Pierzynski On Drinking During Games

White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski joined The Dan Patrick Show today and discussed everything from the Cubs getting Theo Epstein to his new manager Robin Ventura and the ALCS and NLCS before being asked about the happenings in the Boston Red Sox clubhouse.

Pierzysnki's answer when asked if he had ever cracked a beer during a game:

"Yes, absolutely I have before.  Sometimes you're just really struggling and you just say 'hey, you know what, I need something to calm me down and let's have a beer.'  A couple of us will do it together and sometimes it works out.  I mean, it just, sometimes you just need a rally beer and if you're in extra innings and you're in about the 15th inning and you need to get going again that sometimes works for you."

Pierzynski added that it will be strange to play for a guy he played against in Ventura and that he has no ill-will towards Ozzie Guillen.
