RELEASE THE CASTRO! What a stud...one day, greg will ask him to play more.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 04:42 AM) I'd rather have Gordon bat 3rd. He's having a great 2nd half. Could not agree more with you

Nice hit Gordon...I still love you, Sale, Thornton, and Santos.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) You can't tell me you think Oz should have pulled Pena? Is that what you are saying? He can't go four innings against KC? Honestly, he shouldn't be expected to go more than 2 innings based on his previous history. He's been forced to be a long man this season, and it seems it's finally caught up to him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 04:38 AM) Bobby. Kotsay too, for that matter. Jones as well. And AJ. Hopefully Teahen and Juan and Omar are gone as well, with a tip of the cap to Juan and Omar right now. AJ, Teahen, Juan, and Omar will be back. Wouldn't shock me if Ozzie's dumb ass wants Kotsay back.

Yep Hawk, those agents in the Little League World Series consulted with Dr. James Andrews and decided they should start a great conspiracy on why pitch counts are important.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:35 AM) He won't be around next year, so he's one guy haters won't have to worry bout. Who's that?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:35 AM) Couldn't he somehow injure Kotsay simultaneously? The way things are going, Kotsay will hit .600 during the month of September and get an extension. People on this site will start saying things like "maybe he did just hit into bad luck this season...and his wife is hot".

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:34 AM) Teahen back to the DL!? Maybe we do have a chance. I hope that shoulder injury doesn't impact his power!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:33 AM) He ain't the only one. Putz, who was everybody's darling, also brutalized baseball. The home run by Roberts is still soaring as we speak. Pena really did a nice job tonight coming through for the team. Lilly can't even get a f***ing bunt down when we are trying to go from 2-0 to 4-0. Kotsay is miserable; Jones sucks; Rios can't get an extra base hit in six weeks; CQ can't hit on the road; our starters sucked at home vs. Minnie. Need I name more guys? Yet Jenks is the high priced closer who's inability to retire hitters as well as stay healthy has caused a terrible chain reaction to our bullpen.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:32 AM) Maybe Ozzie will warm someone up after the first 3 men get on here. At this point, if we're not even going to contend with Twins for the remaining 40 games, it won't even bother me if we lose every remaining game in heartbreaking fashion. Something is horribly broke in this organization right now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:31 AM) Awesome inning there. LOVE Jones starting tonight

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:30 AM) The media should show some balls and ask Oz/KW about standing pat now. A few weeks ago it sounded good. When Lilly and Viciedo were hitting and we were pitching lights out and had a bullpen. Poor Paulie pretty much demanded we stand pat. As far as Ozzie, this was predictable. You knew we were going to suck in Game 2 when Pena was announced. We lost game one when the grand slam was hit and when we sent the runner stupidly home. Greg, everyone in the media basically said KW was being ignorant for not making upgrades. As for now, no one cares about the Sox. They're a total afterthought in Chicago with the Bears starting. I'll be stunned if we get more than 22-23k for the Orioles series. KW and Ozzie had their chance to make a big addition, and they failed to deliver.

These 3 runs on 10 hit ballgames would be so much more effective in the National League. We have one home run threat in the lineup tonight...that's inexcusable.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:27 AM) He already stated that Ozzie should be here until he doesn't want to manage anymore. I find it ironic that greg caused a gigantic pro vs anti-Jenks argument on here, and since the ASB, Jenks has had one of the biggest meltdowns I can ever recall for a Sox player.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:26 AM) This game was lost when Pena was announced as the starter. Only hope is to slop one out. Doubt that will happen. At least we can start dumping players and bring up Flowers, Viciedo and hopefully many others starting Monday. Tyler Flowers is f'n brutal. If anything, Castro should be getting more at bats.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:25 AM) My stance is I love Ozzie, but hope you guys get your new manager so we can have a revolving door of managers in the future. Greg, you really have to just forget about 2005. Treat it as a memory, and not as the present time. How many of Ozzie's teams do you have to see fade after the ASB before you give up on him?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:24 AM) Ozzie Guillen is really becoming the dumbest manager alive. This is 2 games in a row where he's managing for the NEXT game. f*** the next game. Win the game you're in now. Linebrink's ass should have been warmed up before this inning started. Yeah, what game is he actually going to manage to win?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:24 AM) I don't understand how people still think Ozzie is doing a good job. I really hope he says something bad about Mariotti getting arrested so he can finally get fired.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:23 AM) Excellent decision to have Jackson pitch in a game that obviously wasn't going to play out. Now we lose 2 today and wipe out our pen for tomorrow. I cannot believe anyone still supports Ozzie. This team really sucks, as we cannot even contend in the AL.

Wow, Andruw's lazy ass not charging the ball costed us a force out. Hey Ozzie, wake the f*** up!

Wow, this didn't take long. Good thing we keep playing for one run with a relief pitcher starting the game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 05:20 AM) Moral of this season's story: A lot of us said that it was a miracle, albeit a pleasant one, we were in the race at the all star break. I mentioned I was hoping we would treat it as a new season and MAKE SOME MOVES to improve the team. We did nothing but swap Jackson and Hudson and no matter what we are hoping, we are NOT IN THE RACE. Unless Minnie has a complete meltdown it's over. All because the management was fooled into standing pat. (I realize they had a deal for Lance which was turned down by Lance; that would have been the wrong guy anyway). Hopefully in the future the Sox will become a team that adds players during the season. Last year we added Rios and Peavy; one worked out. The moral of the story is that this team wasn't constructed to compete in the American League.

I'll be happy if we're not trailing after this inning.

And here comes KC...yuck!
