QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) The man Oz said Rios needed rest and Paulie a day off. How do you know if they played and again on Sunday they'd have sucked and we'd have lost one or both games??? We got a run. We won. And the next day we excelled. Most managers with half a brain rest one player on Saturday and the other on Sunday. Those are our only legitimate hitters on our team right now. Plus the entire team had a day off on Monday.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) And maybe Jake needed to do that for a damned change. That's why he makes like $500k every two weeks. I don't disagree but Ozzie should make it easier for the team to win and not harder. That might be one of the worst lineups I've ever seen in the last 20 years. I'm amazed they scored 1 run.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) Great post Hibbard. I cannot believe people are b****ing about Ozzie sitting Paulie and Rios the same day when WE WON THE GAME. What the f*** difference does it make? We won. And like you said it worked on Sunday as well. Bottom line is you can second guess 10 decisions in any loss and now Sox fans are second guessing decisions in victories which makes absolutely no sense. In answer to your question, a lot of the credit should go to Ozzie. Firing him was not the answer. He knows the game of baseball in and out and has a great feel for players. Peavy single-handedly won that game. Ozzie just made it harder for him to do so.

Only 97% of the scientific community believe humans are causing climate change.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) So you're saying there's been worse?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) Randy Williams stinks. He is horrible. But he is not alone. Most teams have 1-3 horrific relievers. He is beyond horrible. Did you see the link Kalapse posted above? The 6th worst reliever in the last 110 years of MLB (minimum of 24 appearances).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Thing is, you can't play Viciedo tomorrow with Buehrle on the mound. He'll probably play Thursday against D. Lowe. He should have a good feel for the game at this level with the amount of playing time he's getting. Excellent decision to call him up.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Might as well put this here as well http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/yB88b 6th worst ever in a 110 year sample size. My lord why the f*** is he here?! Someone answer that please.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) Come on guys. They have no other lefty besides Thornton. Give me a break. Who gives a s*** which arm he uses?! He can't get anyone out.

I have a slight depression near my temple from scratching my head for 3 straight months trying to figure out the same thing.

7:10 can't come soon enough. Getting the shakes.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) Wasn't that Ron Scheuler? Oh wait. You're right. Still inexcusable.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) They are 4.5 games back, with a heck of a pitching staff. There is no way in hell they are going to give up in mid-June at 4.5 games back. What the f*** is the point of even having a professional team if that is going to be the way they operate. This is pure and absolute nonsense. I hope you were asking that same question in 1997 when Kenny gave up just 3.5 back. EDIT: And chasing 1 team.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) So you don't look at the career numbers and think they have a chance to revert to form and be strong for the remainder of the year? They can and I hope they do.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Anything can happen in the playoffs especially if the top of your rotation is strong. Yeah but we had a pretty solid top of the rotation in 2008. And our rotation hasn't been strong this year. It's had a nice 2 week stretch against the worst teams in MLB.

Does anyone think we can compete in the playoffs if we somehow win our division? If we face anyone in the east it seems like we'd get swept.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 10:54 AM) My point was that Rios conveniently came right out of his slump on Sunday, and Paulie drove in three. Seems like the rest might have contributed to that. Yeah but look at the pitcher on the mound for the Nats. That probably had a lot to do with it as well.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 10:47 AM) Guillen has always seemingly maintained the philosophy that occasionally resting players refocuses them. Seems to have worked pretty well this time. Wouldn't it have been smarter to rest them one at a time instead of both in one game?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 10:33 AM) pretty sure pad refers to his house. *runs away with tail between legs*

I don't have the audio on so is Uruguay considered the favorite against Mexico or is this an upset in the making?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) Well, first of all, there is no GM of the year award. It's the Sporting News executive of the year. Well yeah but I got the gist of his insinuation.

With regards to the thread title....LMAO He didn't get it in 2005 when we won 99 games but you think he deserves it now? BWAHAHA!

2-0 South Africa.
