QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) I agree.. then how did the sox win in a hitters park in 05 and why havent the padres or braves won a w.s. recently? and the yankees won a w.s. in probably the best hitters park lol

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:20 AM) Out of curiousity, if the Sox have a new manager and Dunn bounces back to near career norms, would you then think Ozzie is part of the problem here? It sure happened with Nick Swisher and Javy Vazquez once they left here. i dont think so. javy just blows lol he was really good in 06 with ozzie then sucked in 07 with ozzie. yea he did good for the braves but then sucked with the yanks and did so so with the marlins this year. and swisher and dunn, swisher we dont know what could of happend the 2nd year and we dont know with dunn either. i think that when a hitter loses himself a little, like gets into a long slump and his stance gets out of wack, walker cant help and thats the problem. like beckham. now he cant hit 88 mph fastballs?? thats not ozzie or just beckham being garbage theres something wrong there

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) Do you want to explain how veterans consistently fail in Chicago, and yet that is Kenny Williams fault? were not saying its kws fault. but its not ozzies either. if anything it has more to do with walker , i think, and thats why kw got into a huge fight with him. but basically were saying he should be held accountable not that theyre failing because of him

lets just get dave martinez and end all this madness

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) Its true, once a player who has been consistent for the better part of a decade has one bad part of a season, he's "on the decline" and should never be signed to a big money contract again. pretty much, look at dye. and my point of mentioning it isnt that they shouldnt have signed him,i can see why kw wanted to, but what it shows is that it makes sense why he did so bad this year. it continued from last year and clearly ozzie didnt ruin him

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:05 AM) Nice find, and if that is the case.. I blame Kenny.. if a player is on the decline, and you ink him to a huge $ 4 year deal.. What player is going to go nope, I really don't deserve it. Then for the fans, the easy scapegoat is the manager. i think it shows even more how bad kws and ozzies relationship is when he signed dunn. we know ozzie didnt want that type of dh anymore. kw could have gotten martinez who would have been good and ozzie wouldnt have a dunn/thome type dh

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) It makes more sense than because Kenny Williams signed him. i dont think its ozzies or kennys fault...i remember he didnt do good at all in the second half last year maybe that was already a sign of something wrong, like in this article

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 08:48 AM) Adam Dunn has had how many different managers over his career? He was incredibly consistent over his career, until this year, despite being highly paid for a long time. He comes to Chicago, and goes the way of Nick Swisher, Javier Vazquez, Alex Rios, and company. The one consistent is Ozzie. You tell me what is going on here. They are good before and after Chicago, but not while playing for Ozzie. Why is that? so are you trying to say that dunn sucked this year because he was playing for ozzie??

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Ozzie getting fired is going to be sweeter than winning the World Series. Can't wait. wow no comment lol well its not like u mean it anyways lol

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) I am - unless Ozzie is allowed to stay against the wishes of KW. If Ozzie goes then Kenny will certainly stay. And the Sox will be better for it. kenny should be gone before ozzie for this crap he put together

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) I really don't see LaRussa as a realistic option. He's just the name to connect. Cooper shouldn't be manager, it's got to be someone these clowns haven't already started ignoring. Maybe the Twins will can Gardenhire! with all the injuries the twins have had, no way lol i guess that only leaves us ozzie, too bad

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) He left Santos in when his stuff was getting shelled. Yes it's on Ozzie. Stop defending him, it's making me ill. he should of brought in ohman or lindsay i guess then lol ok ill stop now

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) I see what you did there. stupid ozzie had to give up that go ahead run

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) Im actually surprised that people still care, this team is f***ing dead. I'm just hoping Sale and Sergio stay healthy for next season. i just think this team blows and its on the players,thats all..and we lost

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Closer-in-training He's still learning and he implodes quite a bit. I rather have Sale than Sergio in there on sheer pitching experience. Until Sergio gets iron hardended, he's still learning in my eyes. ok so sale was in there so how did he get out managed then..? nevermind, it happend, doesnt matter

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) Most managers bring in their closer to start the 9th inning. so sale has been great and santos hasnt and sale got through the 8th like nothing so yea i cant seem to see why he wouldnt leave sale in

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) I call it "having better players". thats all it is, plain and simple

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) That is what we call our textbook "being out managed." if u want to call bringing in ur closer out managed, i guess lol

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) Ozzie is the chess player who moves the pieces. Sale and Sergio are nothing but mere pawns. leyland brought in 3 guys that came through therefore he looks like a genius, ozzie had his 2 best guys out there, they couldnt get the job done so hes the idiot lol

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) The only thing I'm looking forward to this offseason is no more fuggin' Ozzie. lol yea its ozzies fault sergio and sale sucked

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) I f***ing hate Miller Lite commercials with a passion. Those on the tv as well as the radio... ok so i just got home, saw the score. i see the last few posts about ozzie being fired. what did he do this time?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) But you add Ozzie to that equation, and Florida would easily have two championships locked up at the minimum. i agree lol but yup, although talented, at this point, wrong division to be in. might as well take ur chances with the a.l. central

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) If he wants to go to Florida and Florida wants him, its possible to arrange a buyout also i was going to say, why would he want to go to the marlins(aside from the location and new park) since hes not going to win in that division but then i looked at the sox roster for next year and then i thought, nevermind lol

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) And them there's people like you that will always find a reason to excuse him no matter what. He can use derogatory homophobic comments towards reporters, s*** on fans, and publicly rip players on other teams unprompted and you'll have no problem with it whatsoever. The guy is the exact opposite of a "class act". Oh and he's not very good at what he gets paid to do. and im not defending him. do i critisize him when he manages a shi** game(like yesterdays game)? yes but i could care less about his little antics because they dont have anything to do with the team winning or losing. jake peavy said "well obviously were not playing for anything anymore.." and thats fine. if it were ozzie that said that omg, everyone would rip him to shreds,. at the end of the day, i dont think the sox would have won the division or lost it becuase of ozzie. thats my only point and thats not me defending him

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) He was f***ing around with a fishing pole in the dugout, acting like he didn't give two s***s about managing. He also failed to pinch hit Viciedo for Dunn in the 9th, instead opting to pinch hit him for De Aza, who had 2 doubles in the game. people overreact over any little thing ozzie does. jeeze, i think when he sneezes it bothers some people
