QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Is there anything of substance to the 150+ posts I missed? If so, I'll go back and read it. But if it's just quibbling back and forth about Cowley, I'm not interested. It would be nice if we let it all would go away. There's a new manager. How much attention can Cowley get on old news.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 09:48 AM) This. Imagine how the team could have performed this year if everyone was on the same page. Sounds like the players need an excuse for their under achievement. I don't buy into the soap opera having an effect on the players. Its their job to concentrate on baseball.

Now that this is done. I'm interested in who the hitting coach will be.

The organization needed to hire a white guy since they the last 2 were minorities.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) I think Cooper is a great pitching coach but I absolutely hate his personality based off interviews ive heard him in and would not enjoy having him as manager one bit. Not to say he is the devil cowley says in his column just my opinion over the years about Cooper. He's a whiney wuss.

I don't know why people freak out over this. Imagine if you could see the lists from every team, some names you would find it surprising.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Man I really cant believe that people are negative on this move. Most people have assumed that Robin would be a hot coaching option as soon as he decided that he wanted to coach. The fact that the Sox were actually able to convince him to coach is pretty impressive. Im not sure what experience has to do with coaching baseball. This isnt football where you call plays, its baseball and Im pretty sure that I could program a computer to make better decisions than Ozzie. "IF A stats against LHP > B stats against LHP replace B with A." Robin is exactly the opposite of Ozzie, which is exactly what this team needs. This is one of the few hires that Id actually be interested in. It really isnt difficult to be a baseball manager, and its almost impossible to be worse than Ozzie "I make the line ups" Guillen. "Hello." "Hi Robin this is Kenny. How ya doin?" "I'm just chillin' watchin' some TV." "Great, great. Listen.....you wanna manage the White Sox?" "mmmm, I guess so."

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) I think he just finished his last swing at a slow curve ball. *crickets* *off in the distance, a dog barks* We should bump this once in awhile for fun.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) Apparently, the Red Sox are looking at bringing in a younger manager instead of a big name one. They are going to be going head to head for Dave Martinez and Sandy Alomar Jr with us. Hopefully Kenny doesn't mess around and is interviewing these guys as we speak. I could see Martinez going to Boston and that's who I really want. Any rumors they might go through their organization?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) You know guys, if we moved CQ, Thornton, and at least one of Danks/Floyd, we might end up with close to a league-average farm system by spring training, what with Martinez/Marinez already here for filler. This would be at least a little exciting. It's hard to say without knowing the quality of instruction in the farm system.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Does 2005 feel like an eternity ago to anyone else? Nope. It's still fresh every post season. They kicked ass. This season it was like watching a different organization.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 07:41 AM) No sweeps in the Division Series this year. First time since 2003. 2004-2010: 28 series. 14 sweeps. That's what happens when the Twins don't make the post season.

I wish Kenny would hurry up and hire a new manager so we can put all of this behind us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) Never in a million years will I understand why the Yanks and Red Sox didn't go all out to get Danks. Maybe they don't believe he could handle the pressure. Maybe his "greatness" ends outside of Chicago.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) Pitch Rick Porcello, give Yanks all the momentum. Was that the same guy that got hammered in the rain delayed opener?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) When does he plan on tapping that potential? I don't want to sit around and get nothing out of this guy simply because we think he can do better than this. He's not signing an extension. We need to get something of value for him. Maybe as soon as the Royals start winning divisions. They probably get more value for him in the off season than a trade deadline.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 06:44 PM) Then you know what would have been great? Stretching him out to 165 innings this year. Best thing you could have done if you were really worried about him breaking down at the end of the year. That still has a chance to happen or they will risk harming him for the future.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) I say the headline "Chris Sale to be Moved" and freaked out that they were trading him already. Rumor has it the Cards wanted him for Rasmus.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) Martin just took a 100 MPH fastball to the ribs. I laughed. I wonder if that gun was really accurate. I can't imagine a human walking down to 1st after getting beamed in the ribs. Plus there were guys fowling off some of those pitches. Or maybe the Sox hitters have the slowest bat speed in the majors.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) I'm not sure what people have against the Tigers (except Valverde). They played the right way. They were just decent, but saw their opportunity and made some key additions to the team in-season. They're not the Twins that perennially piss on us or the Indians with their terrible fans. I have no problem whatsoever rooting for the Tigers. Sox fans will hate them even more if they make some off season improvements. At least they don't look like a consolation team just to be happy in the playoffs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) lol. How can you possibly hate Tampa? I don't know..maybe for not winning their division.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 1, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Well isn't that compassionate of u? Nope, just not understanding of how wealthy people have lost money. The usual response is "living within their means". That's not how people always go broke.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 1, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) Really, you would seek sympathy if you blew a $3.5 million salary?? I understand some people don't have the best education in how to invest and spend the money, but it should be common sense to anybody that you have X amount of money, therefore you can only spend X amount of money before it's gone. $3.5 million is a lot of money, it would take multiple screwups before that person was in really deep s***, and they should've learned their lesson by then. That's short sighted. Some have lost it on investments, bad accountants. It's more difficult for an individual to keep track of that kind of money. Do you think they keep it in a checking account and wait for their daily email from Chase?
