3E8

We started out so well against them.

For those of you who've played for real money on pokerroom.com, which payment method did you use and how did everything work out?

Let Gload play.

Under no circumstances will I ever root for either team.

The only thing on my dorm wall is the White Sox tragic number, and I update it daily. It is so sad.

Pauly stinks outside of USCF. We need to build a better road team. Carlos' home/road stats are almost identical.

I don't know who it would be, or if he would be available at the right time. Our players didn't respond to Manuel, very understandable. A leader he was not. They're not responding to Ozzie either. I think they view him as just one of the guys, a pal if you will. This being because of his age and attitude. This is a mistake in my eyes. He has to put himself way above the players, he is their coach. The few times I've seen him yell at players like they were little peons (Loaiza, Garcia) they immediately responded. He reminded them what their role was. I want Ozzie to use that fire he has on our players, instead of wasting it on umpires, MLB officials, and opposing managers. EDIT: I forgot the time he exploded in the dugout during the Angels game. Remember that? His son said it was the angriest he'd ever seen Ozzie. He let our guys really have it. All the players did after that was mount a three-run comeback against K-Rod and go on to win four straight games.

Maybe I'm just being that little kid who still believes in Santa Claus, but I honestly do think the right kind of manager really could turn these losers around.

No, note the sarcasm with which he says "Yes. Ozzie's a joke as manager." Implying he isn't. Then he goes on to the classic 'I'm sure you could do a better job' rebuttle, which never really makes any sense.

Is there a chance.... A slight possibility.... That both managers were bad? I mean, wow, a sample space of TWO MANAGERS. Just like you said. There's no way both could be uncapable to get the job done, right? Wrong. I'd say there are more incompetent managers in this league than there are competent ones. As long as we agree on this, there is a chance (greater than 25% mind you) that both Ozzie Guillen and Jerry Manuel had no chance at turning this team around. Although injuries made Ozzie's currect tenure more difficult. EDIT: Don't misinterpret this as me dismissing players for all blame.

I never said Ozzie wasn't a tremendous player. Because he was. But being a good player definitely doesn't translate to good managerial skills. They are completely different.

I'm surprised she wasn't named Maggliette.

Keep this in mind: OZZIE MANAGING A MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM IS A f***ING JOKE.

I'm a sinner.

Until you are hired as the White Sox general manager, I'm not going to believe you.

I think he was referring to the s***ty chains like Chili's, Applebee's, etc.

Truer words were never spoken.

I just plain hate Indiana as a state.

Chivalry isn't dead.

Here are some free agents the Sox should look to sign to help our needs. Pride Determination Heart Loyalty Intelligence

I've re-watched the game where the Sox played Atlanta at USCF when Wright pitched, and all I can say is he looked about as dominant as any visiting pitcher had looked against us at USCF all year.

I'm happy for you hi8is.

Can we include Chicago 'burbs too? My favorite restaurant by far is Traverso's.

Well I'm excited to continue talking to all of you diehard's throughout the offseason.

He's a big reason the Indians made it to the World Series in '97.
