Deja vu? Vazquez isn't feeling well due to an ear infection.

Griffey's playing? Obviously, one thing is clear: Ozzie spent the day off watching Little Big League. Junior...you gotta do whatcha gotta do. Just don't fall for the hidden ball trick at the Twinkie Dome again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) The only way you see those guys on the mound is if we are getting our asses kicked. Disagree, one of them will pitch in an important situation sometime this series. I'd much rather it be Logan, as he's had some good outings vs Morneau in the past. On the bright side, at least Ozzie can't let Masset face Morneau.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 06:00 AM) Why you can't blame the 72 win season on ozzie? Do i really need to point that out? Having 1 guy in the bullpen, 2 sometimes 3 decent starters, an entire team in a hitting slump, etc. How is any of those things his fault? Thats like saying "well if the pirates had a good manager they'd be contenders". If the team blows/underperforms theres only so much a manager can do. Well, then when is it ever the manager's fault? Don't most teams that have a disappointing season have a lot of injuries and underachieving players? This isn't just for Ozzie, it's for everyone.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) Not really, even with his ups and downs he gives innings and typically keeps the club in the games. Plus his contract is what I'd call affordable given his performance. The only way I could see him elsewhere is if the Sox dealt him for some significant parts. But if you have a manager openly questioning a key players ability to step up in the clutch, it just makes me think that if things go bad, they'll look in another direction this offseason. It really doesn't bother me either way they choose.

Anyone think this could be the beginning of the end of Javy's White Sox career?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) More overreacting to a couple bad games. He has been manager for almost 5 seasons now, he owns: well over a .500 record, 1 bad season which you can't blame on him anyway, 2 90+ win seasons, 1 playoff berth that should have been/be 3, and 1 championship. What constitutes a "good" manager in your eyes? And why's that?

I was at the Melido Perez no-hitter there.

Just win one game.

I feel bad for Peanut honestly. He'll take this loss harder than anyone.

Hey jphat, there's your shutout! Enjoy the next 52 hours before the series of the season starts.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:30 PM) As disappointing as the Sox can be at times, I am grateful they are not the bears. Such an overrated organization. Has anyone underachieved at their job more than the new defensive coordinator? I'm sure even SSI would say that Greg Walker is better at his job.

66 pass attempts for Tampa, and not a single sack for the Bears.

Yep, Bears lose. Fire the Defensive Coordinator before he even gets back to the locker room.

Bears about to lose. Peanut Tillman with the worst penalty I can remember in Bears history.

Peanut, you stupid motherf***er.

Oh boy, better not be a personal foul on the Bears.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) OT...Rashied Davis sucks What happened on the 3rd down?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) Jenks When were you elected to the Hall of Fame? I'm upset you didn't have me give your introduction speech.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 09:14 PM) Ozzie is way over-managing this game. Who's in, Dotel or Jenks? If it's Dotel, I might punch my computer.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Dropped a pop-up. I am following the Bears online. The Bucs are just marching, huh? Huge intentional grounding call.

Well, we know Alexei works hard to have that terrible defensive zone rating.

Watching Bears, what did Alexei do now?

The Bears need to fire both their offensive and defensive coordinator the second this game ends.

Nice prevent defense by the Bears, but legitimately nice D by Alexei!
