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.

Geez, don't let Clemens hear about this, he'll want to make a comeback with the Sox!!

At least they werent in San Diego this weekend doing Frat stuff like this.

May 7, 2008  07:35 AM ET

Gee, Ozzie...and your team just doesn't get any respect, huh?

Can't imagine why.

How has this boob kept his job for this long? I guess winning a World Series gets you alot of goodwill.

Maybe 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

this thread hasn't taken off quite like i thought it would.

May 7, 2008  08:37 AM ET

Are any of the dolls underage? Where was Clemens when this supposedly happened?

May 7, 2008  08:49 AM ET

Stupid news..

May 7, 2008  09:06 AM ET

Hey where'd my bat go? Anybody seen my bat?

May 7, 2008  09:20 AM ET

I can't believe there is hoopla over this. These are adults. It's a joke. WHO CARES?! WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE?!

Even more shocking news, the Sox actually won yesterday

Ozzie 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

nfl- 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.

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

This 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 ****.

May 7, 2008  10:10 AM ET

Image is a big issue to MLB, that said, this is some funny ****.
