QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) Even the reporter, who presumably goaded a name out of Ozzie, noted that he brought up Acta's name "reluctantly". He didn't attack Acta, it's pretty clear if you read the whole article, but that will be the spin on it. Point is, is that he shouldn't have brought up a name up at all. Ozzie has a job, he's decent at it, he has no reason to give any justification for having that job other then pointing to his World Series Ring, and telling the reporter to shut the hell up. What Ozzie has instead done is create a circumstance that requires Manny Acta to defend himself and deal with an unneeded distraction for another week. Edit: I just heard the clip, and Ozzie brought up Acta on his own. He wasn't coerced, it wasn't reluctant. He coupled his comments as, "Take Manny Acta, Now i don't wanna say anything bad about Manny Acta, But-" This was just Ozzie running his mouth.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) LOL Vazquez is going to have to retire to his beach and money after this year. New York is going to eat him alive Yep, it appears that rumors of Vazquez being a mental midget were more then true,

I'm not that worked up about a lot of this. This is Ozzie being Ozzie. Let him have his say, let him manage the ballclub, and we'll see how things work out at the end of the year. I do find it more then questionable that he called out Manny Acta. That's not cool, you don't do that to another manager, especially one managing in division.

If we take pitches, we can eat Eveland alive.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) The thing is now, this opens up a roster spot for a pitcher in Birmingham. Who gets promoted? Does Omogrosso, Hynick, Derek Rodriguez or Scott Elarton get assigned here? I could see Hynick getting reinstated if his shoulder checks out.

Nearly perfect on every facet of the game. That being said.... FIRE EVERYONE.

Jeremy Reed... Yikes. Not what we expected.

Uh-oh. We're not going to see Nix for another three months.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) Vizquel might as well be named Lindsay Hunter by June 1 FIXED.

DONNY!!!!1

Donny Lucy sighting!

Tony Pena has come out strong this year. It's great to see him turning that corner.

I feel bad for Morrow. He's going to take crap his entire career for being drafted before Lincecum and the Mariners really jerked him around. It's similiar to the Romero-Tulowitski story. Romero got out from under that shadow by being a good pitcher, Morrow needs to sort himself out and do the same.

Hell of a start by Danks tonight.

There's no way that's The Jayson Nix. He's like Beatlemania, an incredible simulation.

Jonesy!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Can we stop all the bulls*** about him not being able to handle DH'ing and not being on the field. ? Q's going to go mad with power.

OZZIEBALL FOR THE WIN!

Pierre makes a contribution!

The most encouraging thing about Teahen is that even with his struggles, he's still having some great at-bats.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) Red Sox claimed Santo Luis. This opens a spot up on our 40, right?

I can't imagine KW is happy with any of the things that Ozzie has been saying lately.

It appears that i may have been wrong Andruw Jones. I couldn't be happier.
