I was the person who called Perez "dirty".  I will admit that it is
not based on facts sitting here in front of me, but only on perceptions
from watching TV.  Over the last couple of years, it seems that 
whenever I have watched Perez pitch on the game of the week, he is
involved in hitting batters or just missing them only because the 
batters were lucky.  He has also been shown on the local news shows
when they highlight (unfortunately) beanball wars.

This may all be unfair.  It just seems that Perez gets an inordinate
amount of media coverage concerning beanballs when compared to the
other pitchers in the big leagues.
I will give him credit that atleast he didn't go for Wiggins head.

In response to your other questions, no, I do not hate the Braves nor
do I feel like I am classifying him because of his ethnic background.
I do, however, wish the Braves all the lousy luck in the world during
their weekend series against the Cubs.  I going to the "friendly
confines" on Sunday and guess who I get to see.  That's right.
Mr. Perez himself.  Maybe it will change my mind.

As I said, these are only perceptions and perceptions can be changed
rather easily.
