QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 02:56 PM) A middle-of-the-pack team is appropriate send off for KW. They would have battled foe the best record had KW listened to your advice and picked up Pierre and Zambrano.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) I should probably just stick talking about Ozzie rather than the Marlins since I am no expert on that team. I did think Miami would win the division, yes. Sometimes teams are so bad even Ozzie can't rescue them.

The regular officials owe the guy in Green Bay a bit of gratitude. If he wasn't so obviouslyincompetent on a national telecast, I doubt the deal is done.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 07:53 AM) Now Ozzie doesn't respect Bell... http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/miami-m...ath-bell-092512 Unless the Marlins eat a lot more money than they will have to eat if they dump Ozzie, Bell is going to be a Marlin for a while. This is Ozzie's get out of Miami statement. The parallel (sp) career-wise to Ditka is incredible to me. It certainly seemed to me Ozzie was trying to get fired last year, and he seems to be up to his old tricks again 12 months later. I hope he enjoys his paychecks the next 3 years, because I think teams will see a pattern here and realize the possible spark he might provide isn't worth the headaches and the bad ending that are just about guaranteed.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Wow. I left to take a piss and the inning is already over Not a good day to be a vendor. Its like Buehrle is back for those guys.

Just someone get on base so the tying run is at the plate.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) Do you think our team does not match up well against any Central team except Minnie? What can the Sox do to better compete against the Central in the future? Bring back Ozzie

Gets his in between starts work in and gets a couple outs.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:50 PM) Well i was wrong about that. Great inning by Omogrosso there He's been really good today. Its not exactly the 1998 Indians. Shows you what throwing strikes can do. Maybe Ventura knows what he's doing. Maybe as Greg would say, he's dumb like a fox.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) We could go with the Tigers approach and DH Youk with PK playing third and Dunn at first I think Youk needs to hire a personal trainer this offseason. Get stretched out, maybe strengthen the core a bit, lose a little around the gut. He doesn't have to do anything crazy, just something that will make him hold up a little better.

Lillibridge is still the same.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) The Sox would not be in first if they had not traded for Youk, but man has he sucked for a while now. He's worn down. Supposedly playing 3B kills him physically. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in Boston next year. 1B is now open again over there.

Dissappointing, but still within reach. I hope they leave this guy in another inning.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) Allen for Cleveland is a STUD. Don't want to see that dude. They have a lot of good relievers, yet the team still sucks.

Tying run at the plate.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) Wait. back to back touchdowns. Quick strikes by our potent offense. Touchdown by the Tank Viciedo. Now 4-2. Offensive coordinator must have seen something in the clips. Making some nice halftime adjustments.

southsideirish71 won't be posting until something bad happens.

This game is over.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) Yeah and I'd imagine you frequently have to abandon the scouting report based on whatever pitch Liriano can throw for a strike at that moment. Pitch selection yes, as for location, just throw that out the window when he's on the mound.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) Whoever the White Sox advanced scout is, they are not very good at their job. You know one thing, if the scouting report says throw the ball away to someone, Liriano is one guy who will be able to execute it better than anyone. He puts it right where he wants it every pitch.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) RV's obsession with matchups started Liriano today and continues to kill us. Ventura's been terrible. He has a team that was supposed to lose 95 games, who has a roster according to this website where 90% of the players absolutely suck and has them in first place. He's stealing money. He should resign.

What's the score 8-0?

If you really need a k Lillibridge and his Adam Dunn strikeout rate is ideal.

I wonder if Liriano has any clue as to how much more money he could make if he could throw more pitches at least close to being strikes.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) Okay Guillen needs to stop with the random calls to rid our bases of runners by having them run into outs. Would have been a DP anyway.
