QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) But it doesn't mean he was wrong for playing those guys either. After 4 months of historically awful seasons by those two I would say yes, he was wrong for continuing to play them every day and in crucial spots in the lineup.

This is actually good stuff.

Could be why so many people laughed at my acid washed jeans and mullet.

Actually went to a Zanies not too long ago.

You jerk!

Xipedia...oh I mean Wikipedia will fill you in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_Stores

Venture still around?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) And it still won't make a difference. I don't know where your time machine is but I would love to have seen the results of an extra month or 2 of De Aza/Viciedo over Dunn/Rios.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) Or the general manager could do something "creative" and uh, release them. But the GM gets so little blame for these two compared to Oz (yawn). We had guys on the bench who were hustling and putting up better numbers yet Ozzie not only continued to play Rios and Dunn everyday, he batted them high in the lineup.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) If you think the new manager is going to sit Rios and Dunn, bless you. They will play every day. Whoever the manager is next year i will guarantee that Rios and Dunn are starters in April. If they continue to have dismal seasons after a couple months, I'd expect the manager to get creative in using those guys less....something Ozzie failed to do until it was way too late this year.

Radio Shack might have them.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) lol Several key players from Philly and Atlanta are already being asked to be traded out of the NL East. They know they'll have no chance in the next 7-10 years as long as Ozzie is managing in that division.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) Yep, not winning a championship since and being lousy for 90% of that time sounds about right And being a loud-mouthed egomaniac.

After 38 reviews, Drive is at 95% at Rotten Tomatoes.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) As long as the Tigers win two games the rest of the season, the Sox will have to win out. Seems possible. If the Tigers win just one game, the Sox only have to go 14-1 to take this thing. That's merely a .933 winning percentage, which I think we can pull off since he have yet to hit our real hot streak this season. Take a look at the Tigers' remaining schedule. It's no cakewalk and they're sure to fall apart as they're so prone to do (that one time in 2006). Our destiny is in our own hands. I think as long as we show nothing but support and really get the positive mojo flowing, there's just about nothing that can stop us.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:16 AM) You pessimist, they're still in this to win it! They can keep the pressure on by wining tonight! It's definitely a must win now.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) Fixed. Hey now. Don't squash some of these fans' hopes that he will be in the HOF some day.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) Not yet. Detroit's magic number is three. They should be officially eliminated before the week is up. But we have one more loss than Cleveland. I think we're out. EDIT: Never mind

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:10 AM) I certainly don't think he's made anybody look like a fool. I'd have to agree.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Tell me it ain't so Joe I'm assuming it's official. I looked at the playoff column in the ESPN.com standings and the Sox are now at 0.0. Cleveland is at 0.1.

Better look in the mirror then.

Z Gallerie even had a few holiday related items on sale.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) This scenario with Guillen reminds me of the firing of Mike Ditka. It was a world championship that led to underperforming teams and outbursts from the coach. As unpopular as it was to fire Ditka, it was just time to do it. That is where we are here with Guillen. Many of us agree with the analogy. It works on so many levels.
