No hitting for you!

Gonzales:

In his introductory news conference, Jake Peavy said he wanted to talk to manager Ozzie Guillen about his desire to hit. But that discussion won’t occur even if Peavy pitches Sept. 3 at Wrigley Field against the Cubs. Guillen abhors the idea of his pitchers batting, and Peavy is recovering from a right ankle injury suffered while running the bases more than two months ago. “I told my pitchers, ‘Unfortunately, we play in the American League and don’t try to do a stupid thing out there and get hurt,’ ” Guillen said. “That’s the way, unfortunately, we have to handle stuff in the American League.”
