QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) our division being terrible does NOT make Ozzie a good manager. I am livid right now. I want Ozzie gone, want Walker gone, I want the whole goddamned team blown up. It will be interesting if we struggle for the next few weeks and have to go into selling mode. We have so many youngsters on the way, and Ozzie is not the manager you want in a rebuilding situation.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) couldn't agree more. and now that i think of it, if i was a fan paying to come out and watch this terrible play, the least I would want is to see Beckham play. Not that anyone cares, but I know at least 10 people who bought tickets for this game on Thursday so they could see Beckham play.

Mark Reynolds homering off of Carlos Marmol in Game 1 of the 2007 NLDS was one of the most shocking plays I've ever seen.

I'd be fine with the Trout pick except for the Rowand comparisons we'll have to hear. I don't have near the sources I used to, but one of my remaining sources tell me they don't expect the Sox to spend much on their top picks.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) If you want to feel better turn on mlb network their showing game 5 of alcs in 2005 Watching it now...the last 3 innings of this game are great. Konerko's AB coming up against KRod in the 9th is fantastic.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) He was giving the number for the position equivalent. And: "I just want to get Fields in there," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I have to make the lineup the best I can every day to make the kids play. I've got a couple of guys who have to play also." Great. It's pretty obvious that Ozzie didn't want to call Beckham up.

Link contains Ozzie's "excuses" for not playing Beckham. What a load of crap. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....p-saturday.html

Gotta love 4 lefty hitters against a pitcher who holds lefties to a .180 batting average and righties hit well over .300.

It took 3 months, but I'm back to hating Ozzie. If he can't handle playing rookies, then he needs to leave this organization, as there's a handful more to come in the next few years.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 05:48 AM) Greg Walker has needed to be fired since August of 2006. He's an absolute joke of a hitting coach, but it's clear that he could kill 3 people tomorrow and his job will still be safe, so that's a waste of breath. Although really, if you aren't going to fire your hitting coach when you're on pace to be shut out 27 times, you'll NEVER fire him. In fact, if you aren't going to fire him now, what's the point of even having a hitting coach? The only defense of Greg Walker right now is "these guys are professionals", which is a dumb argument anyway. If that's the case, there should be no hitting coaches, period. However, with that all said, there is somebody who needs to be fired before Greg Walker and that's our advanced scouts. It's clear they do an absolutely awful job, and if they got canned tomorrow it would be a good thing. Great post

Juan Uribe is still a great defensive player. Game winning play in the hole as a SS to win their game tonight.

It's ridiculous how many innings Hillman has had him throw already this season. You could tell last Sunday that this was bound to happen soon.

Swinging at 3 pitches in 3 at bats is the definition of cockiness. I knew we should have taken Smoak. The worst part of this is that it means the other guys at Birmingham also suck, as Beckham was the best of the bunch.

I wonder if Ozzie will make Bacon the scapegoat. I feel sorry for us fans who have spent a lot of money on tickets to see these games at the Cell.

Fire Greg Walker

Our hitters have really bad bat speed right now. Guys like Alexei aren't close to hitting it on the button.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:23 AM) Bonderman will be back to pitch in one of the games of the DH on Monday. First game since June 1, 2008. Predictions? Slayer will go 3-4

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:16 AM) Leadoff double. When is Ozzie gonna learn? When you don't win, you don't give save situations. All managers do stuff like this.

Outhustled...this team just goes through the motions, and makes losing look so easy.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 03:17 AM) Who finishes last: us or the Royals? KC

Guys, just think....we were this close to trading away all of our pitching prospects for of all things, a pitcher.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 03:10 AM) Let's make this fun guys. Beckham has shown the worst at-bats of anyone today, if you can even call them at-bats. Disagree, BA has.

seriously, how in the hell can Greg Walker still have a job?

We'll laugh at this in 3 years when Slayer's an all star.

I now know how Beckham got that awesome contact rate. Let's not overreact about Beckham's game tonight.
