Heckuva lot colder in Chicago today.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) Oh boy. How come when you make posts I often have to stifle myself lest I respond and get in trouble? Hey I use twitter. I know what it is. I think many people have better things to do than post on there. At times, I'm mildly amused by it. I said I use it at times. Some good responses on here about why people might care about Oney. I accept those responses. I didn't have the patience to read through this whole thread to see what exactly Jenks has done in the past. I read something about crying in Oz's office, now I read Jenks punched out the attendant? Also read something about his drinking again. I still think Oney doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things and this doesn't reflect on Ozzie much if any. I'm just teasing you. Happy new year brother!

Happy New Year motherf***ers!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) A few points.... • I wonder if twitter would go away if the media didn't keep quoting things people say on twitter. How many people actually use the thing? • I don't see why anybody would give a f*** what Oney Guillen tweets. What does he have to do with anything? If he wants to reveal Bobby's problems, I guess somebody could ask Bobby to comment on what Oney is saying, but it's pretty irresponsible for anybody to quote a nobody like Oney Guillen's twitter posts. Who cares what Oney Guillen has to say on twitter? • I don't see how this involves Ozzie or your feelings about Ozzie at all. This is his kid. He has nothing to do with another grown human being over 21 years old. Why anybody thinks any of this reflects badly on Ozzie is beyond me. • Paul Konerko and AJP are back with the Sox; we just added Adam Dunn and Crain. If anybody thinks Ozzie is unbelievably difficult to play for or is a complete buffoon ... then why in the hell would these two veterans return (life is too short) and why would ANY free agents who could go anywhere sign with us? Believe me, if a veteran like Konerko thought Ozzie hurt his performance at all, he'd be outta here. And if AJ thought Ozzie was incapable of leading us to a WS title, he'd have gone elsewhere. Oh wait, he HAS already led us to a WS title. Just my two cents on NY's Rockin Eve. Wow. I don't even know where to begin. I'm starting to wonder if you're an 83 year old man that sits on his front porch yelling at kids to get off his lawn. "Twitter? What the heck is that darnfangled Twitter and who the heck even uses it anyway?!"

Tex was recently diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) I really do see your guys side on Oney. You're right, he's out of line for the public face of any organization. But I will still say that if I were in that locker room, or in that front office, I would be somewhere between less than really outraged and quietly content about this turn of events, based in no small part on the fact that Bobby's off the field issues affected his performance last year. Call it the "Scooter Libby" premise. Yeah, the guy may have broken the law, but he did so while smearing a guy going after his bosses. So you blame Bobby for not performing last year? Ozzie, who knew all of Bobby's problems about drinking and marital issues, was the one that kept trotting him out to fail. Why would the locker room be mad at Bobby? Ozzie is the one that set him up for failure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 08:45 AM) The problem is the dads bosses hired the kid. Whether the kid is told to be quiet or not, the company assumes responsibility for the guys they hire. And if your son were to pull something like this publicly to humiliate your family you would blame the company for hiring your son?

Might as well try my diet if you're truly worried about the environment.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2010 -> 08:14 AM) You've got to add some extra details there though. Let's say the secrets you leaked were to smear an ex-employee. And that Ex-employee had been going around bashing your company. In that case, the CEO might well be telling the guy to keep it up, as long as there's enough distance between him and the leak that he has plausible deniability. Except that the the guy is using smears about things that only an officer of the company would know.

Dude, Where's My Car is not considered a masterpiece.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Thats not what happened. Oney knows this stuff first hand, he's been close to Bobby for years. I know you're considered an insider or whatever but you can't possibly know that to be 100% true.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) I understand that you hate Ozzie and want him gone. Oney Guillen is a 25 year old human being, what's Ozzie susposse to do, bend him over a knee and give him a spanking? For one, he should publicly denounce Oney and everything that he tweeted. Then he should address his entire team and let them know how something like this will never happen again.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Jenks was right about Ozzie mismanaging the bullpen...he kept giving the ball to Jenks in a save situation, and he'd blow it. Nicely done.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) At least you took off your fire Ozzie sig through Christmas. Now it's back. Over this?? Yes over this. The Guillen family is nothing but a circus show. I'm embarrassed that he's our manager and he's not even good at that. And I'm thoroughly convinced that Ozzie could pull an O.J. on his wife and you'd still think he should manage this team.

Only licking is involved. Maybe a few other actions but no chewing.

I got my first issue of The Atlantic that I recently subscribed to. This piece on coal was an excellent read.

My hobby is licking humans of the female persuasion.

Keeled over animals of any kind, human or not, isn't part of my current diet.

I think we might need to report you to the proper authorities with your insatiable thirst for soylent green.

Ginormous would be more apt.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) Oh ok. Well, I'm still gonna drink. And I'm drunk as f*** right now. Too much whiskey. It's getting close to intervention time with you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) I just think it's another negative incident that piles up on top of all kinds of negative incidents. I have been very supportive of Ozzie over the years, but the guy seems to think he is Tony Montana and he can do whatever the hell he wants, every one else be damned. Well, that has to change, or he needs to be somewhere else. QFT

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) Don't forget the bacon. Eventually you'll need to start dieting with all this eating you're doing.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 12:13 PM) I'm sure there are. but I bet if you ask them would you rather play in this situation or for the Pirates, the answer would be different. But a lot of times it's not just us vs the Pirates. Players typically have a handful of options to choose from. When it's the Sox vs a similar team with a potential for similar success and near equal pay, why go with the soap opera?
