances. But that’s not some tactical advantage or aggregious aspect of the game that deserves a two-minute rant that he gave. He made it sound like we shouldn’t even schedule games where the contending teams are playing the non-contenders, which is about as ludicrous as the time he claimed Randy Johnson could win 30 games in a season.

And he doesn’t know the standings. He called KC a “last place team.” That is not correct. Usually it is….but not now. Don’t know what your point is on that.

And Olivo is not a “serial mound charger,” despite what you claim. This is only time this season. I’m guessing you’re referencing the incident last year with Jose Reyes. Unless Jose Reyes became a pitcher sometime last season without my knowledge…..Olivo did not charge the mound.

Anyway, enjoy the season…and lighten up a bit, man. Also, on an unrelated note…..do you want Ross Gload back? He’s on pace to have a historically bad OPS+ for a first baseman (worst since 1978 and in the bottom ten since WWII)....but he can field a little bit. We’ll accept Ozzie’s used lineup card in return. Or Paul Konerko. Whatever is worth less right now.

Fernando Vina Rules!

I love how you guys seem to think the White Sox are some superior, historic franchise. You’ve won what… 1 world series in the last 85 years or so? Gee, that’s the same number of championships the Royals have! And just one more note of interest: since the end of June the Sox are exactly .5 games better than the Royals which means you pretty much suck just as bad. Sad thing is… that means we’re improving and your team is getting worse. Let me know how the time machine you have to take junior back 10 years so he’s worth a shit works for you.

It's a shame that the entire season counts towards a team's record for your argument...

Meanwhile, the Royals have had one over. 500 season in the past 14 years. That is an embarrassment to baseball.

weak…. get used to living in the past because the Sox are goin’ nowhere this year as they continue to slip in the standings. They’re a joke. The thing is, Royals fans KNOW their team is a joke but continue to hold on to that hope of a better day. You guys still think you’re awesome! Bottom line: The Royals and White Sox can get together and watch the post season together this year because neither team is making it there.

by Gload-zilla on Aug 4, 2008 8:41 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

So if the White Sox are a joke what does that make the Royals?

If the Royals finish even lower than the White Sox this season, shouldn’t you guys be even more depressed than Sox fans? You probably didn’t even witness the last time your team won a World Series.

I was young but did witness the ‘85 series. In response to your question: the White Sox are supposed to be good. The White Sox are supposed to win. The Royals are supposed to finish in last place, which we may very well still do… but there were no expectations for this year (or any other year recently). Yes, it sucks… but we don’t fool ourselves with dreams of grandeur. I’d have to think a White Sox fan would be more depressed over losing the division than a Royals fan when we finish last. We’re used to it.

Where have you been?

The Sox were supposed to be a third - possibly fourth - place team this year…

Tigers
Indians
White Sox / Twins
Twins / White Sox
Royals

Don’t you remember any preseason projections? And as a Sox fan, I am much happier that the Sox won it all in 2005. Meanwhile, the Royals haven’t done anything of note since 1985… twenty years earlier. And I bet your were about 5 years old when the Royals actually did win that World Series.

Not only that, but I haven't forgotten my entire life of watching the Sox lose prior to, and after 2005...

I understand becoming the “hunted” after your team wins something…but I certainly don’t think any of us Sox fans feel high and mighty (nor expect to win) simply because we won in the last few years.

We at SSS don’t need other teams’ fans to visit the site to tell us the Sox suck…I think we all do a fine job of that on our own. We’re like the Paul Konerko of sports blogs.

Thanks for poppin’ in though.

Here is it...

Link:

“This time they kicked our [rears],” Guillen said after the loss knocked the Sox out of first place in the AL Central for the first time since May 16. They are a half-game behind the Twins.

“But be ready for the warning because I signed a five-year deal with this club, and we’re going to play Kansas City a lot. I don’t say be careful. They played with fire, and I respect everyone on the pro level. But enough is enough.”

Sounds like he’s trying to get suspended.

I almost want to compliment you on your defense of the Sox

and circling the wagons when under attack from KC (how scary is that, though our fans did beat up their first base coach). However, I’ll temper my enthusiasm by postulating that you like to fight, and this gives you an good outlet that is socially redeemable on this site.

As long as you are trained on an outside target, fire away, man.

We got a rockin rhythm and a hi-tech sound that’ll make you move your body down to the ground. We got Poindexter on the violin, and Lewis and Gilbert will be joining. We got Booger Presley on the mean guitar and a rap by little ol’ me Lamar. We got Takashi beating on his gong, the boys and the mu’s are clapping along. And just when you thought, ya seen it all, along comes a Lambda four foot tall. So won’t ya come on out here on the floor, so we can move our bodies, like never before.
