QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) TLR is just a poor choice for the direction the Sox need to go Exactly. At this point, the Sox need to have a mix of young guys and vets. Look at what happened with Arizona this year. We can still win next year in a new environment with some fresh blood under the right circumstances. It doesn't have to be a rebuild, it just has to be a year where we are conservative in free agency and let the younger players (De Aza, Viciedo, Flowers, Reed) play everyday to gain experience. Plus, if Rios and Dunn ever figure out how to swing a baseball bat again, this team can go somewhere. They still have a good enough pitching staff to win and they have enough talent to win what is a bad division. Anything can happen, but it all starts with who we hire as the manager.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Strong comments from Hawk against Ozzie. Basically said Ozzie changed the last few years and that the players didn't like it when Ozzie asked for the new contract after they won five straight games. said the team was starting to pressure the Tigers and that wasn't the time for Ozzie to pop off. Wasn't it Cowley that said KW is the one that changed after 05 and Ozzie has been the same guy? lawl. Ozzie can take Cowley with him.

With Mark being so bad lately, there's actually a good chance we can retain him. I don't know if many other teams will go that hard after him knowing that he will break down in the second half of the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:30 PM) Not for one second did Hawk say that this was the wrong move. Doesn't Hawk like Ozzie a lot?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Ozzie expected to be named manager after Wednesday's game for Florida. A three year deal. Hey, Greg was just a year off!

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Not going to happen but I'd like Bobby V or even Brenly. I don't really want Tony LaR. I'd actually even prefer some young unknown to him. We should be rebuilding anyways. Getting LaRussa says the Sox are still in denial and not completely moving forward yet I honestly would not mind Brenly. Valentine is meh to me. Ultimately, I like Dave Martinez. Former Sox player and coached under Joe Maddon (Maddon actually gives him a lot of credit). Definitely somebody that I think will fit right in with this organization.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Sources confirm Cora will join Oz in Miami. He can take Walker with him.

Buddy Bell...ugh.

People in Boston must want to murder Robert Andino right now.

I'm hoping for the Cardinals to pull this thing out. Too bad they can't win against the f***ing Astros.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) Actually, Ozzie said by far the thing he'd miss the most is the players. Carry on greg But he's so honest!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) Hooker Finder. It's called Craigslist.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Per my Facebook post: Like an innocent man on death row, the White Sox got the wrong man tonight. Kenny Williams, your table is ready. You have already committed $89 million to 11 players next year & your "ace" is pitching tomorrow in his "last" game. Your leadoff hitter might leave the team after a productive season. Do your job and make Chicago proud or get out & be looked down upon. As Guillen said, it was the players that won 2005 - not him (or you for that matter). Thanks for the memories Ozzie. Maybe they'll get the real terrorist next time. Juan Pierre and productive don't go together. At least not this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) Wow! I wonder what he'll say when Walker gets canned.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:56 PM) @SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman excellent white sox pitching coach don cooper is staying with team. its a win-win nite for #chisox 6 minutes ago via web Very good night. Everything's gone well so far. They just have to hire the right manager. Preferably somebody that can at least use splits and doesn't bunt every guy over to second given the chance.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) Never said that, you bring in a vet.. if you truly going all in... If you watched Dunn the 2nd half of last year.. you wouldn't be telling me how great he was. Who would you bring in? If Kenny Williams was so terrible as a GM, I'd like to see you suggest moves that would have been better. And were you seriously suggesting the Sox should have signed Rafael Soriano to a three year deal worth $35 million? And you're the one b****ing about Rios and Dunn's contract? Hahahahaha.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) True.. Nov. 2000.. is worse... and we been living with that bad move for 11 years. Yeah, totally. After all, we would have won the WS in 05 without Kenny Williams... If you feel that this season is all on Kenny Williams, then Kenny Williams deserves the majority of the credit for 2005.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Who else plays 2b? Did you watch the end of 2010 season.. the Nats? I take it no Dunn did have a subpar second half. But even then, he hit 16 home runs and had a .800+ OPS, .200+ points better than what he's done this season. Nobody saw this coming.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) 1. No one saw it.. LOL, a declining slugger in 2010, signs a mutli-year deal... Yeah that's smart 2. Then you are a fool, Rios was a horrible pickup.. This is overreaction to not having a CF since 2005.. I don't want a GM who overreacts for his mistakes, that now hold the team in hostage. 3. YES.. Fa-king YES... 4. So not getting a 2b, allowing Beckham to play.. isn't Kenny's fault.. and is a smart move? But, you are one of those.. Kenny does no wrong got it! How the hell is 38 HRs and a .892 OPS a declining slugger? What kind of world do you live in? And are you seriously suggesting Beckham shouldn't have gotten a chance to start this year after he hit .310 in the second half last year? You're just grasping at straws.

Is it just me or did Ozzie tell somebody to "get the f*** out of here" and they didn't bleep it out? lol

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) Ozzie is the best Manager this franchise has had in the last 50 years. And this is the worst day of any White Sox Fans life... The only people that are happy are Cubs Fans ALC non-White Sox fans Jay Marrotti. I've had much worse. This is just step one to turning this damn organization around and hopefully in the right direction. But I must say, Ozzie was definitely partially responsible for what happened in 2005 and I'm thankful for that. But what happened in 2005 is what happened in 2005. Those accomplishments won't mean much of anything in 2012.

I'll take LoMo or Leo Nunez, or whatever the hell his real name is.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD, YESSSSS!

Yikes...Rasmus has been horrible since joining the Blue Jays. Like almost Adam Dunn bad.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 06:20 PM) 4-0, didn't play great but we got the win. Hopefully it scared them a bit and they come out focused for NW next week. I'm going next week. Offense definitely needs to be better within the red zone.
