Don't you think this s*** would get old to Oz once in a while? Why is it that we get a big lead on INFERIOR opponents and he feels the need to f*** around with the smacktards that can't seem to get anyone out anymore.... This kind of s*** is the mentality that has cost us games we should never have lost....and its getting to be ridiculous....

My god....what a f***ing idiot. Can someone fire him please...soon?!?!?!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) Rotoworld take on the Count. Jose Contreras was pulled after 2 2/3 innings having allowed five runs Saturday in a no-decision versus the Twins. We have to take issue with manager Ozzie Guillen's decision to play Rob Mackowiak in center field tonight. Left-handed hitters have hit Johan Santana better than right-handers this season, but Mackowiak hardly ever gets to face lefties and he's a big defensive downgrade from Brian Anderson. While Contreras was in the game, there were two balls hit over Mackowiak's head that Anderson might have had plays on. Contreras wasn't going to outpitch Johan Santana either way, but he could have lasted longer with better defense tonight. I just got home from the game tonight. I have to say, when I saw the lineup, I almost puked on myself. What made it even more entertaining was watching Mack look like a deer in headlights on those two fly balls that Anderson WOULD HAVE caught. It was almost as if Oz was conceding defeat tonight. As much as I am sure this has been discussed thus far, despite JD's late inning heroics, this game was a giant pile of s***. I just paid for my post season tickets yesterday, right now, I am near regret...... I will head there tomorrow, with the hope that maybe, just maybe we can field a major league team against these guys, because again, despite what happened tonight, if Mack is not in center we don't lose this game....

This game is huge. If we can take one away from Santana, it could be a nice spark to get them rolling against this Twins team. I will be there tonight, hoping to god they give me a reason to go out and have a celebratory beer at the end of the game..... BA WILL be in the lineup tonight...

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) Yes, but tell me about some of his BAD qualities. Worst part is, the people who sit a few seats down from my season seats have a daughter that is about 17 years old and screams CONSTANTLY about how "hot" he is.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) If Pods isn't going to attempt to steal, he really shouldn't be playing professional baseball. Maybe Widger can get him on his softball team next summer. I WAS a huge fan/advocate of Pods' place on this team. To the point of defending him many times this year when I should not have. I am done now. I hate him and wish for him to go away, fast. I will even volunteer to help pack him and Lisa's apartment if it will expedite his departure. His poor approach at the plate (despite his lookie what I found single tonight), his lack of stealing/baserunning ability, and his PISS poor defense make me want to throw up on myself. The sooner he goes away, along with fat Freddy, the better off things will be. He has no upside what-so-ever and has zero place on any big league roster.

Uhoh...hold the phone.... Schuster just informed us that Pods "just hasn't been coming through." He must have just gotten the memo....

SSI..... I think I broke something from laughing so hard..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... You have his spin-ness down to perfection!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Brian was the same guy. Dave Wills was the man to miss. He at least would be critical once in a while. I loved Wills, had many a beer with him when he was out for Miller promotions with us, but I don't think Brian was as bad as this clown. Its almost hilarious...if a caller even REMOTELY criticizes this team, he goes ballistic. Throwing around catch phrases like "lacks confidence" or "team chemistry", etc.... Its tiresome...

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:30 PM) Did he really say this? I told you he always uses the confidence excuse. Swear to god, it came out of his mouth...I almost laughed myself out of the chair.

Hah! The Sox have to "find a way" to make Cotts effective and give him "condfidence"...... I miss Brian Dolgin.....

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) Does anyone think 20 wins in the last 34 is possible for this team? That's what it's going to take to get into the playoffs, at least. Umm...NO?

QUOTE(cgaudin @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:18 PM) We got no chance tomorrow, but they still have to play the game. Hope for Santana to sprain his wrist while he's shaving or something. We got no clue how to hit this guy. Heh, Radke had a partially torn rotator cuff and you saw where that got us

Me and a few buddies already bought tickets and booked hotel rooms for that weekend up there in the rollerdome. At this point, I am thinking we would be better off not bothering..... I hope I am wrong....

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Their screener just hung up on me. I asked if I was going to be allowed to ask a real critical question or would Bagdad Bob get all mad at me if I put frown in his happy loss post game palooza. ROFL..... Fantastic.... I love listening to Rongey scramble...this show is the OPPOSITE of the no-spin zone.

QUOTE(Drew @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) I want Thornton to have the ball this game at the top of the sixth, lefty vs. righty be damned. And I want Jenks up in the 9th, because he has the best chance of holding the lead. Those two moves and I think we're looking at a winner tonight. Those go against Ozzie's way of thinking...even though they make sense...his "gut" won't let him do such things....

I can't even listen to the score anymore....Rongey is a tremendous homer-iffic tool.....

This game was sickening, bottom line. It was a big time, SHOULD win game the way they played, and once again Ozzie's decisions caused a s***ting of the bed that will be hard to recover from given what they are up against the rest of the weekend. His misuse of the bullpen, bulls*** pinch hitting, and downright poor managing will bring this team right into third place. Anyone that says this loss should/could not be pinned on Ozzie needs to go back and rewatch the game, then come back and justify WHY he made some of the moves he did..... We had this goddamn game in the bag and pissed it away.....

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) Don't worry. The one constant on this site is that if the Sox lose, it will be Ozzie's fault. It is his fault, did you watch the game tonight???

I have tickets for tomorrow and Sunday. At this point, I really don't even want to go, because tomorrow they will lay down and die and Sunday Buehrle will probably piss all over himself on the mound.... This team is goddamn ridiculous....

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) I am literally sick right now. It makes two of us.... This game should have been on cruise control, but instead Ozzie decided to interject more of his retarded decisions. We jumped on them and SHOULD have been able to keep them down. I am pissed at myself for wasting three hours watching this....

Great game Ozz.... I am going to throw up now....

How....how.....how.....do you just stand there...... Please JD.......

He is fighting him very well.....one more mistake Nathan, one more.....
