Very impressive game by Pods today.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) Even if said knowledge is incorrect? It doesnt matter. I was just teasin the fact that he thinks he has sources. It doens't even matter that much. Again, who said it was incorrect? I have absolutely no reason to believe it was wrong. Rather, I think KW and the organization got their way over Ozzie. It would have been very interesting to see if Tracey got the call up if Hermanson was doing better, and Montero wasn't slumping.

A little off topic here, but on the radio the other day, McCarthy said it would take 15-20 days for him to get his arm strength up to 100 pitches if needed.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) He called him that before the game, we heard about it in the post game stories after the game. DId we play a 12-hour game I didn't know about? The stuff didn't break until the next morning, when there were columns about it in the paper that weren't included in the post game stories. The story was relayed to me by a baseball executive who was sitting next to a Tribune reporter who was covering Tracey's appearance in the minors.

Great job by Garland so far. He's really using all four corners of the plate.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Dye with the hat trick, If i were Oz i might give him the rest of the day off, and move Mack to Rf and Put Anderson in CF I might be wrong, but I think Padilla owned him last time at the Cell. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) I can say when I talked to Fathom it kind of verified what I had heard but not quite as detailed. Yeah, I've been very open with you regarding who and where I get my information from. I think we can both say we hear a lot of "information", but you have to choose wisely about who and what to tell.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) LOL. Don't pretend you have sources. It's not becoming. HA! I think Flash, more than anyone else, can confirm my sources. I was also the person that knew about the Sox top 10 prospect list a week before anyone else. Are your sources still saying that Pods is a better leadoff hitter than Sizemore?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) Is this another one of your sources? Ha....there's been plenty of information I've heard that I've told people, but I don't share with the masses on here. And get this....the Tracey information I was told was confirmed again. Either there's a massive liar within the Sox organization, or Ozzie changed his mind.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) Is Jon or Gload mute? YELL SOMETHING GUYS Sometimes I've wonder if any of our guys can actually hear. There's been like 10 near collisions in the outfield this season.

Kinsler is a big batter in this game.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) His antics anymore are beyond unprofessional and it needs to stop. This whole schtick is getting very very old. I've heard that KW has gotten very tired of it also.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) I was kidding, for what it's worth. Vazquez wasn't asked to plunk because he was a starter and the warning had already been given. Montero? I don't know. Tracey was a minor leaguer about to leave, anyway, and Garland was asked to do it because no warning'd yet been given. or how about Garcia to start the game yesterday. Ozzie had said he'd hit their guys if the Rangers hit one of ours, and Pods had been hit in the 9th inning before. In no way was I trying to start a race discussion.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) Fathom: where did you see the footage you saw about the yelling? They showed it on Comcast.

Holy cow...a clutch hit!

Very nice. I'll take it however we can get it right now.

Damn...why can't their pitcher throw it away just once???

A hit-and-run? Great call by Ozzie there. Another bunt for Gload is upcoming.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) Are you kidding me? Ozzie's going to be managing this team for a long time to come. No, I'm quite serious. And I think Ozzie will either resign or wear out his welcome sooner rather than later (in the next 5 years). QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) I can't believe that Ozzie went off on Garland after he did not hit Kinsler. Ozzie needs to stop worrying about who is getting hit and start worrying about how to win a damn ball game. I am sure Ozzie will want Garland traded now because he is not a "team player". Jon has more balls than anyone on this team and he has not been afraid to hit anyone in the past and he is not afraid to hit anyone in the future. I am sick of Ozzie flappin his jaw and worrying about "protecting his player". Shut your mouth and win! I still find it amazing that he ordered Garland and Tracey to get revenge, but he never made Montero or Vazquez do it.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:05 PM) Definitely. The manager who led the team to its first World Series title since 1917 should get removed for yelling at a pitcher who can't complete a simple order. How about the manager show some professionalism and worry about getting his team out of a slump instead of getting revenge at Showalter?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) I haven't really been watching. I've been going back and forth to the kitchen for lunch. Ozzie yelled at Garland? Was it bad? Televised or on the radio? Anyone have a clue what Guillen was saying? Yes, it was really bad. Thome actually walked close to it, in case he needed to break up the conversation.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) No kidding. Ozzie should be congratulating JG for getting Young to hit into a DP rather than being pissed because he missed Kinsler twice. What a joke If we go on to lose today, there's going to be a lot of crap going on after the game with Ozzie/media/etc.

It will be interesting to see how Garland responds this inning after the words of encouragement from Ozzie.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) Jon had a convo with Ozzie and I'm dead serious when i say this and I have some other knowledge on the subject, but if Ozzie goes off on Jon thats it, I vote for him to be fired immediately because i Didn't condone what happened to Tracey and I sure as hell wouldn't condone it if he did the same to Jon. You won't see a manager berate a player in the dugout more than that. At least Ozzie cares more about winning than getting revenge.

And Ozzie goes off on Garland in the dugout. Can we trade managers at the deadline?
