Somewhere, Kevin Federline breathes a sigh of relief.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) talented players. I don't think Ozzie is the greatest manager in history, but Casey Stengel couldn't win with this team. Could anybody have won with this team? Probably few, if any. But could Stengel have won in 2006? Could a handful of modern-day managers have won in 2006? A bad 2007 roster doesn't mean Guillen is a good manager.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:46 PM) anyone but Ozzie. Duh. Saying Guillen isn't the best manager in the game is far from saying anyone would be an improvement.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:32 PM) And that person would be............ Before getting into names of managers better than Guillen, you can agree with the philosophy of replacing an inferior manager with a superior one, correct?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:15 PM) You are saying that if a team believes their manager is not "the best manager in the game", they should fire him? So, 29 teams should fire their managers every year? To be clear, the Sox don't need to hire "the best manager in the game" to improve over their current leader, Ozzie Guillen. There's plenty of managers better than Guillen, but if there's just one available, it reasons Guillen should be replaced by that man.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 4, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) Really now? You would think that from following the team you could possibly recognize when a team plays at the level of its shoetops like this year. There was nothing ANY manager in baseball could do to right this ship this year. Look at the horrible years these guys are having. The question shouldn't be asking what man could have lead this Sox roster to great success, but if Guillen is the best manager in the game. The answer is no. Solution: Don't extend the contract of a man of inferior managing abilites, and hire one better.

I don't know about Castro, but this thread isn't alive without that vid clip of him falling down after a speech.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 02:13 PM) This is our annual sixty-one: the single-minded harping record. You're trying to set a record for most Cubs comments, breaking either Hangar's record or Cuck the Fubs: last year Flash tried to break the record with Liriano: SSI71 is trying to break the record with Walker but he's faltered of late: WhiteSoxFan101 is trying to crack it with Ozzie: LV wants to do it with Rowand, but he doesn't have the longevity or the total posts on it to make it: I'm trying to do it this year with Gavin Floyd and John Schuerholz. * When listing, use semi-colons instead of colons.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:07 PM) Nope, he had a hitter 0-2 and threw him 2 crappy breaking balls, that's what got him. On another note, hitters had been 0-30 with 18 k's and 0 walks against Bobby when the count went 0-2 this year, so that's another streak that ended tonight. Actually, Farmer and Singleton mentioned how Jenks's fastball and curveball were up, something that doesn't happen with normal work.

Perhaps if Jenks didn't have 8 days off, he would have been sharper tonight and kept the streak going.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) I don't want to see Gathright up there. Ditto, but it's the 9th inning and we have a one-run lead. Time for our closer. WHEW on that Gathright near hit.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) Time for Mr. Jenks to introduce himself to the record books? Let's hope so!

Scotty Pods going DEEP for his second homer of the year. 2-0 Sox.

I still rather watch my last place Sox than preseason Bears.
