Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm

And to think... just lastnight I handed Ozzie a 3 year, 18mm extension on my The Show 2011 franchise. Sandy Almoar has like -15 ratings for pretty much everything... *sigh*

Maybe Omar Vizquel can manage the last few games.

If I had money, I'd buy Mark Buehrle one of these to match his ridiculous truck. Thanks for everything, Mark. *tear*

crap, I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread. OMG. Fail.

This whole thread reminds me of an old Heckler article (which I cannot find) about Felix Pie using his five tools to fix Dusty Baker's kitchen sink. It was pure comedic genius.

Its amazing to me, thinking of all of the players in recent memory that were just awful for the Sox. Andy Gonzalez, Luis Terrero, Gustavo Molina, Wilson Betemit..... etc. And Adam Dunn is STILL worse than them. And makes $14m a year. What a joke. As oldsox pointed out, I completely forgot the Sox gave up their first round pick for Dunn. That makes it "that much" worse. UGH.

OUCH.

If Ozzie is sabotaging the season to make KW look bad by refusing to sit big salary players that arent performing, wouldn't benching half of the "all in" contracts also make KW look bad? Regardless of the outcome (leave the "veterans" in the lineup to figure things out - or - bench the veterans and play the "kids") KW was going to look bad - Simply because the Sox have not completely torn through the AL Central and win 11 playoff games. When you market your team on a "we spent a bunch of money for these expensive players, so come watch them play" and they suck, the GM is going to look bad, no matter how the manager handles the situation. I am not saying Ozzie did or did not sabatoge anything.... I am simply stating that the only positive outcome for Kenny Williams was that the Sox DECIDEDLY win the ALC and perform well in the playoffs as well. Ozzie on the other hand, at least has plausible deniability - in that the Sox are still over 500 and 5 games back in the division - WITH those awful players still on the active roster. *shrug* Whatever.

on the bright side, Indians fans didn't get to enjoy his 500th or 600th HR

Didn't KW spit out the same crap when the Sox claimed Rios? Reporter: Sources are reporting that you've been awarded the claim for Alex Rios. KennyGM: Rios? Do you know something I don't know? I wonder if JR has moved KW out and install Rick Hahn as GM, and not informed him yet? Hahn's first order of business was acquiring a lefthanded bat for Greg Walker to ruin.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) After Swisher, Rios and Done, I no longer believe in the automatic power spike that's supposed to occur when playing at the Cell. Considering those 3 players are equally worthless on the road, you might consider the players themselves (or blame it on the hitting coach) and not disregard the park's obvious advantage played towards the hitters. If you question USCF just reference Konerko's home/road splits over his career: HOME: .295 .375 .553 ROAD: .270 .343 .453

Maybe we can send Ozzie to Minnesota, since he apparently appreciates their fanbase http://twitter.com/#!/OzzieGuillen/sta...306193484787712 #perpetualhattip

Didn't the Cubs just fire their GM? Who is going to handle such a swap on their end, their "interim" GM?

I remember in the offseason most "educated" Sox fans said that any offense from Morel would be gravy, considering his plus glove. Ah, the good ol' days.... back when Adam Dunn and Alex Rios weren't destroying the city and urinating in everyone's cornflakes, back when we were still "All In".... If Adam Dunn and Alex Rios had played within 80% of expectations, I don't think we'd be talking about Brent Morel's offensive output (or lackthereof). This thread is seemingly just a reminder of how bad bad bad bad bad Dunn/Rios is.

I hate this team so much. Its almost like the animal that stands lifeless next to its mate after its been crushed by a truck on the highway. I dont know why I bother standing here next to my dead old friend, the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) ESPN had the game and it was a hot headed comment on a close play and the ump tossed him right away. They didn't know what it was he said, but it had to be offensive to get that quick of a toss. Bruney was mad. Bruney has had a bad game or two, but all in all he hasn't done that bad. The Sox made their mistake earlier when they brought up Jeff Gray and then tried to send him back down only to see Seattle claim him. Gray was a good long relief option. Now getting back to Bruney I have to say I liked to see a Sox player with some passion and get angry over having the call go aganst us. He tried hs best to get that runner. It was better seeing that then watching Rios trot around sluffing it, which he did twice out there last night. Bruney admitted he let the team down. Done and over with Got it, thanks.

I (fortunately) missed the game lastnight. Can someone kindly recap what Bruney's unspeakable act was that got him ejected?

Its hilarious that the Guillens would actually publicly make such comments, considering they regularly make childish and baseless comments about people on twitter (which, ya know, is on the internet much like Soxtalk).... That being said, I think OzJr and Oney are probably still upset that Katy Perry said he has a tiny weewee.

Maybe the sox can hire Tony LaRussa's daughter instead?? We all know KennyGM loves the Raiders.... http://www.sportsgrindent.com/blog/mlb-man...fl-cheerleader/

They should let Rios pitch tomorrow to see if his ERA could potentially be higher than is BA

I think that Soxtalk.com needs more "Alex Rios sucks" threads.

I wonder if Oney realizes that Katy Perry, the second hottest woman on earth (second only to Jillian Michaels) is a Proactiv spokesperson? "Oney Guillen has a tiny Venezuelan penis."

My biggest "fan issue" with Rios isn't that he sucks. Fine... you Suck Alex Rios. What pisses me off, as a fan, is that he has so much talent. But, he wastes it. What a waste of talent.

Hi Soxtalk.com Admin team. Could I please change my display screen name from Anderson Cooper's Quivering Lip ... to ... Jillian Michaels' Abs Also, thanks for allowing us to request these and for procuring them. EDIT: I changed my mind on the new name and shortened it up a bit. Thanks again!
