Discipline has been issued to two players and the managers of both Clubs as the result of on-field incidents in Sunday's game between the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Bob Watson, Vice President of On-Field Operations for Major League Baseball, made the announcement.
Royals catcher Miguel Olivo has been suspended for five games and fined an undisclosed amount for charging the mound, which incited the bench-clearing incident during the bottom of the fifth inning, and for throwing a punch during the incident.
Royals pitcher Zack Greinke has been suspended for five games and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing at a batter during the top of the seventh inning after warnings had been issued to both Clubs following the bench-clearing incident.
Royals manager Trey Hillman has been suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount for the intentional actions of Greinke after warnings had been issued earlier in the game.
The suspensions of both Olivo and Greinke had been scheduled to begin tonight, when the Royals host the Boston Red Sox. Both Olivo and Greinke have elected to appeal. Thus, their suspensions will be held in abeyance until the process is complete. Hillman will serve his suspension tonight.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount for his aggressive actions during the incident, which included making contact with Umpire Tim Timmons, and for his comments following the game. Guillen will begin to serve his suspension tonight, when the White Sox host the Detroit Tigers.

what's done is done
but do you think ozzie would have been suspended for perhaps one game if he held his tongue a bit post-game?
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

that's what i wonder
and if he didn’t “act aggressively” but had only spoken as he did, would he have gotten just one game?
is there any precedent for saying something similar to what ozzie said?
brian anderson would've caught that...
i also wonder
if the umpire is going to be suspended for aggressive actions towards ozzie.
and for wrongly ejecting carrasco.

Australian soccer player, angered by his red card, beats his opponent with a tire iron.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

In addition, reliever Adam Russell was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte, in order to give Ozzie an expendable pitcher to throw 94 MPH at Royals hitters.

WHY IS KONG PLAYING!!?!@!!
just playin’ man. historically, he’s done better against robertson than say, swish. but a little squeamish with jr in center with floyd pitching.

Ugh -- no Swisher?
You know, I really want to be on board with the Griffey acquisition, as he could help this club down the stretch, but damn if the Sox aren’t using him sub-optimally…
yup. the sox will totally miss that .387 OPS against robertson.
it doesn’t take long to check these things, you know.
See? Sherman through Georgia, larry is
Just tuning up for tomorrow night. Full Metal Jacket. No one is spared.
shaftr, the ghost author. cheat, the never-present manager. colin, the obfuscating author. wiz…well. who the fuck knows. at least he shows up to work.
Why is it stupid shit?
My beef is more with Griffey playing than Swisher not playing. Griffey’s got a .709 OPS versus southpaws and I’d prefer the better defender in center.
think for a second, keith.
a team just acquired a future hall of famer. they’re just returning from a road trip. fans buy tickets to first game back from said road trip in order to see future hall of famer play. reaction when said future hall of famer isn’t playing? this is a business.
Don't forget about the diving catch (a.k.a. Webgem) in center field that Griffey will make...
that most outfielders make while camped under it.

For that matter...
I’d also like to see Fields at third, with both a lefty on the hill and a non-GB pitcher throwing for the Sox.
Gio called up...

Just thought someone would be interested to know that Gio has arrived.

Gio's parents
are probably not lurking on this site. Maybe KW wants to know, since he might trade for him again. But I bet he has his own information pipeline.

He was one of the Sox top prospects and he was traded away twice...
I’m sure more people than Gio’s parents and KW are following his career.

I think AJ did a helluva job, too.
No player suspensions for us. Not too shabby. Ozzie takes another one for the team. (He shouldn’t have bumped Blue, though.)

oh, doctor! this is some good shit!
The White Sox suck balls. They are coached by a punk a-s-s & act like Busch leaguer’s. Carasco should be suspended for his little gay slap towards Olivo. What a little pu-ssy.

Some on the Royals site do not share your optimism:
Jennifer, you know what baseball players like A.J. Pierzynski call girls like you?
Arena rats.
Good for one thing: Taking to the hotel for a 15-minute fling. Meanwhile, you pour your heart out for a butt-head with bleached-blonde hair who treats people like you as scum.
Go back to your pathetic little apartment in the projects.

Gold!
The only thing Zack did wrong was not plunking Pierzinski. He is one of the biggest pukes in MLB. My old college roommate was from Minneapolis, and said that when AJ played for the Twins, even their fans didn’t like him.
Now I see why Cubs fans freaking hate Sox fans.

what is Tim Timmons suspension?
He held Ozzie back when there was no need to hold him. The only thing Ozzie did is tell the guy to move his F(*#$en SH)(#$ Pus&$Y hands off of him and moved them aside.
repeat ad nauseum
Ozzie can say whatever he wants, but when a guy goes chin high three times in a row, there is little doubt that he is doing so intentionally. Any other argument is balderdash.How does Carrasco not get suspended. Sorry, 3 pitches in a row at Olivo’s chin are not an accident. I’m not buying that they wouldn’t do it with the bases loaded.
Yet no one seems to bring up Friday’s game, when Carrasco couldn’t get a pitch over the plate, and nearly hit Esteban German twice on 3-1 and 3-2 pitches with the bunt on (brilliant call by Hillman, BTW) using nearly exactly the same “headhunting” pitches.

No sense
in spinning your tires on this. The suspensions they handed out are fair. Whether Royals fans agree with MLB’s decision is irrelevant. Although if this situation were reversed, I’d bet there’d be a pretty fair number of White Sox fans crying foul on this as well.

Isnt it fair to assume
Anything a Royals fan thinks is irrelevant?
The SSS motto should be the answer to "What is our deepest fear?". Or maybe just Prozac.

Official Press Release...
CHICAGO—Prior to tonight’s game vs. Detroit, the Chicago White Sox recalled right-handed pitcher Adam Russell from Class AAA Charlotte and returned third baseman Joe Crede from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Charlotte.To make room on the 25-man roster for Russell, the White Sox optioned left-handed pitcher Clayton Richard to Charlotte on Monday.

If Fields is not going to get a start at 3B against a lefty...
why is he even on the roster?

uribe has faced robertson 42 times (third most of any pitcher in his career)...
.325/.357/.550/.907 line. that’s why he’s in the lineup.

We have Floyd tonight
why is it when I read all the in depth stats sites, they all say things along the lines of ‘he’s rubbish, winging it, very lucky, pile of shite, etc’, but he seems to get the wins for us? His last performance was the best pitching I saw from all the Sox pitchers on our away trip.

pos
“Another gay instant messenger abbreviation created by losers with no life. Means “parent over shoulder.” Used to tell the other person that your mom/dad is looking so don’t type anything you wouldn’t want them to see. “
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I call shenanigans!
I am certain you haven’t read a single site that says he’s “rubbish” or a “pile of shite”.
