I think you got yourself a trip to the minors by not plunking Hank Blaylock. Ozzie was really pissed, and he is the wrong person to disregard orders from.

I aslo think AJ should have just let the bat "slip" right in the direction of the mound on his third trip to the plate.

I think it was hilarious how Hawk was getting so pissed off.

Hawk: Back in my day I'd wait outside after the game and kick some butt!

Good call Greg, he was sent down to the minors already. They sure work fast on that team when they're not happy with someone's play.

Pappy was correct today in throwing the blame at Vazquez. I know Ozzie was probably thinking that he loses very little if a rookie reliever gets a suspension for hitting a batter after a warning. However, Vazquez should have done the deal before it even got to Tracey.

At least this incident has made North talk sports this morning. He's still idiotic and ignorant, but at least he isn't talking immigration.

Before anyone asks, I was trapped in a car with one of Mike's 18 fans.

Let's do it for Johnny!

Why was Tracy brought up in the first place? He was a starter that just turned reliever. Besides Javier Lopez has a 0.55 ERA in 33 innings pitched.

Bye bye Javier Lopez. He just got traded for David Riske. Riske takes Sean Tracey's roster spot. I'm wondering why Lopez didn't get a look. Riske has had some back issues recently.

I get the feeling the Sox new he could not do it at the major league level and were highlighting the guy in a league he could dominate. He is 28.

Something tells me that Tracy got shipped back down for other reasons (like the fact that he's terrible), and this whole little altercation was the straw that broke Ozzie's back.

I agree, plus Tom Hanks said it best, "Are you crying? There's no crying in baseball!!!"
