South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) It doesnt matter if the bunt fails or not, its the better play. Especially when you consider that Ozzie bunts when men are on first with no out all the time, it just seems to be a no brainer. The one situation where a bunt makes sense and Ozzie doesn't do it. Yet he takes the bat out of Ramirez's hands and consequently Paulies hands in the eighth. Fire this clown already.

Stupid Ozzie.

AJ is da man!

Immature by Beckham but it's no big deal. Non-issue.

Well, maybe this will finally get Ozzie fired.

Sox just gave up an out so the Twins can pitch around Paulie and then strike out Dunn.

No bunts!!!!!

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) I wouldn't want to manage this team either. Playing the Twins is always a nightmare. The Sox need a manager that's man enough for the job.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) Viciedo is not in the lineup for Charlotte in the first game of their doubleheader. If he's not in the lineup for game 2, then we'll know something. I heard he was just penciled in at Catcher for game 2.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) A broken hand could be a blessing in disguise. Why not see what Flowers can do -- again? Flowers can't do much.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) Why not just get tossed? f*** it. Oh wait, no, don't do that. The team will need your leadership and baseball knowledge into these late innings. lolz Ozzie doesn't care about the Sox anymore. His heart is in Florida.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) I really liked Morel coming into this year and even through the first two months. But at some point, you have to make adjustments and he seemingly is incapable of doing that. Both Morel and Beckham would probably benefit from a different hitting coach. I don't see either one making the adjustments to be successful with Walker here.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Quentin the only thing that can happen on an appeal is you get struck out, you cant gain, what are you doing? I wonder if any White Sox coach ever explained that to him.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) I must have missed the memo. When did Viciedo break his thumb? About 2/3 of the way through spring training.

Still the same ol' Thome.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) Let's get creative. Forget corpseball. Let's think of a new name for this. "Ozzie-ball".

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) At least we don't ever hear anymore "Ozzie would never let his guys not hustle on the field and play with passion". We used to hear that all the time when comparing him to Manuel. The effort on the field is way worse than anything we saw during the "corpseball" era. Man, have you got that right!

Bye bye, Ozzie!

LOL at the "face of the franchise"! What a joke.

QUOTE (SouthSideTeacher @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) /went to the teacher store to pick up stuff for my bulletin boards today. Got all excited when I saw a White Sox pennant and banner set. (I've always wanted to devote a corner of my 6th grade room to my team--maybe send some subliminal messages and inspire a new generation of South Side fans.) 30 seconds after I put the $25 set in my cart and started to walk toward the cashier, I thought about the bull**** laughter and joking I witnessed last night in the Sox dugout after ANOTHER loss to our rivals. If they don't care anymore, neither will I. I put that mess back on the shelf. "Giving up the KoolAid, 101". Good for you!

QUOTE (ottawa_sox @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) When it wasn't required. You could say that again.

Beckham has the worst looking swing on the team.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Ozzie being fired would be the most exciting Sox thing for me since the WS. No exaggeration. I'd even start going to games again.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) FWIW, Peter Gammons was on a Boston radio show this morning and said he expects Ozzie to be fired during the ASB. He said he may be managing the Marlins in a week and also mentioned KW knows his ass is on the line as well. From Gammons' lips to God's ear!!! Please be true!

Danks and Rios for Granderson.
