I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox are the only team that have a "Player of the Game" after a loss.

Yeah... everyone else is pitching poorly. So, thanks for reiterating my point, lol.

More poor pitching and poor managing. Why do some people always get surprised by that???

This bullpen just cannot get anybody out.

Why do at time people get pissed off at Hawk solely for telling stories of other players? Where I'm from that's entertaining.

Seconded.

I haven't kept up much with things since last week. Wasn't Paule supposed to be back last Friday? When is he coming back???

Why do the Sox bother trying to steal bases anymore?

You're f***ing kidding me. Buerhle goes nearly 8 scoreless and we're gonna give this s*** up???

Dotel sucks, as usual...

Wow, it's been a while since I was this happy watching a Sox game...

You clearly aren't getting what I'm saying and you CLEARLY have minimal understanding of managerial duties. A half-ass ranting post with no real point and a fit of anger followed by a simple, contradicting "Oz is good" doesn't help your case, either. You AREN'T looking at the big picture. No, AJ can't bunt. And who's the guy who asked him to? Who makes those decisions not to tell the battery to walk a guy who clearly should be put on? Who takes out pitchers when they shouldn't be? Who puts inferior defenders in the game in the late innings when the game is tight? Who makes these stupid managerial decisions? THE MANAGER, sir. I'll give you a second to suck it all in. It's all common sense, really.

That's so f***ing sad it makes me want to cry.

Since I was nowhere near baseball at that point in time, someone has to explain this to me.

Why should we need to? Watch the games yourself and see, unless you just don't have the ability to do so. Is that it? I love people like you who don't pay attention so they need everything pointed out for them, and then even when it is, they are still in denial. Try denying Ozzie's numerous stupid mistakes. I already mentioned them in my last post. Stop trying to cop out by using other managers as an excuse. Other managers have nothing to do with Ozzie. Ozzie himself is bad, that's all that matters here. Yeah, players win games and talent wins game. But bad players lose games, as do bad managers. Again, waiting for some sort of substance to your argument.

This is all Ozzie supporters EVER say. "Well who's better, then?" I don't give a s*** who is better, that has nothing to do with the fact that Ozzie himself is terrible. No argument there. Anyone who disagrees that Ozzie is clueless in-game simply does not pay attention to the games, period. Talent has nothing to do with him constantly making the wrong calls, not putting guys on when they should be, pulling pitchers too early or too late, not using his best defense late game, asking people who can't bunt to do so, etc. etc. etc. and a plethora of other terrible moves he makes game after game. If you disagree, you simply don't pay attention or have little baseball knowledge. Hell, I'M one of the LEAST educated baseball fans out there I'm sure, yet I can clearly see when Ozzie is being an idiot.

Sorry, Hawk. I'm your biggest fan left on this board, but you're senile if you think the Sox are going to the WS unless a miracle happens.

First off, he hasn't gotten "the most" out of his talent every year. And even if he did, that doesn't make him a great manager. In some aspects it does. But in-game, Ozzie is completely clueless.

I'm aware. They make me laugh... REALLY HARD. Ozzie might not be a TERRIBLE manager, but he sure as HELL is NOT a great one at ALL.

I seriously don't know how to respond to such a crazy claim.

WHO in their right mind could think Ozzie Guillen is an amazing manager?

Quentin's old?

I am convinced EVERY TIME the Sox have bases load with one out they ALWAYS hit into a f***ing double play... inexcusable. It sucks to be a fan of a team when you never feel good about the bases being loaded unless there's 0 outs, and even then we're lucky to score one. Pathetic.

Yeah, and let's take into account the division they are in.

Wow, these game threads are ridiculous. Linebrink's... SECOND game back from a long DL stint? And people are flaming him? Wow...
