The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) People like you repeating this crap is part of the problem. Someone creating these f***ed up coloring books for kids ISN'T the problem? The appalled reaction from people IS the problem? SMH

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) Ozzie doesn't have as good of winning percentage as a White Sox manager as Gene Lamont. He averages less than 2 wins a year more per year than Jerry Manuel even though the highest the Sox payroll was ranked during Manuel's tenure was lower than the lowest it was ranked during Ozzie's. He averages less than 2 wins a year more than Jeff Torborg even though Torborg worked with the lowest payroll in baseball 2 of his 3 years as a manager. Your love for Ozzie is impressive, but he's not nearly as good or as irreplaceable as you think. Except for actually winning playoff series, and maybe that was all Ozzie or all KW and not the players, the Sox during the regular season have pretty much been the same since about 1990. Even Terry Bevington guided them to 85 wins one season. The PR campain Oney and Cowley have going stating the Sox will slip back to losing 90-95 games while Ozzie collects WS rings if he leaves isn't based on reality. I'd love to see Ozzie deal with Loria. That won't end pretty either. Bravo! And I'm sure greg and Lemon44 will completely ignore this post.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 05:51 AM) How quickly do you abandon a strategy that you have invested $$$$ in? Quickly? 5 straight months of virtually no production from 2 players and you think it's too quick to bench these guys? Even the GM said go ahead and play the best players and not the highest paid ones.

Speigel vs Cowley on WSCR
Where the hell is JR in all of this? Take some action for once. How many years of this crap between Ozzie, Kenny, and Marty34 do we have to live through?

9/2 - Sox @ DET; Danks vs. Ver-Zeus-Der
QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) If Rios or Dunn are in the lineup anywhere, Ozzie should be fired before first pitch. Not too many people would disagree with this.

Speigel vs Cowley on WSCR

Speigel vs Cowley on WSCR
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 11:41 AM) Everyone knows I'm anti-Ozzie, but I truly feel the last week has seen a major shift amongst Sox fans with regards to Team KW vs Team Ozzie. Which team glistens in daylight?

9/2 - Sox @ DET; Danks vs. Ver-Zeus-Der
So who will Ozzie bat 4th today? Dunn or Rios? EDIT: And which posters on the site will justify the decision because (1) it won't matter against Verlander, (2) it's the best option he has or (3) he can't just bench these highly paid players?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) I think Ozzie is a good (not great) manager. He is the best manager the Sox have had in decades, although that really isn't saying much. All that being said I think he has worn out his welcome and it's time for him to go. He will go on and be successful in Florida or wherever and it will drive me nuts but he has finally convinced me that it's time to go. I think Torborg did a better job with less talent.

Job Hunt Thread
QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) WOW i just looked at my spreadsheet I keep of all the jobs I've applied for. So far 73 job applications... 3 interviews (all within 2 weeks of each other). I dont know what the average ratio of applications:interviews is, but that is kind of depressing to me. Mine is 12 out of 70 dating back to early last year. (Disclaimer: Several of the 12 were initial phone screening interviews that didn't result in a face-to-face)

Job Hunt Thread
Have a 3rd and hopefully final interview today over the phone. One question I have is should I sent out a lengthy thank you email afterward? This is the 3rd time I'm interviewing with this person. Maybe a simple "it was nice talking earlier today...have a great holiday weekend" type email would be sufficient at this point. Listing why I'm their perfect candidate for the 3rd time seems like overkill. Any thoughts?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) It said there was a dedicated app to use the hardware, just wondering what it is. If everything that came out used a micro usb that would be a start. Just about all Android phones have micro usb.

I'd probably look at the likely decrease in season ticket renewals over some poll on the Trib's website.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 07:52 AM) So where are they going to get registered Sox fans from to get this scientific poll from? I'm not saying there needs to be a scientific poll. Just stating that this one should be taken with a grain of salt.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 07:08 AM) No one has phone recommendations? HTC Evo is pretty cheap right now. It's still a beast. Wait a month or so and the Iphone 4 will probably be reduced in price when the Iphone 5 comes out.
