So, where's Barber?

Viciedo is made of cupcakes and badass.

Viciedo has a cannon for an arm. Holy s***.

Happy birthday to two awesome posters!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) This is so ironic. Remember Bobby Jenks last season? QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) When I was standing up for Jenks he still was earning a lot of saves. In fact, didn't he blow a similar amount to Sergio? And I like Sergio. And Matt? He was really good as closer this year. I said last year I was in favor of closer by committee with Jenks struggling some. Jenks was nowhere near as bad as Done. Yeah, but this year, Bobby has fallen off almost to Dunn's level.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) It's not just the "Ozzie haters" that want him gone. It's those of us who realize that Ozzie has not done a good job managing this team this year. His job was made harder with the performances of Rios, Dunn, and others, but Ozzie could have made many different choices to compensate for that. His not PHing for Dunn (then subsequently PHing for De Aza) was just the latest in a series of bad managerial moves. But Ozzie is all knowing...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) You prolly hate me now after my last post. No offense by it, though. I just tire of the Ozzie hatred. Nah greg, you're generally incredibly respectful, just have a differing opinion.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) What this "We've", Do you play, or work for the White SOX? So winning is your only criteria? Should you not be happy, and Ozzie is great, because we won that game? I'm not even gonna bother. I'm gonna take a page out of Milkman's book on how he deals with greg (though I like greg)

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) I realize, that situation and stated... What does it matter, the season was over about a month ago.. So who cares. I also realize it.. in the 1st, the 6th and the 8th.. Just badly built ball club.. But, I'm sure that's Ozzie's fault. Ah, so when we've failed previously, don't bother trying to win.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) If this is sarcasm fine. If it's mocking one of our only decent hitters, shame. When Juan Pierre goes on an internet board, he only uses a single line to make his point.

I will give props to Marty though, this is a classy thing to do if he ever is given the chance to follow through.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 10:57 PM) From the article, seems like the manager was making some smart moves... So let bash him for the players not performing! From the game, seems like the manager was making some stupid moves...So let bash him for the players being set up to fail! I gotta apologize to Marty. This guy has to be Cowley.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) You have a great sense of humor. You have great baseball knowledge.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 07:16 PM) No-shows again. Come on people. I live to far away and can't drink beer.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Beckham, would have been in AAA for all of 09, if KW got a 3B... And let him grow and fail in the minors. IMO, and I don't know if this is possible, but you bring in a veteran like Mark Ellis, have him compete for with Beckham, if Beckham can't make it throw him in AAA, until he can hit .300 for over a month at the min. Ellis brings a nice stopgap, and a good backup as well if Bacon Who is going to replace Morel, the great Mark Teahan, another one of KW great PUs. As said before, The Sox have not had a 3b on their roster since Crede left. Give me a f***ing break. Gordon was good his rookie year. Than Walker f***ed with his swing. Then refused to change his swing back. Then KW tried to fire Walker. JR said no.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) No, Moneyball was about Michael Lewis giving Billy Beane and the Oakland front office a complete hand job. Sabermetrics existed long before Billy Beane and heavy steroid use. Research about Markov models of baseball lineups existed in the late 80s and there were numerous books written on similar research. People just think Moneyball made sabermetrics because it was the first time they heard about it. f*** Michael Lewis and Billy Beane. Carry on.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) Yet another great KW pickup huh? I recall the exact date that Ozzie, told KW.. I want This Rios guy barely hitting his weight in TOR, you get me him.. OOO wait, it never happened. KW was trying to block DET from grabbing him, because he thought.. Hey the Griffey trade didn't work last year.. and we are what 6-7 back. so it makes sense.. so what if he is owed 75mil more.. KW is to blame for Rios, he shouldn't be here.. Period. And Ozzie still sucks, so your point is...?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Ozzie's managing was so great this game!!! Ozzie didn't make a single mistake this entire game. Just win, baby!!! Give him the extension right now. Even DJ and Farmer are saying how terrible we played...fifth time with bases loaded is finally the charm. Indians issued 11 walks and gave up 10 hits. DJ and Farmer wanted to punch Ozzie from the sound of it. Fox announcers hated on Ozzie too.

OZZIE MUST BE FIRED OUT OF A CATAPULT INTO A BRICK WALL. HIS NAME IS RIOS AND HE DANCES ON THE PATHS (IT'S BEEN A DAMN YEAR SINCE I COULD USE THAT) HUMBER PIERRE THE WORLD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE

WHAT THE f*** JUST HAPPENED?

GODDAMNIT

Juan will be a really good bench player on an NL team next year. Wish that man nothing but the best.

f*** OZZIE.
