If ozzie was a good manager that would make sense, however he is not. He consistently gets decent talent and under achieves. He also is a terrible in game manager and makes puzzingly bad lineups.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) And he's only here now because CQ got hurt. Its pathetic IMO. When you are below avg as a TEAM in a certain aspect of the game and you just happen to have one of the best young hitters in the minors waiting in the wings and you keep him in AAA, you are inept at your job.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:04 PM) Unfortunately the bench players don't always make suitable replacements. Out of 25 players few on this team can hit a baseball. At the same time maybe Kenny didn't push for some of these guys that recently came up from Charlotte is because he trusts that staff better than the Sox staff. The fact that one of the best hitters if not the best hitter in the International league didnt make an appearance on the roster until the end of Aug is egg on the face of this organization. We are a below avg offensive team, and NOTHING was done to correct this.

Of course Ozzie could have not played those players......

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) Cowley says that someone in the organization told him that even a playoff run can't save Ozzie. Good. Maybe they will get my renewal check in the mail.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) That's a fair question. I'd be more willing to give him another year without Ozzie to see how the team responds. I'm guessing poorly as usual. The team hasnt been underachieving because management hasnt given them enough talent to win. Dare we forget Ozzie's horrendous in game managing decisions and horrific lineups? Both of them need to go, stat.

ESPN the mag just came, the entire issue is about Vick. Awful.

Political arguments are gay and have nothing to do with baseball. With that said, I think its pretty obvious that Dayan needed to be up months ago and its a reflection on the org on how terrible they are.

Gabe carimi is just fantastic, wow.

douchebags

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) The key point is that none of these people really have any redeeming qualities. Most reality TV stars are that way. Its actually ridiculous how some of them got "famous" and what they will do to keep that fame. Disgusting.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) Welcome to America nowadays. The most famous bride of the year became a celebrity by f***ing a musician's brother on tape. Actually she became famous for first being friends with Paris Hilton who got famous for being a drunk whore.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) So a friend and i just got 6 tickets to the Notre Dame - Navy game in Dublin, Ireland next Labor Day. Not sure if i'm gonna actually be able to go yet but i figured if i cant i'll just sell the ticket. His dad has a pretty high rank in the military so he had early access to the tickets so that's why we had to jump on them. That could be quite the experience for sure Dude, you have to go.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 12:26 PM) No 2nd place finishes? God no. That would be awful. You conveniently ignored the second part of the post. Not even contending.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) And the last 5 1/2 years have been just that. Possibly, but this means no 2nd place finishes with the team contending during the season, this means the team is out of it from the first pitch.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) If I knew the Sox were taking a step back for a year or two for the greater purpose of having a consistent farm system and ability to produce their own players for 2014-2020, I'd be ok with a 99-loss season. Nothing is worse than a mediocre to bad veteran team, and that's what we've been given the last few years. Enough is enough. It takes more than a year or two to restock the farm system and establish top level young players. We are talking about several years of mediocrity, and even then its not a proven solution.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) I think so but I've never been. Greasiest sack of fries ever.

Is there a way to watch live TV through my imac?? For example can I tune into a feed of CNN while I work?

Warrant out for arrest for Jordan Jefferson. 2nd degree battery.

Doggie diner still open in Woodridge?

LIke it or not Stewart is going to be in the rotation moving forward. The org looks at him as a Jon Garland-type guy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) I still like my live hurricane idea. I would totally watch that. Especially if there was word of a big storm surge. The real world went through a hurricane in Key West and nobody watched it. I watch Jersey Shore mostly for Paulie and Vinnie, the rest is garbage.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) Yeah, no question about it. They need to go full-on All-Stars or no All-Stars. Survivor had the same issue last season... Russell didn't stand a chance, and then everyone rode Rob's coattails to his eventual glory. Shelly is the worst. She might be the biggest liar in the game's history, and makes no bones about it. There is seriously no one left worth watching with Dani and Big Jeff out of the house. That was what I thought was going to happen with these floaters riding Jeff's coattails to the final 4 or 5, but instead Shelly flipped which basically ends her run on BB though she doesnt know it yet.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) Well, she finally woke her fat ass up, I guess. f***ing floaters are going to win again. This season just turned to s*** for me. If Shelly or kahlia win it will be an awful finale. I think having the vets in the house made everyone a little too paranoid about getting the good players out early.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) I know, right? Tennessee picked up 15 recruits in a span of 32 days and I had nowhere to brag about it. Not that anyone would care since everyone here is a Big 10 fan. Thats a f***ing quick haul.
