"pretty good" front office

Hell of a lot of people on soxtalk tonight to congratulate Axelrod on his first victory

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:01 AM) He's been released of his contract but the Sox retain right for compensation should he find a managerial job elsewhere. So basically he's being traded. Nice, where did you hear that wording?

Wow, Hawk was a lot less upset about it than I thought he'd be.

So we're releasing him from his contract and not trading him?

Harold is crying

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:50 AM) He isn't a closer.. any GM would have seen that prior to the season... but, this isn't about Kenny mistakes.. Its how they are Ozzie's fault. Seriously? Santos wasn't given the closer job coming out of Spring Training.

I find it funny that after seeing Teahen swing and miss at so many offspeed pitches that we have Santos throw him fastballs.

MLB Network guys saying it's a brilliant move by KW and the Sox

MLB Network is great to have tonight

QUOTE (Gldfinger5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:24 AM) Who's going to make the g-d damn line ups tomorrow?? Great post!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:16 AM) I'm happy and I'm a huge Sox fan. I'm not going to talk about what I soured on him, because this thread is not about that. So with that said, thank you Ozzie for helping bringing the White Sox a championship. You are appreciated for what you did and the best of luck. The end. Great post

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:18 AM) HELL NO!!! I'd rather keep Ozzie than either of those guys. I'd gladly take Larussa and Duncan if it meant no Ozzie, Cooper, Walker combo

Bell, Cooper, Larussa, Martinez are the 4 candidates in my mind

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:01 AM) Not really no. The Marlins system is actually near as bad as the Sox. Christian Yelich and Matt Dominguez are about it. Dominguez is on the 40 man, I think

Marlins have any decent prospects?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) And a player who has already gotten himself into twitter trouble. Bernstein was saying today the Marlins want to ban twitter during the season for team employees after this year in all likelihood.

Two and a Half Men is unwatchable now.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) You got to love the prospects of a young team with already clashing personalities being run by a ego-maniacal blowhard who doesn’t believe in accountability. Especially when their superstar is the laziest S.O.B this side of BJ Upton. On the other hand, they're going to spend like crazy this offseason.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:52 AM) However he will be bunting. A lot. Yep, with Stanton up next to create an open base.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:51 AM) I think you are going to be severely disappointed with whoever our manager is. I just don't think they have the kind of affect on a game that you are thinking. Unless you are happy that he is gone just because you didn't like his tired act, which was definitely tired. It's not like we're going to get much better at a team because of this though. I agree, but it's a step in the right direction.

Hanley Ramirez has to be excited that he won't get disciplined for his lazy effort at SS.

Flowers hit his homer far?

It sounds like it was announced today because Ozzie told the players before the game.

Who cares about Ozzie being gone. GREG WALKER IS GONE too supposedly
