QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) If Ozzie was GM, a lot of this dead weight would be off the team HA! Thanks sin, that was the funniest thing I've heard all season.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) #163 Good call Blaze...and nice AB from Rios. Pitches down the plate are overrated.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:44 AM) uh....how about at least attempting to block the plate AJ There's a reason we have to have the least amount of outs at the plate over the last 5 or 6 years. Hell, I can't remember the last time we threw a runner out at home on a close play.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) Sox just look so flat. Be a miracle if we come back and win this one. But Ozzie does a great job of keeping our players motivated. 4 straight just flat and heartless efforts. Teams looks like they're ready to hit the golf course.

And we're probably going to lose now. Just a sad performance by Buehrle against a very weak hitting team.

Of course...seriously, stop giving him pitches to hit with RISP and open base. Awful stretch by Buehrle there, as he gave a terrible hitter a great pitch to hit on 1-2, and then he failed to hold him on.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) You might want to focus on other sports. Might we recommend the 4x100 men's relay?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) If you had 3 speedier guys to bat at the top of the lineup, that would be a scary offense. You must love watching college softball games where they slap bunt the whole time.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) I think Ozzie could do a great job wearing both hats You do know that he said earlier this year that Juan Pierre would be batting 4th in his ideal lineup. The media asked him 3 times if he was joking, and he said no. He would make Hawk Harrelson look like the greatest GM ever.

Haha, you have to be kidding me. Hell of a play by Fields.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) Any chance Ozzie is named GM/manager? Kill me

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) Interesting. I hadn't heard that being out east. I actually like the role Hahn is in now. Hahn will either take Sox GM job this offseason or he'll go elsewhere. Definitely a hot commodity.

That's the Fields we all remember!

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) Is it Garcia or Hernandez? I'm pretty sure I heard Stone call him Hernandez. It's Hernandez...Angel Garcia is a basketball player for Memphis.

Might as well pull Beckham, he's not going to do anything productive tonight.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) What makes you think something like that is going to happen? (Not being critical, just curious.) Lots of talk inside Sox org, in the media, etc. that KW is going the Paxson route of becoming Sox VP, etc. and Hahn takes over.

Beckham's swing is ridiculously long tonight. Doesn't look like he's seeing the ball well at all. Hopefully he runs into a pitch.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:24 AM) The street goes both ways here. West has been an asshole for a long time, Ozzie just called him on it. And I think Angel Garcia took his cues from West, both times he made the balk call, he hesitated, then made the call. Thats bulls*** Angel Garcia of East Chicago fame? Ha...I did like though how Ozzie was basically telling Joe West to F off.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:24 AM) Fathom, since this is a quiet game thread; percentage odds that Hahn is named GM in the off-season and he gets a chance to reshape this mess heading into 2011? 60%...assuming we just go quietly into the offseason.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) Isn't Angel Hernandez the loser umpire that threw out Mongo at Wrigley after the 7th inning stretch? Looks like we have the All-Ego Umpire crew on the field tonight. Yes he is, and he's also one of the most disliked umpires in all of baseball by the players.

Way to go Mark!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 02:20 AM) I wish Ozzie would have punched the f***ing umpire.....it would have been well deserved. I actually agree with this...and that would have been an easy 6-4-3 DP.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 02:17 AM) are these real balks or Joe West balks? Either Joe West and his crew are the smartest umpires on the planet....or they're a bunch of fat c'suckers with a vendetta.

And this is why you don't make it personal against an umpire.

Another balk....screw this umpiring crew. Seriously, it's a good thing Hawk isn't broadcasting.
