The White Sox have been an undisciplined, reckless, out-of-control team ever since LaRussa became their manager.  The "acting manager" is incapable of controlling this team, as we saw last night.  

Both HBP incidents in the 9th could easily have been avoided, and we all know it.  The CWS hitters both "took it for the team."  To think our pitcher would intentionally hit a batter, with bases loaded, to get to their best hitter is insanity.  Their whole team (bullpen and all) rushing our mound reflects the makeup of today's CWS.
