fathom

He has no idea how to manage these players. His inability to put guys like Garcia, Vazquez, Mackowiak, Thome, Anderson, and Gload in the best position to succeed is sickening.

BTW, another 5 run performance by Garcia. That's becoming as predictable as Vazquez's breakdowns.

SWING THE f***ING BAT!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) That's what terrifies me. If they get rained out today, their rotation will be a little better in our series since they'll be able to pitch Beckett. I know he's sucked lately, but he's better than what we would have faced.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Apparently not the White Sox. I love how you bring up the fact that Hawk and people on this board said Ozzie would never let the team sleepwalk through a season like they're doing now. QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) Agreed, Jose + Gload + Uribe + Cotts to Baltimore for Tejada + Daniel Cabera. Ha...there's not a person on that list the Orioles would want.

QUOTE(bunkerf16 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) Question for you Sox fans........how many in here thought Ozzie was a good manager last year, and how much of the "Ozzie Sucks" mantra going on here is because of frustration with how the team is playing......Did you guys think Ozzie sucked last year too, and they won dispite him, or has his management style changed since last year..... Thanks..... I thought he sucked last year. However, when you have amazing starting pitching and a bullpen which is untouchable, any manager will get good results.

The biggest chance this team needs to make is with their manager. His recent quotes illustrate that he has no clue how to manage this particular personnel.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) It would suck to get swept by the Red Sox. And I think that just might happen. If Ortiz is back tomorrow, then I think it's very possible. Any word on Manny's status?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) The AL wildcard is just about who sucks least down the stretch. I hope everyone now realizes how bad of a manager Ozzie Guillen is. People forget how terrible he was in the last two months of last season last year. Thankfully, our starting pitching ruled in the postseason. Ozzie made two terrible calls in the postseason last year (bringing in Marte and Hermanson), but luckily got bailed out. QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) World Class Cheerleader.....Piecebb of s*** manager. That's the problem....he's not a cheerleader this year.

If we don't make the playoffs, this season can't end soon enough. It's hard to really enjoy watching this team right now. Ozzie should thank his lucky starts that Dye and Crede have allowed this team to be over .500 this year.

Is it possible for a manager to choose the wrong thing every time? I'm convinced it is after watching this series. Thankfully Gathright was brought in for the 7th inning, or we're looking at a likely sweep.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) jphat would say the homers were just bloops hit on great pitches. Yep, Garcia meant to hang that pitch to Shealy.

Want to play a little deeper Uribe? I HATE YOU OZZIE GUILLEN!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Ozzie f***ing up so much Since game 2 of the season, and hasn't stopped much since then.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) How can anyone even defend Ozzie anymore? And bah, I hate BMac in close/late situations with short outings. It's too bad the good posters don't come in here, as they're about the only people that do defend him. I'd love to hear what Wealz has to say about this game.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:36 PM) why freddy garcia started that inning blows my mind. Why Neal comes in blows my mind even more. And some dumbasses will still argue that he doesn't try to get his buddies the win every time they're on the mound.

I wish Ozzie would have stuck to his word and quit after we won the World Series.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Does Ozzie want to win this game? Why do anything different and panic?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Ozzie you f***ing moron you never cease to amaze me. Get a clue. Can the bus home with him, Cora, Garcia, Pods, and Uribe get lost for the next 30 days?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) omg! ozzie is actually taking out the starting pitcher! What a shocker...one batter too late.

I'm sorry, but is Ozzie trying to get fired?

Freddy's still in!!! I HATE YOU OZZIE GUILLEN!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Luckily, we have the meat of the order coming up for the 9th. We're going to see Mackowiak, Cintron, and Gload

PK's homer earlier is definitely not going to get him out of pull mode.

Good job Jim!!! You should only be hitting against righties, but way to deliver.
