claydude14 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (Andrew @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 01:28 AM) No it's not. We still have the problem of a p**** pitcher who can't go 6 innings without worrying about muscles falling off his bones, or groins, or whatever, and god forbid - he might have a fit when his catcher calls him out on it when he sucks ass after 5 innings. What's been solved? F. J. P. So are you for or against the 6 man rotation in the 2nd half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 11:34 PM) Apparently no one in this thread has ever gotten into an argument with a close friend. Do you even know what "Showing up" means? Getting into an arguement with a close friend, and then your friend belittling you on facebook about said arguement for the world to see. That's the equivalent of what AJ did I love all the "AJ is a gamer!!! HE ONLY WINS!!!!!" When was the last time he threw out a f***ing runner, why doesn't he worry about his own game, and let the manager handle the managerial duties.

greg775 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This Website is so dysfunctional. The team is asleep all season. AJP wakes it up and many turn on AJ. WTF?

max power Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Both AJ and Jake are okay. AJ probably shouldn't have been so animated; he should have used discretion. Still, trying to get Peavy pulled, regardless of if he had an impact on the decision, was the right thing to do in order to win the game. AJ was probably afraid that the game would be given away, as he was wondering when they'd pull him. I would have pulled him at least one batter before they did. Peavy is obviously right if he thinks AJ shouldn't "show him up". All in all, its no big deal. Edited June 23, 2011 by MAX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this kind of s*** that he's been known to do on just about every team he's been on He showed up Peavy - the f***ing pansy, making $16M while he's done s*** to help this team and AJ (helped them get a title), took a lesser contract to stay the 11th hour (got offered more from LA). If it's "this kind of s*** that he's been known to do...blah blah blah" - shut up, gas bag....., You can SIGN ME UP FOR MORE TOO. What the f*** investment do you have in Jake goddamn Peavy anyway? He's a f***ing disaster of a trade. Nobody would even argue that.........He brings special "never happened" injuries and recoveries..... You can cut my leg off for $16M and yet he gets that a year to not play 1/2 the time and suck when does. But no - "Don't no catcher call him out of line...." ~ Real Ridiculous.

southsider2k5 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) It's amazing how many people are using their hate of Peavy/contract to defend AJ's actions. It doesn't matter who the pitcher or catcher was in the situation. It's irrelevant. Let me spin this around another way for people who are using this as a bash Peavy thing. How about the next time AJ misses throwing out a runner by 10 feet if Jake points into the dugout? Or the next time a pitcher walks the bases loaded in front of AJ with no one out, and AJ swings at the first pitch and pops out weekly to second, is it then OK for the runner on third to point into the dugout for a guy who can hit?

Phew I can hoenstly see why people want to take sides in an argument, but honestly I am just glad they handled it like men and are keeping it in the clubhouse. No bulls*** Cubs fights, anger mgmt etc. Yeah, I guess as much as AJ tried to pull a Zambrano by showing up his teammate in front of everyone, at least Jake drug him back to the clubhouse to make his point.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Wow, this thread has been quite entertaining reading this morning. The jumping to conclusions, exaggerations and hyperbole, ridiculous statements, irrational opinions due to player bias, making a bigger deal out of nothing etc... This thread should be saved for whenever anyone asks what this site is like. Soxtalk in a nutshell right here. In all seriousness though, it really appears a non-issue. Both players said so afterwards and we won the game. There was no public blow-up or fight and it was just two competitive players in the heat of the moment. Peavy should not have been as animated while on the field and in view of everyone and AJ should never have made that gesture, right or wrong being irrelevant. I'll never question either player's desire to win and they're among the few on this team I can say that about. If anything, I'm kind of glad they do care as much as they do. Wouldn't the opposite be much, much worse? Edited June 23, 2011 by ChiSox_Sonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Man talk about a thread that makes you wanna put your face through a wall. Good comparison 2k5. Seriously if Peavy or any pitcher showed disgust everytime AJ threw a God awful throw to second 1. That would be horses*** and people would be livid and 2. It would get f***in old from happening so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
