MLB talks to Sox about blow-up dolls
Posted: Wednesday May 07, 2008 06:55AM ET
Officials from commissioner Bud Selig's office contacted the White Sox on Tuesday to discuss the team's controversial display of two inflatable dolls in their clubhouse over the weekend in Toronto, but no punishment is expected to be handed down, according to team and Major League Baseball sources. Stopping short of an apology, Sox general manager Ken Williams expressed disappointment over the display.

Report Offensive CommentMaybe the dolls look exactly like a hot female owner who is trying to tank the season and move the team to Miami. After every game they will take off an article of inflatable doll clothing

Report Offensive CommentOzzie probably demanded first crack at her since he's in charge. Those pictures might be enogh to get him fired. Let's hope somebody took em

Report Offensive Commentnfl- if Isiah Thomas was able to keep his job for so long you have to believe someone like Ozzie who had some success still has a decent shot to keep his. But yeah if MLB cracks down and fines the team that would be ridiculous. What happens in the clubhouse should stay there.

Report Offensive Commenthey bcolt, I think MLB approached them on this extremely important matter so that SI could have this thread. There is no other rational explanation.

Report Offensive CommentThis country is in serious need of sense of humor transplants. Blow-up dolls with bats in the clubhouse being used to motivate the players is some funny ****.
