It dawns on me that we could play a game with two tentpoles of recent Chicago White Sox squads. We'll call the game "Guillen OR Pierzynski." Said the White Sox drink rally beer during games to get themselves going? (Pierzynski.) Went on a profane tirade after the White Sox lost to Bruce fucking Chen? (Guillen.) Got slapped by a Cubs catcher? (Pierzynski.) Kicked a Cubs catcher's mask while complaining? (Guillen.) More »

Not To Be Outdone, A.J. Pierzynski Would Like You To Know That The White Sox Occasionally Drink "Rally Beer" During Games

White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski, everyone's favorite bleached-blond gnat (and World Series broadcaster), apparently wanted to stick up for the Red Sox players, bullied by the owners and the Boston Globe. So he went on The Dan Patrick Show and told everyone the White Sox occasionally drink in the clubhouse. Rally beer, you see. More »

A.J. Pierzynski Will Be Irritating You On World Series Broadcasts This Year

Jack Dickey — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:45:00 EDT

Fox Sports announced today, per USA Today, that once-blond nuisance (and current White Sox starting catcher) AJ Pierzynski would join Eric Karros' pompadour and the formerly frosted, still gelled tips of Chris Rose on Fox's World Series pregame and postgame coverage. Yuck. (We presume Jeanne Zelasko and Kevin Kennedy are in a storage unit somewhere.) More »

You can watch it here, for now, but I think my drawing better conveys the emotional truth of the moment. Hope you like it. More »

Secret Service Can't Protect George W. Bush From Foul Ball

Barry Petchesky — Tue, 24 May 2011 10:40:00 EDT

They'll take a bullet for the former president, but they can't save him from a lazy foul pop into the box seats in Arlington. Neither could A.J. Pierzynski: More »

For those of you who pay attention to such matters, TNA wrestling is having some sort of pay-per-view event this weekend that will feature "Team Pierzynski" vs. "Team Eckstein." That's A.J. Pierzynski and David Eckstein, two people who have never been in our kitchen. In this "promo" clip, Pierzynski does some Springer trash talk before a "surprise" guest shows up and makes his own team.

He's Probably Been Waiting Outside The Studio For Weeks

We had a few people email us yesterday, mostly saying a variation on the following: "So I'm home with the flu, and it's possible that I'm just hallucinating, but I think I just saw A.J. Pierzynski as a bouncer on the 'Jerry Springer Show.' Can that be possible?" More »

"Dad, I'm Totally Gonna Get You For This Someday"

Since the Home Run Derby on Monday night, we've been trying to track down a photo of Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and the horror he subjected his daughter to. And now that we've found it ... we can't quite put our finger on why it fills us with such dread. More »

Mariotti Now Universally Acclaimed As Lazy, Slobbish, Gassy

Leitch — Tue, 23 May 2006 13:45:08 EDT

It's tough to decide whom to dislike more: White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski or Chicago Sun-Times and "Around The Horn" gasbag Jay Mariotti. Particularly if you're a Cubs fan. After the big interleague tussle last weekend, Pierzynski was on "Pardon The Interruption" yesterday and went after Mariotti full-bore: More »

Revisiting The Chicago Bitch Slap

Clearly, there are not many people out there who feel bad about A.J. Pierzynski getting punched in the face. Sporlitics thanks Michaell Barrett for "doing something the rest of the world has wanted to do for a long, long time." They also provide a brief list of reasons why Pierzysnki deserved to be punched in the face from his various other stops in Major League Baseball. Reason #1 is pretty convincing. More »

As the White Sox start preparing for the Astros, we gleefully direct you to this Webshots album called, succinctly, Party With The White Sox Players. Featured are Paul Konerko and, most prominently, surly but "lovable" catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Make sure to check out the one where he's licking jello shots off ladies' necks. Always fun. More »
