QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) If he blasted the fans directly ... this could be the one where Jerry fires him immediately. Right? I don't know why in Oz's tenure here he was against change. Most teams make changes to spark the club at the trade deadline or all star break. For some reason he doesn't like that. I can't remember, but did all the teams he played on pretty much stand pat during the season?? That's one part of his makeup I don't understand. Maybe in his later years as a player he was worried the Sox might acquire some SS better than him for the second half or something. I guess in his mind the only place we could have played Viciedo was left because there's 14 million reasons to play Dunn at DH. And Oz loves Juan so he couldn't play Dayan in left. He should blast KW instead of the fans. KW didn't need to acquire Juan in the first place if Dayan was ML ready this season. We coulda put somebody else in left last year, some hack like Milledge or Jones while waiting for Dayan to be ready. I dont see how this one could get him fired.There have been some bad ones that I thought for sure he would get fired for but hasnt.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 06:47 PM) I wanna hear it. It should be a wild final month of quotes from Oz as he goes out like a lion. Next year, nobody's gonna care what he has to say managing in sunny, nobody-cares-bout-baseball state of Florida. Im sure itll be on the score in a little bit. Basically he doesnt give a **** about what we have to say(asked about Viciedo).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) Is he blasting Dayan? Great win today. Had we made Viciedo a starter before the allstar break when we should have, we might be in first place. I see Becks got 2 hits. Were they ropes? Gotta dream he can return to the old Becks. And Floyd is now 12-10. Not bad. I know it won't happen, but can the Sox finally have one month of utter dominance? They've sucked almost every month this season. How bout a 25-5 September. He is blasting the people who thought he should have been up here 2 months ago. You know basically the same rant he had when people were questioning him for the Thome decision.

Ozzie is going off again....I cant stand this guy

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) Gotta love this one: @scottmerkin My point was Q should have been moved near the deadline, and Dunn a bench player. But ur GM didn't have balls for that. Clearly Kenny's fault for not benching Dunn. Dude is just insane. Its hard to believe he is employed.

Everyone watching the Joe Cowley tirade on twitter? Its rather amusing

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) Yup, he was a victim of the KW-Ozzie tugowar!!!!!!!!!!!! I think if Kenny would of had his way Viciedo would have been up here 2 months ago. But Ozzie and his infinite wisdom thought that was a bad idea.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) I'm glad they didn't call him up earlier. He is 2 ABs in and has 1 less hit vs. LHP than Dunn has all year. But we couldnt find a place to play him lol

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) You know Ozzie is furious right now. Dayan raking this last month would make him look even stupider. And that's damn near impossible. I just cant wait until Ozzie is taking the plane to Florida.

De Aza deserves the bench after playing so well

Countdown until Ozzie's rant about not having a place to play him

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) I wouldn't trade either one of those guys for him, let alone both. But like I said there is nothing to this. Which is why I said is he worth that compensation draft pick wise. Can I ask how you know the last part?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) Of course that is what they want The reality is that if he is going to be a Type A, he is worth a first round draft picks worth of compensation. lol I know people's prices on their own players is always sky high like that. But would u pay that for Jason?(draft picks)

Say we do trade for him. What would be the package? Seems like Twin fans want Tyler Flowers and Chris Sale(No way).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) post #300 Cool thanks for the reply

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) I believe Soxfest said that Aha my bad then. I was trying to read through the Thome thread to find it but couldnt.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) we dont want him Werent you the one who said the Angels got him?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Tyler Flowers has already thrown out half as many baserunners as A.J. Pierzynski, in one-eighth of the innings. Thanks Jim Margalus

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Give me Viciedo over Thome any day. And wow, Beckham with literally the same exact pop up in both at bats. Viciedo would be nice to. But Ill take any sort of change at this point. Adam Dunn is just bad. I have to turn away when he walks up to bat.

Welp atleast maybe Jim Thome will be here to provide me with something to watch.

From what ive read it does appear we put in a claim for Thome. So if the Twins dont intend to release him he is playing in Minnesota or Chicago. Please tell me if I missed something here. But that tweet was only an hour ago. I wasnt checking the news when people were reporting the stuff about Cleveland working out a trade for Thome and Kubel going somewhere else. So if there is a definitive source out there with that information please correct me because as I said I wasnt available at the time this info was released.

hoynsie paul hoynes #Indians put in a claim on Jim Thome on Wednesday. The White Sox may have as well. from twitter

So Im looking at rotoworld and it talks about Cleveland for sure putting in a claim on Jim. But the source that they use says that the White Sox may have put in a claim for Thome as well.

Im guessing Kubel would be a block and we may actually get Thome

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) Sox are going to be damned if they'll let anyone get to the Tigers. I actually wouldnt mind having Kubel
