Mr. Showtime

It wouldn't shock me if he got some write in votes from some of these idiots out there.

Any fans who f up the voting like that can eat s***. Thank you.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he went on the DL soon. It's no secret that he's not 100%.

I was wondering when it would, either way, it's good that HSC told us.

Maybe, but Manuel never really ran out much before Williams anyway. He'll lose it at certain times though as we've seen in the past. Hurry up and announce it!!!!

That's what I was wondering. Sure the Sox could bring him up but put him where?

Unless I missed it, Rogers really didn't say where he would play Miles. Man, I want this Williams thing to hit the press now. I can't stand the wait, luckily I have to go to bed now so I get up for work.

Listless Sox need jolt in a hurry Most of the article is about Manuel going, and shaking up the lineup by adding Borchard or Miles.

Well, nothing is *official* yet, but Michelle is good with this so I believe it. This move turns up the heat on Manuel in my opinion.

See here's the key. If you can Manuel and still have Williams, Kenny is still trying to be the freaking manager. Manuel will now sink or swim on his own.

I'm not expecting a huge turn around. But I think we will see the players kinda rally around Manuel.

Oh hell yeah!!!

Ward's an ass to. Bring back Joshua or Greg Walker. Williams would mess with Backman to, this guy is a control freak. He should've just named himself manager. Einhorn to go? OK.

Exactly. If the team continues to suck it up, then Manuel has to go.

Eddie is Eddie Einhorn. He owns the team with Reinsdorf. In the 80's he was around a lot more. Then Reinsdorf became the defacto mouthpiece of the organization.

That would be interesting to see. Hopefully he'd can Ward.

Schu can stick to smoking and playing golf for the Cubs.

Because that's not his job. You don't step on the nuts of you're manager. Makes him look weak to the boys in the clubhouse. If he didn't feel Manuel was getting the job done, then he should've battled to get him fired. You don't try and run the team yourself. I don't think anyone here is on the Manuel for manager of the year wagon. He's not a great manager but when the GM is running the team from behind the scenes he's not the manager is he? Now Manuel will have to float by himself. With Williams out of the picture, if he doesn't get this team turned around, he'll be out of here.

I think Eddie can take him down. I like this move, but I still want Ward gone. I'll be interested to see who they name GM for the time being. Any ideas on who that would be HSC?

What a b****. After he calls the players b****es and mf'ers. To steal a line from Maury "f*** Him"! He traded away most of the guys who would talk. Guys like Foulke and Durham. Ah want to hear him get torn apart.

What? Williams threatened to sue? For what? I'm sure Frank will have some thoughts to share

And all this goes down after the high praise from Billy Beane.

Interesting. I wonder how the Sox will spin this. If he just steps down as GM and goes back to scouting or whatever, the media will question it like they did with Krause. Either way this is good news to hear. Hopefully the next GM won't be an ass.

If he leaves the organization completely will all of the behind the scenes stuff come out in the press?

That sounds closer to the truth. Good thing I won't have to stay up and watch this garbage since we know how it'll shake down.
