Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:56 PM) @SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman excellent white sox pitching coach don cooper is staying with team. its a win-win nite for #chisox 6 minutes ago via web Very good night. So, it's universally considered a good move by the Sox. But Victory is still right?

You guys are getting taken to the shed by Victory. The guy's an animal and very, very intelligent.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) yeah but we had the pieces and the market to get a really good haul this year - too bad we missed the boat. Agreed, but we've had our chances for a while.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) No he isn't piling on. What the hell are you talking about? He is simply saying that there were warnings that the relationship wouldn't work any further. Hell Ozzie said it himself. This was Ozzie's choice. He choose to leave. Kenny Williams said that he wasn't going to fire Ozzie. Wasn't = couldn't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:41 PM) I agree completely I've agreed with that since like 2007.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Hopefully they'll both win/lose tomorrow to go down to the very last game, and for a possible single game playoff. I definitely want the Red Sox to lose tomorrow and the Rays to win. And then for at least the Rays to win the next day.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) How could you be laughing at a time like this? This is the worst day of all of our lives according to you. It will truly live in infamy.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) I'm not throwing any fit. I'm not going to celebrate the loss of an icon. You know nothing about me. How do you know I don't like to watch hour upon hour of the History Channel? You assume I am some sort of cartoon loving clown. Just going by what you've given us.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) i love how you're holding off all three of 'em on your own. doing a damn fine job sir, a damn fine job. I'm having a good time doing it

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Oh, you're here. Expect an anti-JR diatribe in 3-2-1... QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) An organization operated by Jerry Reinsdorf Ha!

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Absolutely agree...he has to go too Oh, you're here. Expect an anti-JR diatribe in 3-2-1...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) The cheap White Sox now have a chance to sell season tickets this winter. I'd expect an all out blame game heading Oz's way. That way not a lot of roster changes will need to be made to keep fans' hope up. They'll be blaming Ozzie and saying we have one of the best rotations in baseball (yeah right, with Zach and Humber in the rotation and Mark maybe gone). And they'll be saying Dunn n Rios and Beckham now have new life. Ticket sales will skyrocket? Our little gregory. Throwing a hissy fit won't bring your manager back. Cheer up and go watch cartoons.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) I would LOVE a KW puppet. Know why? because teams are built to play the way they're built to play - ozzie trying to play smallball with a power hitting team has always been retarded. retarded. A GM has to have power over his manager and personnel. End of story. This whole "manager is the face of the franchise" bulls*** is over, and good riddance. Reddy is awesome.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Greg, your post may be absolutely terrible, but at least we know you are still alive and didnt slit your wrists. Change is coming, finally. Haha, funny and true.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) Why would I be happy? He's a great manager. No surprise though. It was obvious he'd be gone for a long time. Get ready for a KW puppet. I'd expect next season most fans will turn on KW when we suck again. Hard to blame Ozzie for next year when he's sunning in Florida. I love puppets! Best.Day.Ever!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) I've had much worse. This is just step one to turning this damn organization around and hopefully in the right direction. But I must say, Ozzie was definitely partially responsible for what happened in 2005 and I'm thankful for that. But what happened in 2005 is what happened in 2005. Those accomplishments won't mean much of anything in 2012. Ozzie had nothing to do with 2005. It's pretty easy to sit back and allow your starters, acquired by your GM, to just pitch you through the playoffs. Good riddance, Ozzie!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) Smartest move the Marlins ever made. Sox are close to being irrelevant in this town of Chicago, losing a headline stealer like Ozzie. If you think that's not important in this Cubbie-town I believe u are mistaken. KW better make some significant changes cause the manager wasn't the problem with this poorly built team. Ozzie's better off in Florida. I hope the Sox make significant player changes for the Buddy Bell era. It's no fun being on the downslide. The Royals are coming and we are sliding personnel-wise. Good luck, Ozzie. You are the best manager in Sox history. Good luck, Ozzie successor. This season sucked and we fans want to have something to cheer about during the season as well as the postseason. KW won't make the same mistake again. He'll hire a Williams puppet. Hope he picks a good man. I wanna win. Aren't you so happy?!

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) Never was a Soriano Fan even in ATL. one theory debunked. I wanted Jenks traded after 07... So there goes that theory.. I agree on Santos not being a main reason... But thinking not having a closer in April, you are fooling yourself. And Kenny is the problem here... Now we will get to see it, as this team fails to make ,500 in 2012. And Ozzie is no longer the scapegoat. NO MORE OZZIE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (whitem0nkey @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) JimMargalus Jim Margalus If only Jay Mariotti were alive to see this. I don't know why that's so funny, but it is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) MLB Network guys saying it's a brilliant move by KW and the Sox Can't be. Victory said otherwise. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) I don't even like ozzie as a person, and I'm sure many here don't. We can be happy about this. Yup.

Hooker Finder.

I tried to watch Terra Nova tonight, switching back to the Sox during commercials. Once I heard about Guillen, though, I had to stop. Seemed pretty decent.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) Thanks. We all know that a change was probably needed, but fans should show some respect. Ozzie can respect by balls.

This is the most perfect night of baseball that I can remember in years.
