http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay20.html My favorite line: I couldn't have said it better myself.

How about WIN OR DIE. Screw the trying part.

Rest assured, I have a plan. Hopefully I don't have to unveil it in two weeks.

Of course I am in. There is no other choice for me at this point.

If we miss the playoffs, forget about FA targets. I'll be advocating total destruction. And a total rebuilding effort.

Poppy Hidalgo, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS What's gotten into you though, mr. optimism?

Hey Ozzie, look at my avatar.

WIN OR DIE. Forget the trying part.

Reasons to not feel okay: 1) Cleveland is good. 2) We are not. 3)

My main question about the Rally Crede is... Can it overcome the Dumbass Managah JOO NO DA MANAGAH, I DA MANAGAH!

We all feel your pain and like you, everyone just wants us to get to the playoffs. These next two weeks are going to be a bumpy ride.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) And his biggest apologist, the guy who can't stop taking swipes at a class act in Jerry Manuel, always spouts off a good manager doesn't ask a player to do something he isn't capable of doing. Hey Hawk, are you watching the same games as us? Anyone who dislikes Ozzie Guillen cannot possibly stand to watch a game called by Hawk Harrelson. I'd rather watch the game muted than listen to Hawk's annoying excuses for everything this organization does, including our idiot manager. Harrelson is a clown just like Jay Mariotti says he is. That's about the only thing Mariotti has ever gotten right.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Reason #1: The Rally Crede is on our Side Reason #2: Jobu will soon be on our side (sig coming soon) Now I've seen it all. Where is the rally Borchard, please?

Yea, keep telling yourselves all of these things. You're setting yourselves up for massive heartbreak.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) I really hope I can get there for that. Me and the rest of the chat crew are gonna have PLENTY to say. Hopefully you start the HELL YEAH chant while you are on the mic.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) Worse.... :puke :puke It just never ends. Stupid mistake, after stupid mistake, after stupid mistake. Then I listen to Melton all the way home saying Marte was the right call, and should have been left in. :banghead :banghead :banghead Probably trying to help his chances for the Sox color gig by bowing down and taking it in the a$$ for the team. I could tell Farmer was pissed when Marte was coming in, I don't see why Melton would support a move such as this.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) The way this team is acting I can think of better uses for my hard earned money. This team is pissing me the hell off. Look at the bright side, we will get a huge ovation from the crowd when we call out Ozzie at Soxfest.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) Sitting in the front row of the upperdeck tonight, after that 8th inning,that was the 1st time in a LONG, LONG time I felt like I got punched in the stomach. Nothing else to say. I dont know what to say anything. Musta felt like you were watching Billy Koch.

I knew he was horrid at bullpen management when he used our entire pen the 3rd game of the season and left us with Jizzcan only to blow his load all over the field in extra innings. I paid my hard earned money to watch that botched management and its only gotten worse as the season has progressed...

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) Ozzie is an idiot. How does a guy go from being kicked off the team to entering every game? What does he have against Cotts facing right handed hitters? Has he bothered to check the numbers? Ozzie was in over his head when he got the job and the way he handles the pitching staff proves it. They are going to win 90 something games this year and they just gave him an ill advised extension, so he won't get waxed. What they need to do, besides telling him its really a good idea to have guys who can hit up and down the line-up, especially in the AL, is privately push out Harold Baines. There has been rumors he really doesn't like the bench coach position, make it good for him to do something else, and bring in a guy like Jim Leyland, who probably won't be available, but might, or another older successful former manager who maybe can teach Ozzie how to manage a pitching staff. As long as things remain status quo in that area, so will the White Sox World Series appearances. Disgusting today. Follow that up with a nice F*$K you Ozzie and you'll be at 4,000 posts.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) Not letting Cotts pitch is one of the many stupid moves Ozzie makes over and over, I also don't understand why he only pitches him 1/3 or 2/3 of an inning at a time when hes been the best pitcher in the bullpen since the break. Yet Marte remains our LH "ace" in the pen. What else does Cotts have to do? Hell I was a huge Cotts basher earlier in the year, but I have seen the light on this guy. He might be the best thing we have going in the pen, period.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:46 AM) Would you prefer the Jerry Manuel era again Alex? I'd prefer not to have a dips*** for a manager who puts in a reliever who essentially quit on the team into the game with the season on the line.... There is no way to explain why Jizz or Marte were ever used. Hell I would have left in Cotts. The guy has a .43 era since the all-star break. He's given up one run in that span. ONE! He can get out righties and lefties. He used to be a starter. Is it a sin to let him pitch to more than a batter or two?

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) I pray that they all go ready to win and ozzie doesn't do anything stupid again. You're going to need a miracle. The smart thing for him would be to let someone else, who knows what they are doing, make the decisions. The guy could get outmanaged by a first year teeball coach.

Sad part about tonight, it's probably not one of his worst botched games of the year. He's probably had a few others that have been worse. It's like a bad record that just keeps on skipping over and over and over again.

I can't wait to see his quotes after this one....
