QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) I've wanted Ozzie gone since last summer. Thing is, Fenway is a terrible park for Juan to hit with the LF being able to play so shallow. Trying to bunt the runner to third to get Juan up for one out is a very unlikely sac fly situation.

I love the sign in the pregame for the Braves last night where one of the fans held up a sign that said "Stop Bunting!"

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) How does a 3rd base umpire make a call while looking at home plate? That's actually a very difficult decision when you consider if there's a check swing, he has to be the one making the call. Just a fluke play. Of course Hawk hasn't realized yet how awkward of a situation it is.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:31 AM) Oh God. I'd love to hear your reason for disagreeing.

The top of the 4th was the worst managed inning of Ozzie's career, in my opinion. He needs to take his ass and go to the National League.

That's the type of inning that should get Ozzie fired immediately. Nice AB Juan. I'm not sure Lester threw more than 2 strikes that inning.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:27 AM) I sometimes want us to lose. He makes me sick. I'm right there with you. I no longer get upset when we lose a few in a row cause it makes it more inevitable that arrogant POS gets let go.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) Benched. He should be, he's an awful bunter (and pretty mediocre at everything else)

Ozzie continuing with one of the worst managerial seasons you can hope for.

Playing for one run in the 4th inning against this offense with bad Peavy on the mound = f*** you Ozzie

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:24 AM) Good job, Gordo. Gotta strike this inning. I haven't seen Lester look this mediocre in a while. He might have looked worse vs the Cubs earlier in the month.

Nice eye! DO NOT BUNT!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 12:18 AM) I doubt he goes more than 5 tonight. I missed first inning. Has Peavy gotten a swing and miss yet?

Is it me, or does it seem like on this road trip, the opposition is doing a great job of running at the right time in order to break up double plays or create holes in the infield?

That slider had very little bite also. He doesn't seem to be letting it fly tonight

Sox might want to limit Peavy's pitch count this year

Peavy has nothing tonight. His fastball has been bad last two games

It's so sad that we could have Viciedo playing everyday in LF instead of Slappy

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Ahh yes, rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Hope some of you are right and it's an actual trade, though. It is quite pathetic that Harrell and Marquez are still options to make it to the big league team.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) CST_soxvan Daryl Van Schouwen Bruney, marquez up; mcpherson, harrell down 2 minutes ago so when Teahen comes back, is that when a possible trade would take place?

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Because he just had the worst outing of his career, and insulted the game's best hitter on the field. I sure as hell hope we're not dealing him at the lowest value of his career. Thing is, I doubt Sunday's start would have any influence on a trade. If they're making a huge move now, the trade has been in the works for a few weeks then. KW and Ozzie hinted at this last week about how after June 1st, they'll be down to a 5 man rotation.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) It'd be an odd time to send down Sale so I don't think that's happening. Especially with all the lefties on Boston

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Well it sure as hell isn't going to be Danks getting dealt then. Why you say that?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) That was my first thought. You have Marquez taking Harrell's spot. Bruney is either taking Sale's spot (very unlikely, as that's basically throwing in the towel for this year) or he's going into the pen as we go from a 6 man to a 5 man rotation with one of the starters no longer being on the roster.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) I challenge you to watch any other game and not point out five to 10 glaring errors by the manager of the losing team. Managers who manage good players win; managers who manage bad and/or/ lazy players lose. There are the rare buffoons like Bevington. three best managers in the AL, in my opinion, are Acta, Scioscia, and Maddon. Even last year, I thought Acta made some terrific tactical moves during the game to put his team in the best chance to succeed. I'm of the opinion that in the end, it's up to the players to execute. However, the manager is responsible for putting those players into a position where they have the best chance to succeed. It's blown me away this year how poorly Ozzie has done this. If Ozzie Guillen cares more about Adam Dunn's feelings than trying to win games, then I hope they're happy when he's managing Dunn for the Newark Bears in 2013.
