lostfan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) the old baseball idea of "can't lose your job to injury" is very stupid. if Ozzie just puts Wise back into the starting lineup day in and day out i'll be surprised and pissed. It's not just a baseball rule, guys lose their spots all the time in the NFL if they aren't that good and the guy that replaces them is clearly better. Biggest example, probably Tom Brady over Drew Bledsoe (and at that point Bledsoe was still pretty damn good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 There is no way in hell we would have won that division championship banner without OC. He may have been a jerk, but he did play some damn good baseball last year. Not really. I suppose Nick Swisher should get a standing O when he comes back?

Here's my thoughts on OC, he didn't want to play for the White Sox for at least $10 million, so he's playing in Oakland for $3 million. He's been punished enough. I don't like him, but I'm not going to boo him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes I can, but god f***in damn it, this is so retarded. Â It's even more retarded because Ozzie is actually sacrificing both offense and defense just to play Wise over BA. Hopefully it becomes evident within a few days that BA is the superior player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
