After benches-clearing brawl, White Sox host Royals

Aug 12, 2008 - 12:34 PM Kansas City (54-64) at Chi White Sox (65-52) 8:11 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The last time the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals met, the team's got into a benches-clearing brawl.

However, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen insists there is no lingering bad blood between the teams and that there will be no altercations this time around when Chicago hosts the Royals in the series opener on Tuesday.

Royals catcher Miguel Olivo, starter Zack Greinke and manager Trey Hillman were ejected along with White Sox reliever D.J. Carrasco and Guillen during Kansas City's 14-3 victory on August 3. Olivo was hit by a pitch by Carrasco in the fifth inning and charged the mound before Greinke retaliated by plunking Chicago's Nick Swisher in the seventh.

Guillen received a two-game suspension, while Greinke and Olivo were each suspended for five games. Hillman was suspended for one game and isn't concerned of any carry-over on Tuesday.

"I just concentrate on managing our club," Hillman said. "I let Ozzie manage his [club]. We go out and play as hard as we can to try and win the ballgame."

Guillen isn't going to continue the feud because he is tired of paying for the fines associated with such an altercation.

"Nothing is going to happen," Guillen said. "You know what, I'll be honest with you, I'm tired of making people money. Seriously. I'm the pinata on this (stuff). All of a sudden, they are punishing me.

"When they take that kind of money, I'm not going to put up with that. I'll protect my players and do what I have to do, but that's a lot of money."

Brian Bannister (7-10, 5.37 ERA) toes the rubber for the Royals on Tuesday and will be opposed by White Sox righthander Javier Vazquez (8-10, 4.74).
