Suspensions handed out: Barrett suspended 10 games

[soccer10k]

"I don't [care] what Michael Barrett's suspension should be. He's not our player," Williams said. "Why should Michael Barrett get a chance to beat us [sunday], or the next time we play? With our luck, he'll play against us and serve his suspension when they play the Tigers.

 

Does anybody over in the White Sox ever think about what they say, before the say it? Kenny Williams just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an idiot. Sure, Kenny...MLB could have suspended MB the day after the INCIDENT, but MB would have still appeal the decision, which means...Barrett would have still play the game, your friggin, mental midget. Apparently, Williams believes in the "he's guilty because he is a Cub, so he shouldn't get an appeal" theory.

 

Anybody else think....that the White Sox won the WS DESPITE Kenny Williams?

Yes, they did, but that had more to do with the bad (or at least neutral) moves that he made than it did with his being a friggin moron, which he is.

 

[major rant]Oh and what's this "with our luck" crap? Kenny, you just traded for a guy who hit 7 homers last year and for all we know could've been one of those token post-steroid guys, and now he's going to hit 60. Jose Contreras, at the age of 65, is having one of the greatest runs of pitching in history. Your bullpen pitchers are all having their 2nd straight career years. AJ Pierzynski is hitting 50 points above his career average. Your closer, a former bar-fight denizen, is now one of the best in the game. Everyone you trade away either hits under .200, has an ERA above 9, or runs headlong into iron fences anymore. Carlos Lee is the only recently removed former White Sox that is having any kind of success at the big league level that I can think of. I have personally never seen a home run hitter get as many gopher balls to hit as Paul Konerko does (this was the case before Thome got there). Everyone you play seems to forget how to execute, as in the last two years I have seen more blown scoring chances against your team than I have even seen out of the Cubs, and that is saying something, my friend. You want "with our luck"? Watch the Cubs for a while.[/major rant]

 

Now, if Kenny had made a snide remark about the fact that the Cubs have no chance of beating the Tigers anyway, thereby screwing up the Sox' chances, this would have been somewhat humorous.

 

[applause]Awesome rant.[/applause]

If AJ did this, he'd get 20, and MLB would call for his head. There was a SI poll, and 470 MLB players were asked who they'd want to see beaned the most. AJ was # 1.

 

I think Ron Artest might have a little input on this topic.

I don't see Williams saying that Barrett shouldn't get an appeal. Am I missing something? I think he's just saying that it's unfortunate that Barrett attacked one of his players, and still gets an opportunity to beat them the next time that they play.

 

K-town, I highlight the point, not to insult you, but you did miss the point. The highlighted point, KW insinuate that Barrett should have been "unconditionally suspended" without a chance to appeal the decision. It's would like a first time shoplifer, being sentence to 5 yrs in prison, without the possibility of parole.
