QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 05:35 AM) It's not even close. In KW's corner - there's a lot you can harp on but some gold you can glean as well. Ozzie.... not so much. I really just want to hear Greg's rationale on this, as he believes the opposite.

This isn't a "I want them both gone" type of thread. If we had to start over with one of Kenny or Ozzie, who would you kick? I say Ozzie, due to Oney, his refusal to acknowledge statistics, his love of scrappy grinders, the awful manner in which he handles young players (Anderson, Morel, Tracey, Dayan, Lillibridge, etc.), his belief that all starters go 7 IP and 200 Innings by default and his LOVE of using that one guy in the bullpen (Pena, Williams).

I really want him gone. So badly.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 12:32 AM) Yeah, well, the Pirates didn't owe their 1B $36 million, nor their DH (because they don't have a DH) $56 million. They were able to simply let him go. Williams made room on the roster for Alejandro De Aza, who is capable of playing CF and has played well in the minors. He also made it pretty clear that he wanted De Aza playing quite a bit. Maybe Ozzie should get him in the lineup a little more often instead of going back to the same s***ty well in Rios.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Really dude, tell me more reasons why Tony Pena is good. I'm anxious to hear them. More? I don't think there is one. But I don't like that since we traded a fringe prospect for a crappy reliever we idolize the damn prospect. He should have been a throw in for an attempt or A-Gon, or Doc, or whoever else wanted but didn't have bullets for. Same for Hudson.

Haha Swisher.

Well s***.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) So you honestly believe that Teahen, out of the blue, decided to blast Oney freaking Guillen? There's more to this that we don't know....either someone passed something along to Mark that Oney said or Teahen's tweet had nothing to do with Oney. I'm of the opinion that the former is more likely when put in an historical context. I honestly think Oney had to have said something about Teahen's wife. That would explain why he got mad enough, and Oney's choice response.

Jesus f***ing christ. f*** Oney Guillen. Hey Joe, since you'll read this tell him to go f*** himself. I really want to organize a twitter raid on this guy.

I'd like to see KW with a coaching staff devoid of Ozzie and Walker. This team would probably not suck as much right now.

We'll win if it gets rained out after 5.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) well i know one of those numbers you can rule out pretty easily... Obviously 20, that's Quentin.

Teahen, you brilliant man. I wish he hadn't sucked, cause he's a cool guy by all accounts. And Oney works for the f***ing Sun Times? Who you know I guess. But who the f*** did Cowley know?

Meeting today. I hate this lockout so much. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/...t-meeting_n.htm

BUT ALLEN IS A FUTURE HOF.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Pair the self promotion with using an apostrophe in Yankees and we've got strikes one and two! Yes. Also, we shall never be over .500 again. EVER. We will become the Seahawks to get in the playoffs.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Reed is really somethin else. A.Reedfan8? (No idea what his number is)

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 07:16 PM) The pitching isn't great. Sorry to offend you. I'm just gonna wait for Kal to swoop in now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:55 PM) Not bad on the extremes and absolutes, but the real J4L would have thrown in a lot more rape and sodomy euphemisms. "Kenny Williams is more addicted to sucking as a GM then a dog cocaine laced peanut butter"

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) The pitching is not great. Oh GMAFB. It is. It's been the best in the AL since what, May? Go back to praising Ozzie's great lineups.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Ditto. At least Dunn is trying out there. Can't stand a player who is just lazy with the bat and on the field. Not to mention Dunn can take a walk as well (you know.. still get on base). This.

I hate this deadline.

If there is no trade announced tomorrow after the game (Buehrle pitching) I will harm something.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Do you really think the Phillies overpaid for Hunter Pence? I thought it was a steal, and they would have paid even less for Quentin. No, but it was a HUGE price and Quentin should have been able to get something not much worse.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) All HALE this thread! Off topic, but re-reading the Hobbit. What was the town that Smaug got shot in?
