Which was the odder occurrence in yesterday’s series finale against the Rays: a) The AJ Play, b) Konerko actually getting a clutch hit to send the game to extras? Here’s five thoughts from around the internet on Pierzynski.
The Cheat has a recap of yesterday’s game, and reminds everyone that Doug Eddings, the umpire who made the call yesterday, was also the umpire during AJ’s most infamous moment: the dropped third strike during Game 2 of the 2005 ALCS against the Angels.
Chip Ramsey at Chip Shots: "Say what you want about A.J., but if there is a more creative guy in baseball, I haven't seen him yet."
Jeeves: "In all honesty, if I was a Rays’ fan or a Rays’ player, I would be PISSED. I wouldn’t want to accept that decision as fair, but the impartial part of me (however small it is) would admit that Eddings and the umps followed the letter of the rules by awarding AJ the base. Yes, it was a cheap (some would say savvy) play by AJ to stick his elbow out, but the fact of the matter is that once Aybar releases the ball, he is under no circumstances allowed to touch the runner (as long as he’s still in the basepath). So yes, it was cheap, but it was the correct call, you know, pretending that they actually collided."
Rosenblog: "Tell you what, if Pierzynski isn't the smartest player in the game -- his heads-up acting job was as sharp as the way he pantsed Tampa Bay center fielder B.J. Upton to take second on a flyout one batter before -- then he certainly is in the staring lineup, and batting no lower than second the way he does for the Sox. And if Pierzynski isn't the most despised player in the league -- no, wait, he is the most despised player in the league, moreso with that white-platinum-whatever Dennis The Menace hair thing he has going. It's the old saying: You hate him when he's on the other team, and you hate him less when he's on yours."

How about a major league catcher dropping a perfectly good throw to home to end the game and to finally show that the Sox can't beat decent pitching. Yes, they own the Mariners and Royals (yippie) but when a decent ball club strolls into town they fold like my grandmother's lawn chair.
