funny, all true

QUOTE(Brian @ May 19, 2007 -> 01:26 PM) I agree. It seems every move he makes, someone disagrees. So basically, if someone on this board or any other board was manager, we would be 18-20, rather than 20-18. I think 18-20 is a little too kind for all the virtual managers,gms and owners.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 19, 2007 -> 01:20 PM) Its a known fact, every fan of every team hates their manager. Sometimes its warranted sometimes its not. Overall when I compare Ozzie's strengths and weaknesses to that of other managers, I think we got one of the better guys running our team. Well Said. A little too well said for an idiot.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:40 PM) Regardless of the price it left the team without a viable option in LF. no, people are just taking b****ing to a new level. When we lose people b****, when we win people b**** less. This is the most pissed off fan base I have ever been a part of. Seriously though, the partpoker guy should take his affilate linked thread out of SLAM and insert an affiliate linked tampon thread,

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:32 PM) Once again though, bringing back Pods for this year was a terrible signing, even if he cost $1. AVG .303 | HR 1 | RBI 2 | OBP .378 | SLG .455 you make no f***ing sense. At least make sense. Was he worth his salary? no. I don't care if he played 1 game, those numbers are worth a dollar.

well our last 2 managers have been Jerry Manual and Terry Bevington. I Guess I'll be a f***ing IDIOT!

Bulls are out, Warriors are out, Spurs and pistons are in, I think I'm done with basketball for the 06-07 season. Go Sox

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) I love these types of responses. Rangercal, please point out something I said today that you don't agree with. not many things you say I would agree with. You are a attention whore on these boards, you do it through b****ing and negativity. You b****ed every game of 2005. The act is so tired.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) The starting pitchers have gotten us this far, that and that only. when you give up more runs than you score and STILL have a winning record, the manager is doing SOMETHING right.

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) I acknowledge that you answered my question. But it's ludicrous how the onus is almost exclusively put on him regardless of what else happened during the game EVERY single time the Sox lose. It's annoying. I can not figure out what Fathom is doing posting on these boards? Surely a MLB team is out there that would LOVE to hire him as a manager? Ok, what about aaa? aa? a? high school? little league? tee ball? no takers? At least he has xbox.

Ozzie has managed this club to a winning record DESPITE the WORST offense in baseball! this thread=garbage

QUOTE(knightni @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) Most guys I met in Cleveland hated the Yankees more than the WSox - from the days they were in the AL East. I think that has changed a bit since 1 division changes 2 Albert Belle leaving cleveland to sign with the sox for the richest contract in the history of baseball at the time. 3 1994,2000 and 2005 were awesome years between those 2 teams 4 who could forget when Jerry Diputo threw the intentional Ball to walk Big Frank during his last at bat on the last day of the season (securing the RBI title for Albert Belle 128-129) Another note, Don't forget the Yankees and White Sox had quite a rivalry from about 1957-1964 . The Yankees won 7 pennants during that stretch ( only year missed was '59) The sox had four 2nd place finishes and the 59 pennant. Plus, it was a big deal to some die-hard yankee fans that Moose Skowron ( long time yankee who played with the Mick and Marris) played most of the remainder of his Career with the Wsox. Obviously with the 2 division allignments since those years, things have changed greatly.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:00 PM) Its a poll on whitesox.com. Is it really worth arguing or worrying about? No. exactly. People get their blood boiling over the most stupid things.

living inside the city most of my life and currently 4 blocks away from wrigley.. I can see why people picked the cubs. Out of town sox fans will have a different perspective. I don't see what the big deal is either way.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:55 AM) I would like to have heard what AJ said. Of course AJ wants to play. Especially against the Cubs and Barrett. I have no problem with him saying so. Now if he said Ozzie is an idiot and this is Bulls***...I shoud be starting, then AJ would be wrong. what AJ said is also on the scores webpage.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Ozzie has to be smarter than most people give him credit for. You don't win a world series if you are a completely phsycopathic idiot especially with that team. Its not like had a team full of all-stars that won it. agreed

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:44 AM) Detroit is nowhere near Cleveland and Minnesota, guys. One year does not a rivalry make. some may point to the brawl in 2000, Maggs leaving the south side for Detroit certainly would not hurt the rivalry. I would place them 4th on the list though.

Damn I love Ozzie! I wish he would b**** out some glass half empty posters here!

it's such a tossup between min/det/cle The sox have no real rivalry. It's no surprise the # 1 rivalry is voted the cubs. Only 37% voted cubs compared to 61% for the ALC trio. So that's not as bad as you think. One thing to note: I am almost 100% sure we are the # 1 rivalry for the Indians,Twins,Tigers and Royals. I'm sure the sox are most hated by all those respective fan bases.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:51 AM) Too bad Ozzie swore like 5 times, what an idiot Thats why we love him!

she's actually under weight for a Nascar fan

QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 17, 2007 -> 11:20 AM) Thomas Jones, Lance Briggs, and now Alex Brown. Something is going on behind the scenes. His contract is very cap friendly: 07 - $0.595 08 - $0.550 09 - $0.670 10 - FA Jones didn't want to split playing time Briggs is just plain greedy Brown is not happy with all the DE's we have. We just drafted another one.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ May 17, 2007 -> 12:55 AM) So at tonight's game I had the great fortune of sitting in the row in front of Ronnie Woo Woo... is he still dating soxman?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 16, 2007 -> 08:09 PM) Lets just say Rangercal has been with a lot of pretty fugly girls in his time what does that have to do with Amanda Beard not being attractive? Just because Ranger has been with a whole lot of flabby ugoes doesn't make Amanda Beard any better looking. She doesn't have a great face, it's hard to argue with that. I havent been with a fugly girl since the 3some with your mom and sister

QUOTE(Brian @ May 15, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) Overrated? She is never publicized or shoved down our throats.
