QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 04:08 AM) 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. Juan D'Vaughn Pierre = Coffee, Alabama. The Alabaman with Hispanic first name, African-American middle name, and French last name. God bless his parents for that wonderful name.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 01:49 AM) I doubt that happens. Whole staff needs to be purged. I rather like Coop.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 02:37 AM) The worst people do is when they really get mad they cuss out Ozzie in a thread but it's never come close to being racial. Not the rants against Ozzie. People have screamed for him to leave town but nobody has threatened to even punch Ozzie on here. Now the ESPN readers think soxtalk is full of racist crap which is untrue. And if there was a death threat on here, I'm sure the mods would notify the police which they'd have a right to do. Just doesn't happen. Yeah, while I like Oz Jr., he HAD to be thinking of somewhere else. I can't find anywhere to contact them.

QUOTE (Andrew @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:48 AM) Fine, I deleted it, but I meant every word. I can't wait for the day Ozzie and his BS (including kids) are gone, but a wife of an ex-sucky player writing in???? He DID suck. He was absolutly terrible. And wifey writes in to a fan forum to stand up for him... Good riddance to both - hopefully Ozzie and kids follow soon too. And he's still a human being.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) No. I'd rather they kept Ozzie before Larussa. Sandy Alomar Jr. or Dave Martinez please. Manager: Sandy Alomar Jr. Bench Coach: Robin Ventura Pitching Coach: Don Cooper Hitting Coach: Frank Thomas 1st Base: Harold Baines 3rd Base: Omar Vizquel (and if he follows Ozzie, put just about anyone here).

Er, Ozzie Jr...that comment wouldn't have been tolerated here. Different site. Yes, it's a fan site, so things get said. But you, you're generally respected around here, since you are 100% professional. Feel free to comment, you'll get mostly civil discussion (I can't vouch for everyone).

Erased my post since the original was deleted.

f*** that.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) KW is only 47 and he put together a WS champion. Ozzie gets credit for managing that team but KW gets none for putting it together? They both have had a couple bad years, will need some time off, but will both get jobs and have a chance to succeed. Ozzie will get the first job in FLA, but just wait to see how he acts when his owner spends zero money. And relies on cheap, YOUNG, players. And no fans.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) Once again, Randy with the post of the thread. Those are indisputable facts. KW would never ever be offered another GM job; Oz will be a manager until he decides not to be a manager. No brainer indeed. He'd be offered a manager spot by the Marlins. That's it. No where else would TOUCH Ozzie. Kenny wouldn't be a GM again right away, but I could easily see Kenny being put in charge of a team like the Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, and Mets if they had openings.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) Great. Only I just can't overlook the little fact that Hollywood has assembled an expensive mediocre team. Expensive team that Ozzie is managing poorly and could be better and easily in first place with a top of the line pitching staff and the top bullpen, but a lineup of underachievers that Ozzie puts in position to fail. Also, Ozzie is way more "Hollywood" than Kenny.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) One can only hope that that if statement isn't true. What.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/08/cent...illen-soto.html http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/news/...nDepth/26116801 JR is loyal to a fault, but I can see this being Ozzie's undoing. Going to Reinsdorf with such arrogance appears to be a death wish.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 05:39 AM) Well, he is part of the "media" part. It's good now that it has air quotes.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:49 PM) A tweet from Ozzie Guillen Jr. tonight: In other words, you're wrong. His own kid even says they're very hated, and they should be. (Well maybe not Ozzie Jr, but Ozzie and Oney). I really feel bad for Oz Jr. He's a good broadcaster from what I listened too and knows his stuff. He must be the black sheep of the family.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 05:10 AM) ^^^^^^ This. And I still don't think many here know how many "people" know about this site (sox brass, players/family, prospects, media, etc..) You forgot Cowley.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) Hudson was/is a fringe prospect? I meant that Hudson should have been thrown in a deal for a star player. My bad. I really did like Huddy. But hearing about Brandon Allen like he's the best thing ever gets annoying.

The Ichiro look a like at the Mariners game made my day.

Tommie Harris tol Colts.

Happy birthday to two outstanding posters. For J4L:

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:42 PM) The Bears need to be checking in on the price for Asante Samuels. And it also seems that the Giants would take a 2nd for Osi Umenyiora. I'd be all over that. I'd give up a first for Osi in a heart beat. Peppers and Umenyiora? Sign me up. I need to go the Bears camp soon, since it's down the street.

Moving my post here. Mrs. Teahen, let me preface this by saying while Mark obviously didn't perform how we wished him to here, it was impossible not to root for him. He tried 100%, did what the team asked, and his Twitter was a very nice escape from some...painful to watch baseball from this team. Class act and we liked him. Now, we assumed the tweet was about Oney because, well, we aren't Oney fans. But even if it wasn't about Oney, he made it about him. And not one of us took the side of Oney (earlier in this thread, it was acknowledged that you we're not hideous, unhealthy, or manly, but indeed pretty). Regardless of whoever that text was about, if anyone at all, Oney and the Guillen family circus made it about them and it is disgusting and abhorring, especially Oney's unwarranted comments about you.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 04:47 PM) I definitely thought Tracey had what it takes to be at least a decent reliever, but I must have been wrong seeing as he's never made it with anyone. He had a bad injury not long after Ozzie was the biggest ass in the world to him. Let me reiterate the Ozzie Jr. appreciation. I once heard him on the Score, he knows his stuff and is generally well spoken. f*** Oney though.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Kenny is worse. Gio, Richard, Hudson for nothing in return. Nice. Rios and Dunn. My god. The Peavy deal gets done 100 out of 100 times. Gio made sense at the time, since Swisher looked like he was going to be really, really good player. Just there was no "personality scouting report" Hudson deal is the only one I never understood. But lets think of it this way, Has kept Konerko, twice, in FA. Got Danks for McCarthy. Got Floyd for Freddy, who had 1 win in a Phils uniform. Built that 2005 team, so obviously he knows how to build a winner. He generally always builds a good BP (Jenks, Thornton, Crain, Putz, Santos we're all steals). Humber gets a spot here. Ramon Castro for the corpse of Lance Broadway.
