QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) I second the boring-bad movement. It's really sad to think back and realize this team was fun to watch and in contention for about 6 innings on April 1st. They scored 15 runs, but gave up 10, and we were all like "Huh... well we won but didn't need that 10 runs given up...Oh well" it's literally all been downhill since then. +1 I remember someone posted in a game thread like in the first week of the season that it was gonna be a fun summer and I totally agreed...then Thornton had a meltdown and let the A's score like 4 runs in the 9th and we eventually lost in 10. A whole lot of suck has happened since then and they are a very boring team.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Ozzie actually made plenty of mistakes in 2005. I recall many times thinking that a game was won in spite of him. The one spot that jumps out at me was the bullpen. He'd continually run the wrong guys out there at the wrong time (Shingo, Vizcaino, and especially Marte), but the other guys in the bullpen were just so damn good (Politte, Cotts, and Jenks) or lucky (Hermanson) that they almost always cleaned up the mess when needed. You still gotta give the skipper some credit during that postsaeson run (El Duque vs the Red Sox, Geoff Blum ph in the 14th inn), I don't believe in luck, Ozzie deserves credit as much as anyone for 2005.

To be honest, all this vitroil against Ozzie does kinda sadden me, I mean, how proud were we after 2005 and it has come down to this? I was an ardent Ozzie supporter because he pushed all the right buttons that magical year and ended a nearly century old age of futility, you just don't luck yourself to a WS title, granted, things have to go your way but as a manager, you still have to make the right decisions.Marlins manager McKeon said a manager doesn't become dumb, so wtf is up with OG and those boneheaded decisions he's made recently?Does he want to get fired?Maybe he doesn't care anymore?I really don't know but damn, nearly everyone here at ST wants him gone and deservedly so, I'm just amazed at how we got from 2005 Ozzie to this.

Well, hopefully sox fans who read that article will come here to see for themselves if those allegations are true and after reading this thread, they'll see it was BS and maybe they'll become members of SoxTalk...

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 06:55 AM) If Jr. stopped in the filibuster there are plenty of anti Mexican comments in regards to immigration. and that's why I hardly ever post in the filibuster, for too many folks, Mexicans=illegals, never mind that the US basically gangstered half of Mexico's territory in the Mexican-American "War".

I call him Jean Pierre, sounds more Frenchy.

Am I the only guy who would like to see LaRussa back in town?The dude's a douche but he's also a proven winner. I don't mind assholes as long as they get the job done. Douchebag winner>>>Classy loser

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) 'Get out of here you Mexican.' doesn't seem like something that would come from Soxtalk. It definitely doesn't paint of positive picture and is really stupid since Ozzie is from Venezuela. That kind of comment would be at least a 6 month ban at WSI. Yeah, I never read any anti-Mexican stuff like that here at SoxTalk, in fact, the opposite is true, we were all hyped last year when we thought we had a shot at Adrian Gonzalez...someone here called OG an illiterate redneck, which was strange. BTW, SoxTalkers for the most part know where each latin sox player comes, exp, Lexi=Cuban, Santos and CQ=Mexican, Rios=PR and so forth... Jr. should check his facts.

Wow, that 1st base ump is a jackass, that was a quick hook

I love De Aza's hustle. Typical, runners on scoring position with one out and wr can't push a run in.

Hmmmm...what it all boils down to is basically an internet cat fight between an obnoxious spoiled brat vs an overpaid classy scrub who whenever he took to the batter's box, a collective groan could be heard at SoxTalk. And some people are actually getting all worked up about it...weird.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 12:40 AM) That was an excellent article. It wasn't bashing him at all. It's something the Dunn haters need to read. Nobody hates Dunn the person, seems like a nice guy, we hate that he got a huge contract and is producing what I basically could've given the White Sox at a much cheaper price.

Meh, I won't opine on Mrs Teahen, but Mark is just not a very good baseball player and I'm glad he's gone...if only we could've sent OG, KW and about a half dozen scrubs we have to Toronto.

All In!!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) I wonder if some of the guys will listen to the new hitting coach next year. Beckham's career is at a crossroads and somehow they have to develop a line drive mentality. I don't know what to watch the rest of the way. I'd bring up Danks and play DeAza every day and Viciedo every day. Maybe even Flowers almost every day and let AJ DH or something since he's had a good season. We might as well let a lot of guys close and shut down Sergio and Humber if they are overworked. Maybe give Mark a break and shut him down as well and let some AAA guys start a few games. Yo.Greg, you're getting ahead of yourself, Walker is unfireable...he must have some pics of JR and a 16 year old.

I'll never understand why some of you people still care enough to follow this boring ass team... I'll tune in once in a while because I love baseball and the White Sox will always be my team but I've accepted the fact months ago that this team save for it's starting rotation, well, they really aren't a good team.It's not like they are gonna stop sucking, you guys must really be gluttons for pain. FIRE OZZIE FIRE KW FIRE WALKER

I never bought this team as being good, they are a .500 team at best. Only reason we are in a divisional race is because we're "lucky" enough to play in the comedy Central.

Both suck camel balls.

All In!!! If it's canning OG, KW and Walker, count me in! If not, f*** this team.

Thanx EJ! When he's on, he's downright nasty. Big supporter of Jax but I do admit we got hosed by Arizona and those posters saying Arizona won that trade were right all along.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) It should be, but many people hate this gm and/or manager so much that I wouldn't put it past them to want them to fail. I can't speak for anyone else but there is nothing I want to see more than the White Sox winning, even with KW or that moron at the helm.

I love the White Sox, just not this version with that suck offense and horrible manager. I would love to eat crow but it ain't happenin'.

So Amy Winehouse was like a small business that went under? What a stupid and insensitive comparision.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) Yeah, one of these things is not like the other. Well, obviously she won't leave the same mark on music the others before her did, I'm not even a fan of her music, I was more taken by the fact she died of drugs like those others before her at the exact same age. Brian Jones was also 27 I believe when he died.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) Joining the 27 club Yeah, that's really weird, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and now Winehouse...
