I voted Saddened, but honestly I'm excited and anxious too. For that matter, I'm pissed off for what a crappy year this was. I don''t think there's any doubt whatsoever that this needed to happen, but I will honestly miss Ozzie a bit. To me it's sad that Ozzie, Walker, Cora and Baines could all be gone. They're all White Sox guys through and through. I do think however that they all should be gone.
If the whole coaching staff is sacked like many think will happen I really hope it won't include Marc Salas.

I'm happy and I'm a huge Sox fan. I'm not going to talk about what I soured on him, because this thread is not about that.
So with that said, thank you Ozzie for helping bringing the White Sox a championship. You are appreciated for what you did and the best of luck. The end.
Couldn't have said it any better.

1969 and 1970 weren't this bad - at least you knew those teams had no talent
That's the funny thing about this team. W/L-wise there have been lots of worse Sox teams, but I don't recall a team that has been this frustrating to watch and not since Bevington have I wanted a manager gone like I want Ozzie gone (and the entire coaching staff). Not to mention KW.
I'm not asking for much.

Maybe Kenny wil get him with the same reasoning for getting Mark Teahan.
I wouldn't want him. I wish he'd go to the NL.
