QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox Technical term is designated for assignment. Ohman told teammates Sox "crapped on his heart." Poetic. And if he wants to return to his teammates, he can go to Charlotte and work on not sucking. I didn't dislike Ohman, I rarely dislike players on the Sox, but he f***ed up. It's his fault. And I love how moves happen this year. Past few years it seemed like nothing ever happened. Gonna agree with SS2k5, Ozzie probably fought everything.

I was about to start this. Bastard

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) He likes the one song...Pumped Up Kicks. I lost it when I saw that video at the Cell. Damn, Robin gave him a chance, he blew it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) greg's problem is that his love for Ozzie (aka 2005) has blinded him from facts and logic. He sees everybody taking shots (justified or not) at his hero and doesn't know what else to do other than to defend his guy. Personally, I've never seen somebody so obsessed with a manager. Players? Sure. But not a manager. And where greg kinda loses points is that the Sox have at worst a 50% chance of winning the division THIS YEAR. With Robin in charge and not Ozzie. I think there's part of him that doesn't want that to happen because he loves Ozzie so much and that would be the ultimate, "see, Ozzie was the problem," and he'd have to eat it and admit he was wrong. Nobody knows better than me what it's liked to get ganged up on. But I admit when I'm wrong. I don't think greg wants to do that. LOL NY KNICKS. Edit: Wait, s***, wrong thread. Oh well.

I want Rizzo to fail spectacularly because of all this damn hype.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) I'd totally be willing to call Septimo up and see how he does. Lefty has been very good down in Charlotte this season And he has a cool name.

Hah! Your first career HR was meaningless.

Has Hawk gone a game all year without complementing our OF D?

So, I slept extra late and didn't know the game was at noon. How'd we get 10?

Happy Birthday CoOlIcE! Just kidding man, have a good one. And you as well Swing

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:14 AM) This has NOTHING on my Paul Konerko post a month ago about him testing positive for computer parts. I blame you for his slump.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) I'm getting kicked off? That sucks. I tried to be a loyal poster. As far as winning percentages? See? Ozzie's was damn good as well. Over 50 percent. Ad Weaver only won one? Oz has one. Tommy has two? Oz figures to get another. He's in his 40s. No one said you're getting kicked off... And Ozzie's WP% is lower than both Lasorda and Weaver. Weaver won the AL pennant 4 times and had many other 90+ win seasons. Ozzie does not figure to get another. No one figures to get another, that's an asinine assumption that just undervalues how hard it is to win a WS. That logic says Robin will win one, so the Sox should hold on to him until he does.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 01:36 AM) The first thing I think of Bobby is 2005. The second thing I think of Bobby was when he retired 41 straight (is that still a record?) (What year was it ? 08?) The third thing I think of Bobby was that damn game in Minnesota. It was '08. I agree with these.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 12:15 AM) Bell is horrible. That is not Ozzie's fault. I don't even know how many WS titles Weaver and Tommy won, but arguably Oz is already better than those two because he led the Chicago White Sox to a WS title. Do you realize Chicago teams DO NOT win WS titles? And guess who led them to one?? Ozzie. Before Ozzie? I don't even know who our manager was in 1917 or whenever we won one. If you think heath Bell is good, then bless you. Heath is a trainwreck and he's not Ozzie's fault. Why? I don't think I'm banned yet. OZZIE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING ARGUABLY BETTER THAN WEAVER AND LASORDA. Weaver won one for the Orioles, their second one in franchise history. He has a .583 win %. Lasorda has two titles, is in the HoF as a manager, and a .526 win %. While .526 isn't too great, he has two titles. And I feel bad for you because you're getting eviscerated and don't even realize it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) Because you weren't at that game in Minnesota. That was undoubtedly the worst feeling I've ever had as a Sox fan. Nothing compares. The first thing I think of with Bobby Jenks is 2005, and that was a hell of a ride. Shortly thereafter it's the downfall and how Ozzie kept throwing him out there even though he pretty obviously had nothing left. That was the day that Ozzie's tenure was over, Bobby's tenure was over, Dunn's started. That was one of the worst losses I've ever seen. And I wasn't there.

Oy vey

I feel bad for Greg now. Damn.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) This is like one of those trainwreck versions of CHEATERS that you can't avert your eyes from...as inevitable as the denouement may have been.

Reed needs to end the Jenks-syndrome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) Ben Gordon and Pistons protected 2013 draft pick to Charlotte for Corey Maggette. I miss BG

And I've never seen Jason do anything like that.

Holy frijoles. Also, I prefer Beckham in the 2 spot and Youk in the 8 to give Dayan protection and break up the free swinging Cubans.

I'm still in shock over that.
