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.

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.
