QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Why can't Ozzie just keep his mouth shut? I agree, this team has to get past the damn soap opera that is KW and Ozzie. It's obvious he wants the Florida job and many of you will get your wish for a new manager. It's actually a good way for Ozzie to come back someday. Take another job now, turn Florida into a perennial playoff team, then come back to Chicago again when he needs a dose of hero worship at age 55 or so.. If he stays here much longer he will get fired as all managers are hired to be fired. Only way to come back to Chicago will be to take another job then come back again someday. It'll be tough to come back to the Sox some day if he's fired by the Sox now. He'll enjoy the Florida weather much. It's weird he wants to manage NL type baseball so much since he played for the Sox for so long in the AL. I wonder who gets the Sox job: LaRussa or Torre?

I wonder where he'll wind up next year. Where is Manny's next stop?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:45 AM) And greg, we know you want the Sox to win every game, and that you don't think draft placement matters. Please don't hijack that thread, thanks Hijacking the thread? If not for me there wouldn't have been a thread tonight. Not everyone memorizes my position on topics.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:40 AM) Our GM. I still can't figure what on earth Williams was thinking bringing him in. As I've said numerous times...Kenny has TOTALLY lost his touch. Either that or he got really lucky before 2005. Since then, he hasn't done jack crap and all too often he obtains players that 'make no sense', very often giving up far too much value in return. I haven't liked a Williams trade since who knows when. I liked the Garcia to Philly trade, that was the last one I liked. A lot of people on this board didn't mind the acquisition. I got roasted last offseason for blasting the deal repeatedly.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:38 AM) If you're dangling Danks or Floyd, someone will probably take his contract just as a "Ok, whatever. Where do I sign" Man I wouldn't be so confident of that. Nobody's going to want that piece of s*** baseball player. He is a fine person, though. I don't dispute that.

I forgot. Detroit's in the Central. Just another divisional foe owning us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:25 AM) totally agree....in a way, I want to see us lose every game the next two weeks QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:26 AM) Nahh. I'm not going to give in to the "Manny should retire" "He sucks" "dump him" cult around here. 1.) I want us to win every game. It's a flaw in my fandom. I seek wins. 2.) I resent you calling it a cult when my Jenks love was criticized roundly and I was in a one-man cult I guess. Your love of Manny is as perplexing as my love for Bobby (to some).

How could any Sox player want to get on tha tplane to Oakland tonight? Wait I know ... Most of em are millionaires and counting the days til they receive their next paycheck. And there's good food and drink on the plane. What was I thinking. Nice second half, bastards!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:23 AM) Greg is jumping for joy right now "THE BUM! THE BUM!!!" No I'm not. I watched that whole game. Did you??

Manny victimized by the Sox second-half hex. How could he take that pitch? He wishes AJ woulda hit into the predictable DP.

Well, who has a chance to be hero now?? Manny???

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:18 AM) He is either a super utility player (sadly I know) or he goes to 1B/DH's before that happens. I do hope we trade him. If we have to pay some of his salary so be it. He still has a decent average, maybe we can sell a team on that. Sure hope so.

You guys can't see AJ killing us next year when he's starting for KC?

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) Not a chance. Where's Teahen going?

Shoulda been a DP. AJ AJ please don't beat us every at bat next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:13 AM) Morel's going to be starting at 3b for the Sox next year. He has more value to the Sox than he does other teams, as it's not like he's a huge prospect. Teahen will be starting at third. He makes 5 million.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:13 AM) I hate our lives. Me too. That home plate view looked like it would be a line drive rocket home run. Now AJP double play and game OVA.

I worship Paulie but that was strike three. It's the second half hex.

What a season. Walkoff foul! What did the Sox do to anger the baseball gods???

That was a cookie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:08 AM) Are you going to say this about every ex-Sox? Maybe, until the hex ends. Even Betemit hit the Sox this year til that last series.

I bet AJ feels dumb about now ... again. 2 on no out.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:05 AM) holy s***, AJ is hitting .272? how is that even possible with how he started Just wait til next year when he hits about .450 against us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 04:04 AM) All pitchers are crappy at one time or another during a season. I thought most closers saved almost every game and that's why I almost got banned for praising Bobby.

As usual, Sox had their chances. Two walk off possibilities ... epic fails.
