Great, I see another thread going down the drain. Let me know next time information comes out about the actual transaction.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) AMAZING. Simply AMAZING. So does Ozzie manage in Florida for 2 games? Or what? And if Cora goes with Ozzie who manages the final 2 games for the Sox? Cooper

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) When did Kenny get let go? Please keep that nonsense out of this thread.

Wow, I didn't know it was Ozzie that said he wouldn't coach after tonight, and not the other way around.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) Plenty to celebrate. And I will, tomorrow at the game. Yep, not like he passed away or was fired. He'll get his wish, which is a contract extension as well as the ability to manage in an NL style. There's no losers in this situation right now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 02:05 AM) Too bad it had to end like this. Thanks for the memories Ozzie. I'd much rather it be this way than because of something he did or said.

Best case scenario so far it sounds like.

Shocked at the timing, as I thought they'd wait until after Buehrle's last start to do this and not take away his spotlight.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) @dan_bernstein Dan Bernstein As we first told you this afternoon, Oz met again w/JR today. Deal will be made to send him to FLA. Probably prospects, not MLB talent. 7 minutes ago via web This makes the most sense. Marlins don't have much in their farm system, but oh well.

Interesting timing if true. I don't think we'll be getting anyone significant from the Marlins, but I'm fine with just getting out of Ozzie's contract. I wish Ozzie the best as long as he keeps his mouth quiet and leaves with dignity.

Interesting hearing DJ and Farmer being critical of the Sox trying to make Viciedo be too patient.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 12:53 AM) According to multiple sources, the Sox and Florida Marlins are in the final stages of completing a deal that would send the never-boring Guillen to South Beach, ending his eight-year stay with the club he grew up white as a player and helped guide to a World Series in 2005 as a second-year manager. Where you see this?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 12:45 AM) yeah there's nothing "fun" about Ozzie making awful lineups game after game after game. I guess fun bad means: - sticking with awful lineups game after game - refusing to try and add energy to the roster by promoting players from the minors - refusing to retaliate as you lead the league in getting your hitters hit by pitch - letting your good friend Miguel Cabrera make the White Sox his b**** - lacking the courage to fire your buddies on the coaching staff

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) White Sox go from fun bad under Ozzie to just bad bad under someone else. Oh well, usually when ST gets something it really wants they look back on it 12 months later and berate the organization for doing what they demanded. How in any way was this year "fun bad"? This was the most bland, unimaginative season I've witnessed since I started following the Sox.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 12:30 AM) Fantastic. 12 would obviously be better, but top 15 is still good. Isn't this supposed to be a nice draft class? No idea to be honest, but it would be nice to pick before Washington in the draft as they'll likely take best available player regardless of salary demands.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) Are we assured a top 15 pick? I know it probably doesn't matter since we won't be signing any big free agents, but it's good to know we have that option. Yes, I believe as long as we don't win out and Cleveland wins a game, we lock up top 15 pick.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:10 PM) Let us sweep these Eskimos and go out on a high note Much rather we get swept and get the 12th pick

Boers and Bernstein saying that there's no way Ozzie is back next year.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Absolutely. In the grand scheme of things, it's much more important to restore public confidence in this organization than it is to wait until November in order to acquire Emilio Bonaficio. Excuse me, but Ozzie will have a love affair with Mr. Slappy Emilio

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) You Ozzie haters should want him to return. This team is so lousy he'll be guaranteed a horrific season and you'll really see him suffer in his last year in Chicago as his contract runs out. And that's why you never get it. No one person is bigger than the team. No one wants to see a horrific season next year, and you're going out of your way to say how lousy this team is "on paper". On paper, this team isn't bad at all. It's the execution that's terrible, and that's something that Ozzie has never been held accountable for.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 02:54 AM) the optimist in me says 1-2 isnt a death sentence, and it can be overcome. but this has to be the bottom, they have to take the next step. The pessimist in me sees this as what the bears are. Boers and Bernstein are going to go off on Martz this week.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) I don't think Person of Interest is for me. I want to like it but the Pilot just seemed too convenient. Just watched it as well. Caviezel basically played his Count of Monte Cristo character in the pilot. It's a great concept for a show, but like you said, a little too convenient.

Wow, that was an amazing trick play on the punt. Almost too bad we wasted it there.

Missed most of the game. Cutler been bad?

Watching the replay of the Mayweather/Ortiz fight. What a f***ing sucker punch. That said, I'm surprised there's not more talk of the fight being fixed.
