Texas' History with Garland

Found it. In 2006 Guillen threw a fit when Garland failed to retaliate when Padilla plunked a few Sox hitters. I'm not sure it was personal since Padilla has hit more batters over the last 5 years (66) than any other pitcher in baseball. But, does it work? This from The Dallas Morning News:

" It should also be noted, however, that the hit batsmen apparently had the intended effect. He faced Chicago twice more after hitting a pair of White Sox in June, raising Guillen's ire. He held the White Sox to one earned run in 15 innings after twice hitting A.J. Pierzynski in June. He faced the Angels once after the August run-in and held them scoreless for seven innings."

Maybe having a little "Nuke" Laloosh in you helps? But it's not going to be enough if we can't muster more than a solo shot.
