QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:59 PM) I do. I think this team is lost and leadership is out to lunch. Ozzie is doing nothing to put the focus on himself instead of the players like he's done in the past. I think he's over them, too. Think about it, tanking like this at the start of two straight seasons? With all the emphasis (and there was a ton) on getting off to a good start? You missed the pregame then. He pretty much said he should get fired.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) I did Italian Village Nice.

For anyone old enough it has to be 1984. That team just collapsed out of no where.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Long as Mark gets a statue at the Cell I'm satisfied. Barring a heil hitler, he will.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:33 PM) Anyway, what's for lunch, guys? I'm thinkin' Girordanos or however you spell it or Chiggys? I love me some gyros. I did 65.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) Wouldn't you rather your problem be that your proven stars aren't performing? The article says the Tigers are in a good position because Miggy, Verlander, and the boys are doing well. I'd rather be wishing for players to return to their normal star caliber than wishing for lower-tier guys to pick up the slack, since our wish comes to true more often than the latter. That was my first thought is that it is harder to catch up when you have already peaked, than when you haven't even come close. there is a better chance of things going wrong after you have been hot, versus the other way around.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Top 5 manager. Cowley is a funny guy. I wonder if this gets him twitter points with the club guillen. Of course his little buddy came up with this. Of course. I can't wait to read what he has to say when Ozzie finally does leave Chicago. There will be more sucking off going on than [insert joke here].

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) 6'11" dudes at the end of their 16th season in the League don't do much punishing. Dude is a really old 35. You are going to see a lot of the stars of today getting "old" quickly from playing so many more games at 18-19-20.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Yes, that's the stuff I meant. I have always wondered why they have a statue for him. Without him, the Sox don't exist. He the one who moved the St Paul Saints to Chicago in 1900, and he build Comiskey Park. He may have been an ass, but he quite literally is the reason the White Sox are here.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) I wondered the same thing. I also wondered why Ozzie didn't complain about the bad call of Beckham at first. To me it just looked like the Sox gave up during the last two innings. Supposedly he started to come out of the dugout, but went back in once Becks quit arguing.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Mother f***ing b**** ass passionless White Sox. Ah yes the good old days... I wonder whatever happened to Heather?

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ May 4, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) I say again. Any and every White Sox employee holds the email: firstname.lastname@whitesox.com This was true a couple years ago. Can't imagine they changed it. Greg Walker is greg.walker@whitesox.com, as an example. Go nuts. Tell them how you feel. They work for us. So post your email so we can do the same.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) I was at the game last night and I haven't gone through the game thread.. was anyone wondering why Omar didn't pinch hit for Morel in the 9th last night? Ozzie doesn't PH Omar. If he would have used a PH it would have been Teahen.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) In all seriousness, wasn't he considered a big piece of crap? He was supposed to be a greedy SOB.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) The information is conflicting, so I dont know what to believe: http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/0...en.raid/?hpt=T1 As for the choices, I pick a different choice, I assume their intelligence is light years behind ours, I assume that there are some in the govt who are indifferent, I assume that there were some who may have cooperated and I assume there are others who wanted to capture Bin Laden. But I think it will do nothing for the US, to throw accusations at Pakistan as a whole. Obviously we should have concerns about what is going on there, but I dont think baiting them with accusations will help our ability to get to the bottom of what is going on. The US government has been throwing Roses at their feet. It is the public and the media who are treating the Pak intelligence community like the White Sox offense.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:48 AM) There was a 40-minute fire fight. You've got a few choices, as I see it: complete incompetence indifference active cooperation they all look pretty terrible for Pakistan right now. There is no win for Pakistan in this scenario. The only other possibility is that they are lying their asses off to their people to keep them from thinking that they turned Bin Laden over in an attempt to prevent further reprisals.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Maybe. But it's a strange way of going about that. But like I said, I'm not sure it matters. The bulk of the reason we got OBL had nothing to do with torture, and I will not be convinced that we needed waterboarding to acquire this info. If this is true, the tip that led them down the right path did come from this. They wouldn't have gotten the chance to get down that road without the name of the courier.

How much different would the perception of Williams been then? He'd probably have been labeled the Cubs next great prospect.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:10 AM) The good news is that tickets on StubHub are just gonna keep get cheaper. I still love watching MLB baseball outdoors in the summer, so I will still hit up a few games. I just won't have to get very into the games and what the score is. Bad baseball is better than good doing nothing.

So here is the question of the day... Should Obama have used intell gathered by torture to go after Bin Laden?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 3, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) You would think that this rash of DUI's would cause some blowback against the players by the Commissioner, but you know that won't ever happen. Nope. Too busy keeping the evil Ozzie Guillen from that really dangerous tweeting...

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 4, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) Sorry, that's all you got? That story from back in the Giants days? Which we've all already heard? Again, I'm hearing very few specifics, just insinuations and gossip. It is very, very rare that stories get out from the Sox clubhouse while players on still on the team. They seemingly don't want to deal with the distractions. Again, I will bet money that we learn some doozy's once he leaves. If only guys like Chris Rongey could spill some of the stuff they have.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) Hell yeah she is. She looks so freaking weird. I think I'm one of the few that watched it from season one...I know a lot of people started and gave up after an episode or two. It's been very rewarding to see every episode, what a great show. I watched it until it got goofy with scheduling. I am really wanting to go back and see it though. I like it a lot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2011 -> 08:08 AM) Hey, one of the coaches acknowledged that a player's problems weren't entirely mental! I could tell you it was mechanical! In fact I did that yesterday!
