Thank God our government is do diligent. Nice to see what one party, having all the power, can do.

When I Was Your Age ... Queen Prawn was passing a group of young teens sitting on the church lawn and stopped to ask what they were doing. "Nothing much, Queenie," replied one boy. "We were just seeing who can tell the biggest lie about their sex life.""Boys, boys, boys!" she scolded. "I'm shocked. When I was your age, I never even thought about sex." In unison they all replied, "You win!"

Perhaps we are missing Rowand for more than his baseball skills,

I can't believe it. to his family

We need BoSox at full speed, or else we'll play down to the competition.

^^^^^^^^^^ Payroll numbers are misleading based on things like Thome's contract, where the Sox aren't picking up the whole tab. I'd like to see someone give the actual net cash payroll for each team. I don't see where payroll makes a difference. Would we be in love with this team if we knew the team was making a bigger profit with a lower payroll?

Bottom line, these guys need to play better. It isn't Ozzie's or Kenny's fault. Each of these guys has the potential to play better. Dreaming of trades that are one sided, is only fooling yourself. Yes, you can separate wins from performance, but bottom line, some guys are winners. That's the intangible that separates some guys from AAAA and MLB. Pressure in pitching comes from pitching to win, not pitching for stats.

If the team that will produce one of the top 5 records in Sox history sucks this bad, what about the rest of them? It would be amazing to know if those teams could even tie their own shoes. I'll agree, Ozzie is probably the worst manager in Sox history to manage a team to the World Series.

Welcome to September in Chicago. How many times have we watched September screw ups in our lifetimes? On both sides of Madison . . .

Sadly, this piece of crap team, led by an idiot manager, will have one of the five or six best all-time Sox records. You know, just sayin'

QUOTE(bunkerf16 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 03:49 PM) Question for you Sox fans........how many in here thought Ozzie was a good manager last year, and how much of the "Ozzie Sucks" mantra going on here is because of frustration with how the team is playing......Did you guys think Ozzie sucked last year too, and they won dispite him, or has his management style changed since last year..... Thanks..... Not for the game thread, check the first page of Pale Hose, many Ozzie threads. ANd welcome to soxtalk
