No one deserves more blame for this series debacle than Ozzie. Between playing Willie on Friday night, not doing the right thing by switching Ozuna and Uribe in the infield, and his just pathetic game today, Ozzie had just a horses*** series. Someone on the bench needs to step in and tell him some of the things he's doing during a game are awful: - Cotts should have never been left in to face Melhuse. We gave the A's that f***ing run. - Why do you pitch to Swisher with the open base?

Ozzie Guillen deserves a ton of f***ing blame for this sweep. An awful lineup on Friday night, and just a pathetic managerial game today.

When you have awful hitters against RHP up like Rowand and Widger, you don't give up the out to try and bunt.

What a f***ing joke. Do people really think we're a legit contender to win the AL? At this point, I think it's 50/50 we even make the playoffs. Way too many holes.

Time to get Rowand on the juice again. That pitch was right down the f***ing plate.

I hope he never plays another game for the Sox.

I hate the bunt in this situation!

If Willie doesn't get the job done, he better just start driving towards the airport.

Love to see how Macha is keeping Street in the game. Definitely the right move for the A's. We've been severely out-managed this game.

This game shows how inept some of our pitchers are at striking hitters out. How many hits have we given up with 2 strikes tonight? Vizcaino didn't throw a single fastball to Chavez or Swisher, and paid for it.

I'm sure glad Ozzie decided to pitch to Swisher. When are people going to realize that we've won far too often this year despite our manager? Trust me, I would love to just sit back and not criticize our manager....but this is f***ing BRUTAL!

This game rates up there with about the worst managerial games I've ever seen. Ozzie doesn't have a clue when it comes to on the spot, in-game decisions.

f*** YOU OZZIE GUILLEN! Why in the f*** would you pitch to the red hot Swisher there? I'm sorry, but our manager is a dumbass. Vizcaino can go f*** himself also.

These A's players sure know how to foul off the close, tough pitch instead of relying on ump to bail them out.

Come on Mike Jackson!

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) I can't believe that KW and Ozzie think Viz is efective for us as a releif pitcher. Or that Walker should be a MLB player, or that Ozuna can play 3b in the majors

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) Meatball walks chavez after being up 1-2. Well, this game is close to being over. This shows how f***ing useless Walker is in our pen, when we can't even bring him in to face 2 straight lefties.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) HOW DARE YOU! THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION!!!! I WISH YOU WOULD SAY THAT TO HIS FACE AND HE'D PINCH YOUR HEAD OFF!!!! FRANK THOMAS IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN SOX HISTORY HANDS DOWN! AFTER ALL HE'S DONE FOR THIS TEAM YOU DO NOT INSULT HIM LIKE THAT! Frank You Rob Deer wasn't a bad player, he just was a homer or nothing player. So far this season, that's what Thomas is. Luckily, his recent homers have been with men on base.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Viz doesn't allow a homer this inning.

Bad AB by Rob Deer....awful inning. Is Walker of Viz coming in?

That 1-1 pitch was definitely the one for Frank to hammer.

Blah. Give 'em a thrill Frank.

Wow, awful AB by Pods there. Seems like we're going to need a solo homer to win this game.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) I despise Crosby when we're facing Oakland. Last year, I was not impressed with him at all. This year, he looks like an absolute stud at the plate.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Yes, I know Timo is a loser, Aaron Rowand is a mix of Barry Bonds and Willie Mays, Willie Harris is the best 2nd baseman in baseball, I got it. I agree, I don't like Timo, but I'm a Sox fan first. If he does something to help us, I'll root for him.
