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.

Only Dunn is fun bad. Everything else is just miserable. 6.5 games back at the beginning of August. I hope they play better and we can still find a thrill or two in the next almost two months. GO SOX!!

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) Okay guys, enough on the semantics. The topic is done and over with. Greg was sincere and polite and it was not his intention to be creepy. Unintentionally creepy? Story of my life!

Sandburg no, don't want any cubbie contamination. Fisk? C'mon he has absolutely no coaching or managing experience. Just hiring a name. Maybe if he were groomed for it for a couple of years. Duncan will always be Larussa's pithching coach. Don can fly the Coop anytime would be ok with me. First pitch strike get ahead wow what a brainstorm. For those on this site too young to remember or too far away to get the daily feel, Larussa and JR have always been close. Larussa would come back. Hawk fired him I don't know if they mended fences. Maybe not and we can get rid of Hawk Harrelson too. Woohoo! what a coup!

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 04:30 AM) Am I the only guy who would like to see LaRussa back in town?The dude's a douche but he's also a proven winner. I don't mind assholes as long as they get the job done. Douchebag winner>>>Classy loser Me too. I don't like LaRussa but I do like winning.

Death threats? Racist comments? Just make up what ever fits your needs. Seems like all the Guillens have big imaginations to go with their mouths. I can't wait for the mud slinging when they leave town.

2011 slip slidin' away

Oney is an idiot. We all know that. Seldom does a player or family respond to anything like this. I don't believe it was Mrs. Teahen, and I do believe Mark was taking a shot at Oney.

All in........or.....all Dunn?

Their national team could beat the Sox right now.

Things are getting ugly on most every thread.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) But not drawn and quartered....that's good. Maybe we can give him the Scarlett "A" for Alex on his White Sox jersey, since Konerko won't wear his "C" captain one. You know....I was thinking they should have Dunn, Rios and Beckham on the Dr. Phil Show with KW, Oney, Ozzie and Teahen. That would be the most anticipated and highly-rated Sox broadcast of the entire season. PROACTIV solutions would be there as the title sponsor with Jessica Simpson or someone of her ilk (NSS will respond that I should have included Bieber, Ozzie/Sharon Osbourne or Paco Martin on the panel). And exactly how many seconds would elapse before someone went after Oney with a chair? Hopefully security would let them get 2-3 good whacks in first. And then the mano-a-mano Guillen-KW bout would be the main event after the undercard. Its just possible you may have too much time on your hands.

I can live with a guy who gives 100% [Juan Pierre] but just can't get it done. Rios is some kind of prima dona who should be tarred & feathered and walked through the south side on his way out of town!

Dunn's performance has been bad, no doubt. Rios's performance and effort have been bad. That is unforgivable.

KW has messed up but also done some good. He builds an impressive roster but necessarily an impressive TEAM. Ozzie is simply a disgrace to the organization and by extensiom MLB. Many could give as little as him with more dignity and grace. He is a foul mouthed undisciplined festering disease that will bad mouth the White Sox [again] when he leaves.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:41 PM) Ugh, I couldn't disagree more. Ozzie is easily a bottom 5 manager in the league. He has the baseball IQ of a rosin bag. No need to insult rosin bags.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 06:14 PM) The bottom line on Rios is he should never have been acquired. Everybody in baseball knew he was a lazy guy who doesn't respect the game. You can't change people at this stage of life. It's all on KW. He should be fired for acquiring Rios when another team simply wanted to be free of him. Dunn isn't a fireable offense; Rios is. Dunn is a tragic comedy but he had a good track record before coming here. This is perfect greg775. Remember the Sox claimed him off waivers so the Blue Jays were fed up with him. I was in Toronto to watch the Sox open the season there last year. The fans booed him mercilessly. I wondered why. Now I know. He is a bum!
