QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) Toronto just f***ing loves it. Don't mention Toronto without referencing the best GM in baseball. He deserves that praise.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) I guess I am failing to see what most of you are talking about You had the audacity to say Ozzie is a good manager. I expect that from greg. As he clearly suffers from multiple personality disorder. I have higher standards for you.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) KW is worse. I have no problem with Ozzie, hes a good manager. I honestly think hes doing some of this s*** on purpose so he can go to Florida and get away from the clueless GM he is stuck with here. First you're getting married and now this?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Does anybody have whitesoxrandy's original post about this? I would love to see that. I do remember some people were saying nooooooo! but the consensus was total excitement about Dunn. I would have to say: well-played, Sir! I can say that my baseball freak co-worker had doubts too, although those were mostly about him being NL. Here's the original thread. I'm not about to look through it to find his posts. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79910 I will say there were more than a few that weren't crazy about the signing. But Randy was the most vocal.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) St. Louis says hi. They don't share their town with another team. We had the opportunity to seize this city. But this franchise has failed. They've failed even worse than I did when I gave my GF free reign to use my credit card after I had like 15 tequila shots this past Saturday.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 09:53 AM) It's actually pretty wild that the Sox have only made the playoffs once in a weak division since they won the World Series. It's not wild. It's pathetic.

Of course. greg knows we're homies.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 05:39 AM) I really just want to hear Greg's rationale on this, as he believes the opposite. I'll do it for him. Let's see: I can't believe Alex the waste of space is playing. What is going on here? I love Ozzie. But I want him fired. Until tomorrow when I challenge anybody to come up with a suitable replacement. Rios is a bum. At least try. Dunn? What a terrible signing by our horrible GM. He calls the shots. Tell Ozzie to go screw himself. Where's Jerry? What about the fans? Us? Kenny should go. Ozzie probably should go. But I don't want Ozzie to go. How could anybody watch this? At least the Royals try. What's the point when we're going to lose our next 17 games? How is this acceptable? Something needs to be done ASAP. I want Ozzie fired. No, I don't want Ozzie fired. Who could do better than Ozzie? Nobody. God f***, greg. How do you type like this? This sucks.

QUOTE (hawksfan61 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) Does Rios try hard at anything? I do think it requires at least a minimal effort to be as bad as he's been since the all-star break of last year.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) Now the curiosity is driving me nuts. Who was it? WHITESOXRANDY! I don't know if it was a case of him just throwing s*** at the wall...but he looks like a genius so far. He wanted no part of Dunn from the moment we signed him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:43 AM) The ratio of people who would give Frank a handjob, versus those who would boo him is astronomical. He is the clear cut most popular player in the history of this franchise. I'd give him one.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) Yes, if you're a moron. Those are ridiculous generalizations that you're making. I'll especially disagree with that Crede/Uribe and Rowand/Dye crap. I couldn't f***ing stand Crede and I liked Uribe for some reason. I thought Rowand was a complete boner and steroid abuser while I considered Dye one of the most consistent hitters in baseball during his tenure with the Sox. And I know a lot of people that thought the exact same way. Other than Heads, I don't think anybody from this board is racist.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) So how are everyone enjoying the 20-team league this year? :-) Ther's still lots of competition for the #7 and #8 playoff slots, things are gonna get interesting. I've sucked ever since I bragged about reaching first place. lol. I do like the league, though. Ton more strategy involved. Man I'm so glad I scooped up Dustin Ackley before anybody else got a chance. He's giving me Robinson Cano production so far. Definitely been a godsend.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) No one wants to trade anything. I do. But the rosters are so thin in this league that it makes it difficult to come up with any feasible trade proposals.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) I just saw the mocking highlights of ESPN on Dunn's hitting and fielding gems tonight. He really, truly should retire. He's an embarrassment. He really is. Not saying it's his fault. He is just a clown. It's not his fault that he's having one of the worst season's in baseball history since the dead-ball era?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Tons of other teams missed on him. I have no beef with the Sox not having him, as they've taken a chance on someone with a similar pedigree in Trayce Thompson. It's the pathetic picks like Phegley and MAC closers that really piss me off. I wasn't talking specifically about Stanton. Just the short-bus notion that draft position is this mythical roadblock to finding premium talent in a 50-round draft.

Dustin Ackley with a 3-run triple. .305/.366/.534/.900 coming into today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) Mike Stanton! 2nd round pick no less. But hey, it's ok that we can never find guys like this. Dreaded draft position and everything.

You know will finish 81-81. The worst possible scenario coming into the season. Will hear Hawk, Ranger, Merkin, Ozzie and KW spit something like "You know, we got career-worst seasons from so many guys and still finished .500. That's a positive. Let's do this thing again next year!"

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:43 PM) I don't think we've ever had a player in this organization who sucked as much. I'm not even sure the suck-o-meter goes high enough to measure his suckotivity. Adam Dunn just K'd while taking a s*** just so you wouldn't forget about him.

2 runs on 10 hits. Splendid.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) Way too much reliance by some people on here of guys like Dunn and Rios turning their seasons around after they haven't shown one sign of life all season. The season will be over for the Sox by Sunday, and then we'll have to pray for some waiver deals. If only the deadline hadn't just passed. Think the Red Sox might overpay with Buchholz out for the year?

I have a Mets fan friend that's laughing at the Dunn signing. And his team signed Jason Bay. That's how bad it's gotten.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) I think maybe some GMs would look past this year and at his other years. Maybe they would risk it. Ed Wade. Jim Hendry. MacPhail. Those are clearly the three worst. KW is in that second-tier.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) I'd put money on a few guys being dumped on waivers Unfortunately said players would have to be claimed.
