ILMOU

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) Greg, first let me point out your Ozzie love doesn't bother me like it bothers others. I think its misguided, but I'm sure a lot of things I support, you would not particularly have a high opinion. Snooki and the Kardashians make millions from TV shows. It has nothing to do with respect, just the dumbing down of the country. Fox doesn't bring Ozzie on for intelligent baseball discussion. You also stated last year Ozzie was going to Miami to win championships. His players are arguing with him on the field, he made comments about Castro that went over in his new community like JR announcing there would be no more beer sales at USCF and concession stands were going all vegan would go over with White Sox fans. He brags about getting drunk after every game. An article comes out where his coaches do all the work, he sits in his office an plays games on his IPad. After a loss this week he said he's going to have 7 beers and a take a sleeping pill. The team is looking like the past few editions of the White Sox. Its not going as planned in Miami. We know it isn't going to end well, but its starting to appear its probably going to end even uglier than imagined. It will also probably end much sooner than imagined. Ozzie isn't a miracle worker. After recent articles, one may have a hard time saying worker and Ozzie Guillen in the same sentence. I don't know if it was Oney or whatever it was, but Ozzie has lost his way. He's about Ozzie. That doesn't work long term. Great post, DA.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) The Sox never seem to win these kinds of games. This particular team is not winning nearly enough of them.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) All good moves, except I might have wanted a non-Bruney reliever This, absolutely. Seen enough here, and want to move along.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan (Cubs Beat Writer) Sox designate Fukudome for assignment. He only cost $1 million though, not $48 million. Champagne cork popping. Hoping this means more of JorDanks despite his overeager bonehead play last week.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 12:59 PM) Maybe we will have a repeat of this game? That's what I'm thinking. Sad watching the Rockies this year.

Rockies, and their starters' ERA in the neighborhood of 6.25 heading to muggy Texas this weekend. Has any team ever scored 50 runs in a three game series?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) But at least it exposed our problems and forced us to deal with them. I felt like this series was an audition for guys like Stewart and Floyd. Floyd passed, Stewart failed. Now at least we won't have to see Stewart any more. Not starting and not out of the pen. Less problems to deal with in the future. Agreed. I suggested Ax for Stew a few weeks ago, not that I'm real high on him or anything, and (after a little more pain) now it's a reality. Not quite sure who's on deck if Ax can't get it done either, but that's the proverbial bridge we'll cross when we get to it. Unless he changes something in his arsenal/delivery (and AAA is the place for this to happen), I can't see ZS as a major leaguer.

Ayala sounds like an interesting potential prospect. Wouldn't mind if they try to sign him with some of the leftovers.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) I think Father Time is the biggest culprit It's hard to say what the reason(s) are, but he should be demoted within the pen unless he steps up soon. Wish we could trade him before this becomes absolutely necessary.

Sucks, but not unexpected. Govt. rarely wins high profile cases against high-priced private attorneys. He's still guilty as sin, and most in the BWAA will see it that way.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) Matt Thornton gave up two soft liners to left field Not so much. I gave up defending this guy a few weeks ago. Wish we could have dealt him.

Game saved by GB, temporarily.

Can't make that play, Jordan.

Need a long one from TFlow here. Not exactly murderer's row here in the 10th.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) Glad we did that for the sake of using the closer in the closer's role. Pandering to a stat. F***ing hate it!!

They're not squaring up Q at all.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Jesus, what a grab by Ethier. Elf truly can't get a break this season. Best contact he's made all year, maybe he'll be useful yet.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) My question is how in the world did Molina dominate as much as he did last year if his fastball is so mediocre? I would love for someone to analyze his stuff from last year and this year by someone who's seen him both years. Me too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Stewart, Santiago and Ohman just aren't capable of holding the team in games....something that the likes of DJ Carasco or Tony Pena were better at, IMO. Santiago's going to be fine and Ohman should be a LOOGY. Stewart, yes, has generally been killing us not keeping the team in games, and the ceiling seems low.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Find a new adjective. Pretty sure he's using it as a noun.

Wow, Gavin's killin' me here.

Gavin's fastball is an extreme liability these days.

Coop should visit Gavin every inning.

I had a bad feeling about that walk to the 8 hitter.
