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.

Anderson should have the center field job locked up, and not have to compete for the job in ST. Sweeney and Owens should come into camp knowing they're competing with each other for the left field position.

Why did the Sox stop playing the A Current Affair sound effect that used to sound after each Sox run scored? I love that sound. To hear that sound, listen about 10 seconds into this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XinI2B5yvUM

For some reason I keep reading the title of this thread as, "Buehrle speaks love for Cintron."

With the evidence and informants accumulated, I don't see how Vick wouldn't accept the plea bargain. The plea bargain is for 1 year jail time vs. 5 years if it goes to trial, plus he'd lose out on playing time during the trial. If Vick doesn't take the plea bargain and loses his trial, his NFL career is basically over. If he takes the plea bargain, serves a year in jail and maybe another year on suspension from the NFL, he can salvage his career and cut his prison time by 80%. I don't see how Vick doesn't accept the plea deal. If I were him, I'd have accepted it days before the deadline.

This is an old prank. I remember this from as far back as the early Bam Margera days. Still funny.

As I posted before, this is why we need to bring back home economics to schools. Without it, our youth will blur the gender lines and this is the result. Soon girls will not be pressured to stay thin like their favorite movie stars and then guys won't want to bone them. No procreation leads to extinction, so for the benefit of the human race, bring back home economics.

KW needs to send Contreras to the Cards so they can send Kip Wells from the rotation to the bullpen.

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 11:04 PM) this team isn't going anywhere with jim thome in the lineup, as sad as that is to say because he's one of my favorite players on this team, easily my 2nd or 3rd favorite his OBP is extremely high figuring he never hits, like ever, and its only because when guys ahead of him get on, and steal 2nd, they just walk thome to get to a weaker hitter behind him Awesome signature. "Don't touch the watch."

Bonds is trying to save face for the popular comments saying he's proven a cheater because he never went through with a lawsuit claiming otherwise.
