Wedge Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's great to see the media get this one right and give the award to the right guy. I couldn't be prouder of you, Ozzie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Bring back Jerry Manuel He deserves it, no matter what people may think of his decisions. Bottom line is, the Sox won 99 games and we're in the world series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy! Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) This kid is a pretty good manager. EDIT: I forgot to mention my favorite thing about Ozzie, which I hadn’t noticed until recently. After the final out in a win, his sons come over to him in the dugout, give him a hug, and Ozzie kisses them. My kind of man! Edited October 19, 2005 by Mercy!

Felix Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 If you are looking by terms of wins and losses, then yea, it can probably only get worse. But even I dont think anyone is going into next year expecting this team to repeat (I would love it if they did, but I just don't see it happening).

DBAHO Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Anyone see the votes? Suprised it was so close, especially with Macha. The top three Voted on by all 14 AL managers 1. Ozzie Guillen, White Sox (6 votes) 2. Ken Macha, A's (5) 3. Eric Wedge, Indians (2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 This is just more proof that we fans don't know as much as we think we do. How many of us, including me, dissed Ozzie or wanted him fired when we were slumping? Damn, this crow tastes so good. Feed me more, Ozzie.

Kalapse Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Just about every team's hometown fans dislike the manager or tend to be extremely over critical of him. It stems from watching every damn game of the season and having the oportunity to 2nd or 1st guess every move a manager makes during a game. Did you know a lot of Braves fans are upset with Bobby Cox for only winning 1 world series over the 14 seasons they've been in the playoffs? It's true. The managers that we see as being great and would love to have them managing our team are heavily scrutinized and in a lot of cases disliked by that team's fans.

Controlled Chaos Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Ah you know this kid, I tell you, I know he was gonna be good when he come to manage this team, cause he has a lot of heart. I no care if he has no managing experience, he is dedicated to winning and this kid is my MVP this year. GO OZ!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The managers that we see as being great and would love to have them managing our team are heavily scrutinized and in a lot of cases disliked by that team's fans. Could not agree more. Hell, people easily forget that Tony LaRussa, who is regarded as one of the better managers of our time, was booed every time he stepped out of the dougout near the end of his tenure here. I even know a decent amount of Cardinal fans who cant stand him. It all comes with the territory of being a fan. You can second-guess just about every move a manager can make. Ozzie has made moves this year that left me scratching my head. But in my opinion, the true measure of a good manager is if he can get the most out of the talent that has been given to him. And, for at least this year, I believe that Ozzie has done that and then some. Congrats Ozzie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
