Ozzie will resign before KW decides to let him go. He'll take a few years off and end up a manager in the NL like Florida or Atlanta.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) I had to look up what this means, and it's so bogus for you to say that. Hell, I've been on here less in the last week than probably the past 5 seasons because I've been so disgusted by the performance on and off the field and didn't come on here to state the obvious. I absolutely think members of the coaching staff should lose their job for just terrible baseball being played, but I'm not about to start numerous threads on that, etc. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) It is fun seeing how many errors Jon Gilmore can make on a given day though, I will admit that. Just commenting on your post bashing the players that we got in the trades. With their 2008 outputs, Swisher and Vazquez were never going to get numerous top prospects or younger mlb ready guys. They just weren't good enough.

Schadenfreude doesn't become you fathom.

He's trying to say that KW didn't create magic blinders and trick the Yankees in the Swish deal. Honestly, I'm fairly satisfied with the Braves/Javy trade.

I blame nitetrain... for not PMing me.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) Anybody think the Rays will decline Crawford's $10M option? I don't. He's worth $10 mil easy. If anything, they'll try and extend him at a below market value price after enacting the option. Then, if they fail, they can trade him and say it was Crawford's fault that he wouldn't re-sign. (Good P.R.)

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 06:25 PM) Hello Chicago Pirates! Exactly. How's that different from the last few years minus 2005? 2001 - 83 wins 2002 - 81 2003 - 86 2004 - 83 2006 - 90 2007 - 72 2008 - 89 2009 - 80* (projected) Except the payroll would be way lower, which hopefully would equal lower ticket prices.

I'd be fine with a 65 mil payroll and a few years of 75 to 85 wins as long as it builds the minors.

Bay/Holliday won't be happening most likely.

He should gut his coaching staff sans Cooper or be asked to resign.

"Bead", Baconator. He had a bead on the ball.

Really starting to slow down here.

You're in the Yahoo League. PM me for details.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) Paulie and Rios to the bench, per Gonzalez. Makes total sense.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) Didn't we create a thread like this last year too? Someone find that thread, because I'm pretty sure I used the song "Won't Get Fooled Again." Apparently you were.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) I still believe that those 100 errors sped up to "Yakety Sax", would be excellent comedy in the offseason after this is all over. QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) When the Sox are in the field it should be the Benny Hill theme music being played. That's "Yakety Sax."

QUOTE (The Critic @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Can't fire him yet, he was just PUT ON NOTICE less than a week ago. It was the dreaded "Vote of Confidence."

Doubtful that they can beat the Yanks.
