Mired in a five game losing streak, the Chicago White Sox attempted to bring a "slump buster" into their locker room last Sunday with a few baseball bats and a couple of blow up dolls. According to the suntimes.com:
On Sunday, the bats were circled around the two naked female dolls, one of whom had a bat inserted in its backside to prop it up. Each wore a sign over her breasts, one saying "Let's Go White Sox" and the other reading "You've Got to Push," the National Post in Toronto reported.
One group not amused by the prank was the Association for Women in Sports Media, whose members work toward ensuring a non-threatening work environment for all women in sports media.
I don’t think anyone should be offended at this tactic—because it works. Whenever I get into a blogging slump I always jam my keyboard up a blow-up doll's ass and hang an inspirational sign around its neck that says something like "Do It The Write Way" or "This Pun's For You" or "I May Have Just Sharted". And before I know it, I'm knocking my posts out of the park. (And before you ask, yes, I am currently typing this from inside a blow-up doll's ass.)
I heard about this on sports radio this morning, being that I live in Chicago it was a popular topic.
Here's something to think about. You'll never see a guy being offended by a male blow up doll in a WNBA locker room that has things like, "put it in the hole" or " I hate men", "i love puss" No you won't because guy reporters are not allowed in women's locker rooms. But female reporters are allowed to enjoy the sausage festival that is an MLB locker room. Double Standard?
What they need to do is follow in the footsteps of the Clevlend Indians and make a lifesized cut-out of thier owner Jerry Riensdorf, then strip off a piece every time they win. Thats what i call motivation
Maybe the Sox should start with a cut-out of Reinsdorf in a g-string. Every time they win, a piece gets put back on. That would sure motivate me to win if I was on the team.
What a non-story. Any chance they get to bash the White Sox they just jump on it. Probably some light in the loafers Cub fan. Oh wait that's redundant.

Ozzie Guillen strikes again. He'll be managing the Nationals pretty soon.
