LOL. Ozzie deserves it just as much as his players.

Like I said, where the hell does Alexei normally bat, and why ISN'T he our regular 2nd hitter???

As expected.

LOL, I never said they were great, I just said they were a better team than the Sox.

Quick question from a guy with a bad attention span: what place in the lineup does Alexei usually hit in? Because I see AJ strolling to the plate and wonder why Alexei wouldn't be our 2nd place hitter.

So that excludes every other year? And if I remember correctly, weren't most of those wins earlier in the season when the Sox were playing somewhat DECENT? If I'm wrong, that's fine, I'll admit it, but I'm pretty sure this is the case.

LO-f***ing-L. Then why do they beat they s*** out of us almost every series? 2005 aside. They can steal bases, we can't. They have all kinds of fundamentals (bunting, situational hitting, etc.) that we don't. They're franchise is and has always been that way. When you match the Twins up against us, they are a better team, period.

They're a far better team than the Sox, that's all I'm saying... which shows you just how bad of a team the Sox are.

We are not going to win the division like this, and with Griffey and JD in the outfield. If we play the same way we've been for weeks now, The Twins are winning this division again. It pisses me off.

We are looking absolutely f***ing pathetic. Oh, wait...

Regardless of how people feel about Minny this year, they are still a better team than the Sox, bottom line.

Those words from Vasquez from that interview are stuck in the back of my head now. I have a really terrible feeling about this.

This game is finally underway... I've got chills...

I've been here since the magic year... but I wonder, can anyone tell me how long this site has been in existence?

Sucks for you. MadTV is utterly hilarious.

Wow, even a Sox win today (which is more important) won't take away how pissed I am that the Bears choked again for teh second straight week. f***ing pathetic.

We can't win ANY game 1-0.

Even his name says, "scrub."

And as we know, they can't hit, either

How long before this team realizes they can't steal bases???

100% agreement.

When the man does this at a consistent rate... what else could you say that WOULD make it a fact? What would have to happen to legitimately say FACT-WISE that the man has no idea what he's doing??? You have to draw the line somewhere. I certainly don't see how you can agree with it, which a lot of people are. That doesn't bother me, there's just no solid defense in his case.

I've mentioned them in EVERY POST, many other posters point them out daily. All you have to do is watch the games. Constant misjudgment in who to play in certain situations, taking pitchers out too early or leaving them in too late, not putting in his best defensive replacements in the late inning with small leads, not putting big hitters on with bases open and scrubs hitting behind them, putting cold hitters in important lineup spots, asking players to do things they are incapable of doing (this ESPECIALLY), etc. and much more. It happens so often it's obvious. If you think Ozzie is a good game manager, you aren't watching the games, or you simply lack baseball knowledge. There are plenty of KNOWLEDGEABLE fans here that agree with me. Do I need to give direct examples now of these things? Are you still not getting it?

Again, you're just repeating the same rubbish over and over (which I've already told you is untrue in EVERY post... how long will it take you to understand this?) and continued your illogical matinée by making it out to sound like I think I could manage better... more rubbish designed to escape the point. The point is OZZIE... not me, not the players, not your rambling. Now, I am NOT saying the players aren't at fault (apparentlly, to you, the players take ALL the blame and the manager is off the hook for all the terrible things he does which you STILL have not addressed). If you'd read my first post you'd know that. Wait... didn't you reply to that post? So did you forget are are you still just desperately trying to get the argument to go your way without any logic once again? You just can't admit that ozzie is a bad in-game manager. That's fine with me, it doesn't matter because it's a FACT, and you can't argue facts, so you can be in denial, not address my points and ignore them all you want.

Dude, you're just not getting it. Man, and I thought I was a fan who lacked knowledge and insight. Wow. Yeah, and once the team was done overachieving, Ozzie's mismanaging become quite apparent, didn't it? NOTHING you are saying is actual logic to the argument. All you are doing is rambling, changing the subject, comparing other managers, and throwing around irrelevant statistics. You presenting just about everything you can that's NOT relevant. I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but you're like a desperate woman in an argument. You'll go on forever and ever and say nothing relevant, but never give up spouting the same meaningless babble because that's your nature. You're another statistic guy who thinks the statistics he's presenting have any relevance to Ozzie's inability as an in-game manager. Not much point in arguing with you further. I'm beating a dead horse here. It's clear no "Ozzie defender" on this board can read or provide any solid argument. I don't see how you people can't see the truth. Ozzie makes f***ups so much it's ridiculous. He has no idea what he is doing with his technical managerial duties. This is a fact. Are you going to deny it? If so, fine, be in denial. If not, then just stop trying to defend him and give it a rest. I stopped reading right there. They ARE a bad team. They are in a bad division. This is common knowledge. Move along, sir. Next.
