QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) OK. Name me another that has contributed 3+ wins to his team. EDIT: Yikes, don't post after a few drinks.... "great grammar" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You deserved those drinks after that Dye home run.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) OK. Name me another and which 3+ games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think were on the same page here, Cowbell. I think the mere thought that Ozzie Guillen's managerial performance in games this season has cost this team dramatically and in no way has done anything remotely close to helping this team win ball games. It would be hard off the top of my head, but if you still want managers who statistically could be credited for 3+ wins this season, it can be done.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 03:38 AM) Name me a manager that's won 3+ games for his team this season. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well according to nine people on Soxtalk, Ozzie Guillen is one. :headshake

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 03:32 AM) However, do you honestly think the White Sox are 35-17 with a different manager at the helm? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ozzie may be this "glue" you speak of, but it most definitly isn't because his managerial skills.

All five of you, please name the 3+ games that Ozzie has contributed to the win.

Ranking General Managers David's pieces are always very interesting, this one doesn't dissapoint. Not to mention, Theo Epstien was rated the best geneal manager in the game last season, which means his formula is clearly working.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:27 AM) ESPN aired the 9th inning commentary from Brantley/Stone on Sporstcenter. While I dislike Brantley, he mirrored our sentiments of Guillen's questionable managerial moves today. Focus of the highlight was on Buehlre allowing two baserunners to reach, whereas Hermanson continued to warm in the bullpen. He appeared very pissed off glaring onto the field. Many people across the nation, if unaware before, treated themselves to quite the spectacle Ozzie, on occasion, may be. Guillen's "gut decisions" almost cost the team a victory yesterday. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ozzie Guillen has cost the White Sox many games this season, and almost has cost this team every game this season. It makes you wonder why anyone in there right mind would want to keep a bad manager around through 2009.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 27, 2005 -> 04:58 AM) Timo is the worst offensive player in the majors. Not only can he not hit, but he makes terrible decision on the bases, and he's an absolutely terrible outfielder. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and he's slow, and he's stupid. so again, whats his purpose on a major league roster no less for the best team in baseball?

add Danny Wright to that list.

I just remembered.. he's clutch..

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 27, 2005 -> 04:49 AM) He isnt the worse player in the majors... but he isnt good thats for one... I think he is mostly there because he can talk to everyone... he knows japanese, same hometown as Uribe, and can speak english he is there for his club house presence and as Ozzie's personal bitz. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Name one player worse than him not named Kevin Millar.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 27, 2005 -> 04:43 AM) Give everyone else self confidence knowing they aren't the worst player on the team. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would have to look through all the 25th players on each teams roster, but I can't imagine anyone being worse than him. He could very well be the worst player in the Major Leagues.

I would rather forfeit the roster spot than have him on this team.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:40 AM) You're calling Lyle Overbay a stopgap and are suggesting that Ryan Sweeney is a better prospect than Brian Anderson. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The argument can be made that Sweeney will be a better player than Anderson; however no argument can be made that Ross Gload and Lyle Overbay are comparable in any way imaginable.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) No harm, no foul. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) OK, I'll play along Why trade your 2nd best OF prospect, and your #3 prospect overall, for a STOP GAP 1Bman, when you have a perfectly capable STOP GAP 1Bman already on your roster in Ross Gload? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your comparing Ross Gload to Lyle Overbay.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) You said: I'm just saying, he's a fine middle of the order hitter. No, he might not be a good defensive firstbaseman, but offensively, he is. I'd tend to think that he'd make up for his defensive problems with his bat, but Oakland fans have told me otherwise. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Misunderstanding. I apologize.

I am convinced that Sweeney is the better player, so I believe Anderson should be made available. What the White Sox do with him is obviously not my decision but if it involved a stop gap like Overbay I would be satisfied.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 23, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Well, you made it seem like Durazo is bad at the plate. He's not a good fielder, but he's perfectly fine as a middle of the order hitter, whether you choose to recognize it or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didnt make it seem like he was bad at the plate, I only said that he isn't very good against left handed pitching and that for a World Series contending team he should not be the starting first baseman mostly because of how poor he is defensively.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 23, 2005 -> 01:48 AM) The brewers would laugh at the thought of contreras. Not because he is bad... because he is a free agent after next year and pretty expensive for them. They are all about youth and contreras is not exactly young. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Texas is his most likely Contreras' destination. It would be interesting to see what they would give up for him...

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 23, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) .378(14 for 37) 2 HR 8 RBI, .410 OBP, 1.059 OPS vs LHP this year disagrees. His .278 5 28 .773 splits from last year, while not spectacular, also disagree with you. The only reason we would should have little interest from him is the reason why the DBacks traded him in the first place - he is too injury prone while playing in the field. Another thing...what would it cost to get Overbay? If the deal was centered around a SP, like say Contreras, then the Sox would have to give some money too. Odds are also very solid that Contreras alone would not get the deal done. It takes a good amount of value to get value. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He is significantly worse against lefties than he is against righties over his career. 37 at bats this season aren't going to change my mind to the least. Not only is he too injury prone, he is a terrible first baseman. He should not be considered for the starting first base job for a World Series contending team, he just shouldnt. Overbay might cost quite a bit, but I don't really think he would cost an astronomical amount like some of you seem to believe. Anderson for sure would be enough to land him in my opinion.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 22, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I'd be a rich man if I had a nickel for everytime I was jokingly told to "f*** off", "go to hell" etc..... And thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am a rich man. Whats a nickel?

- Podsednik should and will stay in left. - Durazo cannot play first base nor should he be relied on in the middle of the order considering he can't hit lefties whatsoever. - Kevin Millar may be a freindly guy in the clubhouse but for his production or lack there of I wouldn't want any part of him, and this is coming from a Red Sox fan. He's a great guy, but hes nearly worse than Curt Schilling in terms of him trying to be some larger than life celebrity. To be honest, I would love to see Lyle Overbay in either a White Sox or Red Sox uniform. His swing in Fenway would be to die for, and the same can be said for US Cellular. With Prince Fielder on the rise, he could very well be expendable. He's a perfect fit.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ May 6, 2005 -> 03:18 AM) might i say first of all, terrific game watched the whole thing, that was the right call at the moment against pierce, definitely deserved to be T'ed up <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You dont let the officials decide the outcome of a game. They tried doing so. Paul was clearly at fault, as was Tinsley, but I still never give him the second technical in a deciding game of a playoff series.

Jermaine O'Neal shot more free throws than the entire Celtics team. The NBA is doing all it can to get a Detroit/Indiana rematch.
