harrelsons rant

[GiambiJuice]

Hawk Harrelson is a fool. I feel sorry for White Sox fans.

[Cap78]

A few thoughts -
1. my own opinion - I cannot stand Harrelson, biggest homer there is
2. what would Harrelson opinion have been if it was a Rays pitcher being thrown out - I guarantee it wouldnt have been the same reaction (see #1)
3. American League umpire? Didnt realize those still existed - dont they umpire American and National League now?
4. They are accountable Harrelson, for same reason he through your guy out of the game...curious if both benches were warned before the game though

[9RoyHobbsRF]

stick your foot in your mouth - yesss

[ol' aches and pains]

That's fairly mild for Harrelson. You should have heard him the day Joe West called two balks on Mark Buehrle (who never balks) and ejected Buehrle and Ozzie Guillen.

He is a tard AJ slide hard in the game before and spiked Ben Zorbirst and the Rays retaliated by plunking him that game then they tried to start up some new crap and there pitcher got tossed for it.

The Rays pitchers hit two Whitesox hitters and buzzed another up near the face area. I dont think the Whitesox were way out of line. I'll admit Harrelson can get a little goofy but I hardly feel the Whitesox are a bunch of headhunters. Last year Sox hitters were hit by somewhere around 90 pitches and Whitesox pitchers hit I think 44 hitters.

I dont know alot about the Rays but I hear all the time how they're in goofy fights with either the Yankees or Redsox so they dont seem like they are a bunch of victims.

I don't mind when an announcer roots. It's not my preferred style--I grew up with The Vin, who doesn't do that--but I know it's popular with a lot of people. But how any fan can stand an announcer who can't even call a game properly because he's too busy being a toady for his team is beyond me.

I only saw AJ getting hit and getting buzzed up and in is apart of the game. And No we only fight the sox when they decide to start plunking our players at will lol

I think that Joe Madden still holds a grudge from the 2005 playoff series when he was a Angels coach and A.J pulled that droped third strike deal which cost the game for the Angels. Although i'm sure A.J. Pierszynski more than likely slid hard into Zobrist but thats part of the game too.

Spiking him and sliding with your cleats/spikes up and into a guy is not apart of the game thats dirty Joe Maddon doesn't seem like the guy to hold grudges one of the most respected and well liked managers in baseball doesn't seem like the type of guy.
