Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox are now in the midst of being criticized (again) by some sports writers and the Association For Women In Sports Media for their creative blow-up doll, slump-busting shrine. The Association said said the shrine creates an "uncomfortable" environment for female sports writers in the locker room. Via the National Post (http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/postedsports/archive/2008/05/04/jays-notebook-clubhouse-dolls-fail-to-perk-up-sox.aspx), comes this description of the shrine which featured two female blow-up dolls:If the presence of reporters means the subject of the new has to be cleaned up then the reporters really are not beng good journalists.

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.

I think it would depend on whether the dolls are there independent of the female reporters or because of them.

Are reporters allowed in locker-rooms immediatly after the games, or are the players given some private time to shower and change first? I've always wondered that.

Forget the reporters for a second. In what other workplace is it considered ok to have sex toy dolls with baseball bats inserted into its orifices laying around?

Good question, I think I will ask my boss today if I can put one in the office to improve our performance.

Would you consider that a threat for bad performance, or a reward for good performance? :p

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.

"I will assure Major League Baseball that the doll was not violated in any way, shape or form," Williams said.
