The Sox will not go under .500 tomorrow,guaranteed!

So what if the Sox make the playoffs but not the World Series? I would welcome Ozzie gone no matter what. There will be no rebuild old man Riensdorf doesn't have time for that. Larussa will not want that either. Larussa will not be so expensive, him and JR go way back and can work out something. Where Larussa goes Duncan goes. Where Larussa goes winning happens. Like him or not.

Flowers and Lillibridge both in the starting lineup. Both came over from the Braves in the Javier Vazquez trade right. Maybe that trade was ok after all.

Konerko is still hurting, Pierzinski is still out, the batters can't cover outside, over, and inside the plate. The opposing pithchers can keep them off the plate and then we are susceptible to the outside pitch. Beckham was hit last year and still can't cover the outside pitch, because they might throw in again and hit him. The opponents have no worry about the same happening to them, but yeah we get a guy on first when they don't care about it.

Another batter hit and again no retaliation. Pitch inside all you want to the White Sox. Your guys are safe. The Sox never retaliate.

Another Sox batter hit. Why not? Pitch inside all you want against the White Sox they never retaliate!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 09:24 AM) Ozzie shouldn't have to tell his pitchers to retaliate. The pitchers should have enough f***ing balls to protect their team mates without having to be told. Maybe they are told not to.

I gotta kick this dead horse again. Our guys getting hit and opposing pitchers throwing inside, and the Sox never protect by plunking opposing batters. A.J. hurt by Chen last night. No wonder Chen [and so many others] have success against the Sox, they have the whole plate plus inside and outside to work with. No fear of retaliation from our all talk no action manager. A.J. gets hit, Butler gets hit. No discussion its just done. let the catcher think about it when he calls for an inside pitch. When he is at bat he is at risk.

Sale could start but with Thornton ineffective we need a lefty in the Pen. He may be more valuble there. He is not a proven starter but has shown he can do the relief job.

Maybe knowing you can pitch inside against the Sox, even hitting batters without fear of retaliation improves his odds. How many guys have to be hurt before we start fighting back? This has always been the case under Ozzie. He talks a tough game but then allows the opposing pitcher to throw it mercilessly at our guys. After A.J. got hit Butler gets hit. No discussion. An eye for eye every time ( except Quentin.)

The Sox have always tried to get Lillibridge to be a slap hitter. I think they finally unleashed him. Let him hit his natural way. I wonder how many he would have if had as many ab's as Done.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) Holy crap! That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Always putting the fan first. Maybe that is why their attendance is so high.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Wow Morel didn't get benched for hitting a bomb yesterday... Thats Ozzies's usual MO. Vizquel is where he should be. He can handle the bat and is not a big RBI guy. Is Beckham in contention for a gold glove. He should be.

Dunn's alias? Mr. Whiff

no

He started it! Valentine can be an ass but he has a real job to comment on mlb. Oney is just a scab.

The only way to sever Oney from White Sox business is to fire Ozzie and wait for the storm to pass. I don't think Ozzie could control him even if he wanted to. Valentine or any one else has every right to question the White Sox this season. To have the threat of public Twitter attack at any legitimate crticism of the Sox is unacceptable. Maybe some one should find some dirt on this guy and threaten to go public with it if he doesn't mind his own business.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Morel has gotten more of a pass because he's a rookie, he's good defensively, he's worked his ass off, and because he's not getting paid 8 digits a year. Simple, no? Exactly. Plus he has an upside yet to be determined.

I want to make a never give up post but they have brought me up only to knock me down so much this season I am kinda shell shocked. The little kid fun fan in me thinks they still have achance but the adult student of mlb doesn't agree. No matter how you slice it though wins are better than loses. Sweeping Baltimore would be a lot of fun. GO SOX!!

Once again Ozzie sits the hot hand. Rios? Rios? wtf!

Why is Rios playing instead of Quentin? DeAza should be in center and Quentin in right and Rios out. Quentin hits two homers last night and is benched in favor of Rios tonight? They are both right handed right? This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts about Ozzie.

I thought he lived in Miami. I hope he works there soon too.

A Peavy needs more rest move?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) You can add Rios as well. No. Rios is just as bad, but some how just no fun at all.

I truly believe some professionalism in the mangerial position will help tremendously. What if Gardenhire,Sciosia, or Girardi had this team? I know a good manager is hard to find, but this vulgar undisciplined has been we have now has grown stale. I guess ranting on Ozzie belongs on another thread, sorry just so damn frustrated.
