Deadspin
Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox are now in the midst of being criticized (again) by some sports writers and the Association For Women In Sports Media for their creative blow-up doll, slump-busting shrine. The Association said said the shrine creates an "uncomfortable" environment for female sports writers in the locker room. Via the National Post, comes this description of the shrine which featured two female blow-up dolls:
On Sunday, the bats were circled around the two naked female dolls, one of whom had a bat inserted in its backside to prop it up. Each wore a sign over her breasts, one saying "Let's Go White Sox" and the other reading "You've Got to Push," the National Post in Toronto reported.
Guillen, of course, defended the shrine, saying "I'm sure it wasn't done to disrespect anyone. . . A lot of worse things happen in the clubhouse. . . If people got their feelings hurt because of that . . . they don't really know much about baseball."
Duly noted. He is right about that. There was a time when struggling baseball teams used real live women in the locker room as slump-busting shrines. You've got to push...

It didn't work. Maybe they should move on to the other kind of "slumpbuster".
Yes, and yes.
This should create an uncomfortable environment for anyone.
Holy Camel Toe!
I am uncomfortable with this post.
tonight, and in my my mind
Change the signs to "Go Wildcats" and you got a dinner party at Kige's.
Can they just shove the bat up Pablo Ozuna's ass instead?
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: only one "my," though
What beach is that?
And a +1 to the Sox for sodomizing a doll.
I dated a blow up doll once, bitch couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Big Stein only allows RealDolls in the locker room
Rule #1: if you have to say, as Ozzie Guillen did, that they didn't known it was really going to offend anybody, then you're already kind of admitting that, yeah, it might piss off female reporters by being dumb, tasteless, and sexist.
It's a baseball locker room, but there's really no excuse about the dolls. At least have the good sense to hide them after the game or something.
If this were 1919, Shoeless Joe Jackson would have had sex with the blow-up dolls, but he wouldn't have finished.
And here I thought the Ozzie Guillen post of the day would be about his Cubs rant.
"Chicago White Sox illuminati erected a clubhouse shrine designed to revive their team's flaccid fortunes."
What turgid prose!
Good to see Jenny McCarthy getting work again.
Nothing like a pregame bukkake-on-blow-up-doll to ease the tension.
Yeah thanks, she's okay.
I wonder what it is that makes these two gals look so surprised?
Sis?
Aw shit. Now to appease the wife, Jim Thome is going to have to go on Oprah and talk about douching and vajayjays again.
@J-No:
Does it make you uncomfortable because you are a woman or because you are a Cub fan?
My doll is a whore

@shea_guevara: Seriously, but who is that chick in the blue to her left?
Torrey Spelling really needs to catch a break.
@Schluby: Santonio Holmes in a Speedo.
The Mindy McCready doll, coming soon to a K-Mart near you.
I fail to see what the problem is. Its their clubhouse, they can do what they want! This dumb broad is trying to hard to get offended by something.
@shea_guevara:
+1
And you can putitinherasssssssssssss, Yee-essssssssssss!
The White Sox then tied it to their bullpen car before rushing in and breaking up a Canadian pot-smuggling ring.
@Weed Against Speed: At least it's not male camel-toe, since it's not Thursday.

I guess this is a bad time to bring up Jim Leyland's construction of glory holes in the Tiger's clubhouse?
This explains Rosie O'Donnell's role in "A League of Their Own".
@Gourmet Spud: +1
"You've Got to Push"
So was that sign directed at the team, the other doll with the bat in its ass, or the inflatable hampster you just know was lodged in there?
Ew, and ew.
@Phony Gwynn:
+5
They can't breathe, dick to mouth resuscitation
A tight squeeze, but stops the lengthy conversation
thanks luda.
You know your ballclub is in trouble when you're using Tisha Campbell's only hit as your fight song.
What happened to just making offerings of cigars and rum, then sacrificing a live chicken? Kids these days...
I would have hated to have to wait to see about this in the paper tomorrow morning.
Will - why don't you write about how the Sox were studying game tape at 5:45am in the locker room
Ozzie and the Real Girl, coming to a theater near you this fall!
Don't put this on Ozzie; the blow-up girls were a fallback when the doll's creators ran out of the Jay Mariotti model.
@Steve518: Or stripping clothing off of a cardboard cutout of Jerry Reinsdorf?
I have to go throw up now.
WordupThome:. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A MORE POLITE WAY TO BUST A SLUMP
If somebody on the team raised an objection, then I could understand the controversy.
Frankly, the reporters can go pound sand.
So no one actually had sex with the dolls?
What's the problem then?
Angela from The Office has really let herself go.
Is this really more offensive to sportswriters in locker room than Lou Piniella walking around in skivvies?
"Can I get one of those on the left in XXL, but more butch?"

Even together, the blondes are about 150 lbs short of a true slumpbuster
@LeagueofShadows: Probably her time of the month.
@Doyle McPoyle: That's my car! That's my girl!
@Doyle McPoyle: It's Afghanistanimation!
I must say, as an enlightened man, a blow-up doll also makes me uncomfortable. That vinyl mouth is really chafing.
@André Roussimoff: Having once been subjected to Grant Fuhr's hairy ass 10 inches from my face in a locker room, I'd probably have to go with "no."
"When I bit her on the titty, she farted and jumped out the window!"

Two more of Roger Clemens lovers come forward.

Can't wait until the Yankees do this and the blow up dolls end up on Steiners Sports Memorabilia Shows.
Utility Infielder Lee Harvey wanted to kidnap a cow.
Meanwhile, Mulder and Scully are checking out the black alien form walking toward the water in the background.
