QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) Sounds like a 4 year extension for Cooper per the Score. Assuming that the next manager is OK with him, great news.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) Poor Joe. Does anyone know if the Miami Herald needs a hack? Just think about Cowley getting the chance to cover that Basketball team.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:44 AM) How? It's not like there are other suitors out there or some huge market for him. And if we didn't "Trade" him, we'd be releasing him from his contract anyway so that we didn't have to pay him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:42 AM) I can't believe no one mentioned this one CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini Were the final words from Ozzie still tweaking KW? ("I am Chicago tough.") I think that's tweaking the media, but then I think Ozzie's obsessed with his media critics here.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) Per Rotoworld Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports that Osvaldo Martinez will be sent to the White Sox along with a minor league pitcher in exchange for manager Ozzie Guillen. Martinez, 23, was an 11th round selection in the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. Known more for his defense than offense, he batted just .245/.296/.322 with three home runs and 26 RBI in 371 plate appearances this season at Triple-A New Orleans. He can't really be considered a prospect. The trade is expected to go final on Wednesday. I really thought Sox could of done better than this IMO, but then again it is KW at the helm. So wait...we traded Oz for Oz?

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 06:21 AM) He managed this season like he wanted to leave. I have a lot of great Oz memories from his days as a player and as a manager. Calling for Bobby is etched in my mind. If I had to pick a moment, it's Ozzie turning to the crowd in Houston right after the final pitch and pointing with both hands/fingers into the audience.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) You got to love the prospects of a young team with already clashing personalities being run by a ego-maniacal blowhard who doesn’t believe in accountability. Especially when their superstar is the laziest S.O.B this side of BJ Upton. And a player who has already gotten himself into twitter trouble.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/09/23/2419...spended-by.html You're missing the joke now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) Someone had to educate me on the excitement surrounding Davey Martinez? All I know is the players wives need to watch out. He's in the Rays org and for obvious reasons trot org is teh hot thing right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Hanley Ramirez has to be excited that he won't get disciplined for his lazy effort at SS. However he will be bunting. A lot.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) We could get Nunez. Who?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) That will be hilarious honestly. Depends on how long his contract is. Thy won't buy out more than a year.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) f***. Yes. What are the rules as far as hiring new managers during the post-season? If the Rays don't make the playoffs, can the Sox begin talking to him immediately? Or do they have to wait until after the Series? I want the Sox to get him before anyone else has a chance. The sox could talk to him any time his teams is done.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) LOL, nice try.. look its okay you lost... I'm over it. Dude...your guy is gone and you're spending your days insisting you won an argument on a message board when everyone else thinks you're nuts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) Great, I see another thread going down the drain. Let me know next time information comes out about the actual transaction. You're in the game thread. The sox were winning last I checked.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) LOL, I looked at what that poster said about the 06 sox.. that told me, all I needed to know. Not wasting my time So who is your scapegoat for the last two games? I blame you for the next 2 games. Makes as much sense as anything else.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Yeah there is... White Sox fans... Unless Kenny is fired. Dude...I wanted to ivied out something to say to the people who want to celebrate, because I don't feel that way...but now you're making me want to join in with them.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Me too! I'm actually giddy Personally, I think this is a sad day. It had to happen, but the guy who led us on that great voyage is departing.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) Wouldn't clear waivers Could wait to make things official after the series

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) Can't trade him now can we? Basically you have it done and don't make it official

Thanks for that 05 season sir!

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Paying his 2012 salary? Huh ? Why is he getting paid his full salary a year in advance?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) I wonder how this ever sounded like a good idea: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/25/us/californi...sale/index.html Haven't Campus Republicans been doing those for about 2-3 decades now?

I'm becoming increasingly impressed by people's candor over the last few days.
