QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 11:37 PM) Rightfully so. We're only 2 games ahead of the Royals right now and falling... THE ROYALS!!! Never in a million years would I have imagined we'd be as bad as the Royals this year. We'll be in last place soon. I give it 2 weeks tops. Even that might be a lot.

Way to pull the trigger before something like this happens KW. Great job!

Hopefully KW was watching Baseball Tonight just now. They pretty much pinned the Sox as the worst team in the MLB.

I can't remember the last time I was begging for football in June.

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) Guillen was constantly fighting with Thomas; and Lee. Maggs I don't know about. Guillen is the one who wanted Rowand off (he can't bunt) - fine - but then wouldn't deal with the young hitter replacement. Guillen is the one who played Mack. Williams signed Erstad as a backup. It was Guillen who was so turned on by his hacking at everything and not wasting at bats with walks, that he marginalized Anderson, and called ERstad is a .400 hitter when he hits .200 (that's exactly what Guillen said). Guillen is the one who said that Erstad bats leadoff when both ERstad and Pods return. You ask who else to pinch hit? How about no pinch hitter, since Cintron is a much worse hitter than anyone he could pinch hit for. Yet, who is Ozzie's most frequently used PH? Cintron. What young hitter has Ozzie Guillen successfully developed? Now you're just making things up. No one wanted ARow gone. This is Ozzies fault that he has no one to pinch hit? Scouting department.

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) I agree that no one could win with this roster (although Ozzie is doing about as bad a job with it as is possible). I think you significantly underestimate the influence that Ozzie has on personnel. Who wanted Lee, Ordonez and Frank off this team? That would be Ozzie and his ego. Who acquired the free swingers and hackers on the team? KW. Who wanted Erstad ahead of the far superior Podsednik? Pods was injured, Erstad was sadly our hottest hitter. Who wanted Anderson and Sweeney off this team quickly, but had no problem with Owens and his zero walks (until his last game) and zero RBIs for a month? I am not aware of this Sweeney hatred. He was sent down because he wouldn't get consistent AB's in the MLB. Who signed/traded for .200 hitters with no power as pinch hitters and, incredibly, as DH? KW. Now this team needed retooling after 03. Thank GOODNESS we won before Guillen got Kenny to completely change this team to, well, what we have this year.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) IMO since he has been here, Ozzie has had 2 good teams to work with, one won a world championship (2005) and one IMO Ozzie was the biggest villian in missing the playoffs (2006). He deserves a shot with one more good team to see once and for all what he is IMO, problem is we might not have another good team for a few years. But to give him an extension this year would be stupid, you even say half of why we brought Pods back was PR and that hasn't gone too well for us has it? Uuuum, did you see the ovation he got? And did he not score our only run?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) As was the World Series. So us losing is Ozzie's fault?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) Let's just see how much they love him if this team goes on to lose 100 games. Not many 100 million dollar payroll teams can possibly lose 100 games. And what does Ozzie have to do with that? You pretty much just backed up our argument.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) Which one? All 3. No manager could win with the AA team we're fielding right now. Andy Gonzalez? Ryan Bukvich? Come on. This is on KW, and solely on KW. How many games have we lost due to Ozzie compared to how many we have lost due to the s*** 25 man roster.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:35 PM) Yep....and I'm still waiting for him to get the ship righted. Do you believe he should be brought back if this team loses 100 games this year? Is it possible that maybe the media stories circulating outside of this city are right that the players have tuned him out? You and I have no clue....but this is ridiculous right now. See: 3 posts below yours.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:35 PM) soxfan1 must be rich. that's the only way a so called sox fan would spend money on this crap team. Or not. I've spent 14 dollars on this team this year. Seriously. QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) Take or purchase? I do believe I said take.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:33 PM) Serious question, any suggestions on how to dump tickets to future games. I wish I could sell them back to the team. I am now a "consciencous objector". I will not put any more $ into this team or franchise until it fields a baseball team. I'll gladly take your tickets.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 03:32 PM) Yep....if this team ends up winning 65 games this year, I don't believe you can bring him back. You're also the #1 Ozzie hater, so...

2 games. 2 runs. 2 losses.

STOP PINCH HITTING CINTRON IN THE 9TH! WHAT THE f***!

Suicide f***ing squeeze. It was a no brainer.

Josh with the 5-4 FC to end the inning. Tough break.

SIT DOWN SORIANO.

I hope he gets his extension, but let's wait until after the trade-deadline for this.

OMFGnewNickname: IguchE4

Goooooooooooooooooooooch E4.

2 days in a row that Hawks has mentioned video games in some way.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 01:43 PM) Agreed. My brother and I have been saying that since the 2nd inning. Amen. He's a stud, I hope Crede never plays another game as a White Sock. If he throws you 3 straight breaking balls and gets them over, then tip your cap. But he's not doing that and he can't do that. Sit dead-red on the fastball, and you will hit it. Watch the 1st pitch all the way back to the mitt (which, I noticed at the park yesterday, Uribe never does) and then wait for it in the AB.

YAY FIELDS!!!!!
