QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:39 AM) The only way we make a change at the top of the dish is if we trade for Marlins template player. A noodle armed Pierre might chase noodle armed Pods out of LF. Pierre is infinitely better than Podsednik right now. Pods makes Pierre look like Ty Cobb.

How many hangers are we going to swing and miss tonight?

Our 1-2...can you please do something?

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:35 AM) this fan forum is an extension of the stands packed with only whitesoxfans...... if some guy sittin next to me at a whitesox game with whitesox gear on yelled out "i hate you OZ, PODS & JC" it would definitely bother the hell outta me. OZ learned that if he doesnt have anything positive to say....well he aint supposed to say it.... I don't get the Oz comment. He's still saying whatever he wants in the media.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:34 AM) Mccarthy? I saw him at the Bears game with Rowand tonight.

What I simply don't get was that in the 6th inning, Morneau's AB was a huge out in the game. Thornton's proven he can go more than one inning in an outing. Why not make Morneau beat our best lefty?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) Well Thornton out now. Cotts and Riske going in the last inning was the Ozzie equivalent of letting Boone Logan face Hafner in the 8th up by one run because he was a lefty and there happened to be a lefty up. I disagree...this move was worse. At least Logan hadn't been in a massive slump prior to being brought in.

We only have Jenks and MacDougal left in the pen.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) Bevy once signalled to the bullpen for a reliever who wasn't there. It's going to take a lot more than that last inning to eclipse that. I still laugh at how Ozzie signalled for the wrong throwing hand, and had to bring in Politte to face a lefty instead of the lefty he wanted to bring in.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) True, but he surprising pitched pretty good today up until his natural mid game crises. We can use this line for 90 pct of his starts.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) There's no way around this. Worst inning for a manager (as far as being able to second guess his moves). easy logic is leave in vaz till he at least lets in 2 runs or go to bmac. easy pitch hit for the lf'der who should be in AAA (and sucking there). easy I just don't know what he was thinking there.. Pods in the minors would fit in perfectly with all the other guys who had a lot more power in 2004.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) So Pods doesnt get on base anymore. He doesnt steal. He doesnt play good D, he doesnt throw well. What does he do again. Oh I know. He stands statuesque as he takes strike three down the cock. He prances around LF lets balls drop in front of him because he plays on the track, then dives for a few so they can roll to the wall. He's a zero tool player.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) Riske still in.....Hang on Boys It's not a hold situation...he'll do better.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) We deserve to win this game in every way except the coaching department so far. But that could still wind us up with a loss. Don't forget that Vazquez continues to lack guts on the mound.

The 6th inning was the worst managed inning I've ever seen. Ozzie violated my #1 rule for a manager, which is to always put your team in the best position to succeed.

We might have just saw the worst managed inning in White Sox history.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Ok Fathom, why now? I am honestly speechless.

Pods is batting? You have got to be kidding me.

This better be Ozuna or Anderson.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) Looks like we have a CIVIL WAR~! here on Soxtalk.. I'm with Joey Cora that's all I know... He would have ran all of his soldiers right onto the battlefield without having the slightest game plan. QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) Why the hell would you leave Rob in against their best Lefty reliever? To have Anderson bat for Pods next?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) I accept others beliefs, but not if they will NEVER criticize Ozzie, regardless of what he does. That's fine, certain people are like that. Felix is a very optimistic person, and there's absolutely no problem with that. I used to argue with him all the time last year, but we just agreed to disagreed, and it led to better conversations.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) How about you get real and quit blindly defending our manager, even after he has an inning from hell. You can't prove he's better than anybody, other than the ring the pitching carried him to last year. I agree with you that Ozzie sucks, but don't be one of those posters who won't accept what someone else believes in.

Neshek has amazing splits this year. Uribe has no chance against him.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) Name one worse. Actually John Gibbons is worse, so I'll say Ozzie is the 2nd worst manager in the AL. Still not good. At least Gibbons has the balls to physically attack his players, and not verbally attack them.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 02:15 AM) a good friend will pick you up when you are down..... look we all know that BMac shoulda started that inning...but you dont hate nobody on our team damnit!!! I can hate them, but it doesn't mean that I won't root for them to contribute to this team. I honestly think thought that Pods and Cora are the worst MLB players/coaches at that particular position.
