June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) This isn't a learning thing for Ozzie. You don't learn that you don't put in Walker with a 1 run lead. You don't learn that you don't take him out when he is having ZERO control and has 1st and 2nd or 3rd and no outs. That is common sense! Everyone on this message board is saying the same thing: Walker shouldn't have started the inning, or Walker should have been pulled when he let the first two guys get on base. If everyone on this message board is saying, why can';t it be common sense for Ozzie too??? Ozzie is just a complete and udder moron, and it's that simple. Kenny needs the perfect bullpen for Ozzie not to f*** us over like this. If we win today, that's what... all 3 games this series we would have won despite our manager handing the other team runs??? ++
June 2, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) i still can't get over this kevin walker decision......there's no possible reason for it. There's no way to get over it, it was completely stupid.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:21 AM) Title says it all. He's been unbearable this week. Complete garbage. Be careful, he might verbally attack you like he did to Jeff Brantley. It's getting to the point where I hate our manager on and off the field. I used to think I would never hate a manager more than Dusty....but Ozzie is about to pass him up.

June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) Ozzie likes the lefty-lefty stuff way to much. Especially when a lefty can't get a lefty out.

June 2, 200520 yr Author I think Murcie said it best earlier to me about the Walker move... "That was a Terry Bevington move."
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) Would you rather have the Cubs bullpen or ours? Right now, the Cubs.

If Ozzie pulls the "I'm the manager, go ahead and criticize" me line after the ballgame, I'm gonna snap. Attention Ozzie Guillen: YOU f***ED UP BIG TIME THIS WEEK. Let that sink in greenhorn. You, yes, you, are costing this team W's.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) Right now, the Cubs. So you'd rather have the likes of Joe Borowski and Ryan Dempster over Dustin Hermanson and Cliff Politte?
June 2, 200520 yr I think Oz saw that poll about how many wins he has gained/lost for the team and decided to make things right.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) Sad. Yes, it's sad that in the professional sport that is dictated the most by the coach/manager, we have a f***ing moron leading our team. Not only that, he's become a massive asshole off the field. Ozzie is becoming everything I used to hate about Dusty and the Cubs, where they had the "us against the world" philosophy.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) Holy s***, Addy pulled out the Blue Ribbon. I had to. That's about the only thing going right tonight. A round of PBR's on me. Drink em' if you got em'.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) So you'd rather have the likes of Joe Borowski and Ryan Dempster over Dustin Hermanson and Cliff Politte? No, but the set of relievers as a whole. If you haven't noticed, the Cubs bullpen has been lights out lately. Our bullpen continues to blow game after game. Hermanson has been great of course....yet Ozzie doesn't use him.

June 2, 200520 yr How many more is vizcaino gonna give up here? my guess... everytime he throws the ball

Michael Wuertz - 4.01 ERA Mike Remlinger - 4.97 ERA Ryan Dempster - 4.95 ERA As a WHOLE, Cubs relievers have won 11 games and lost 14.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:32 AM) That's exactly what I was thinking... wow what an overreaction. Pretty much explains most of this thread.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:32 AM) That's exactly what I was thinking... wow what an overreaction. Last time I looked, there were more than 2 relievers on a team.

And you can throw in all of the fire jobs that Hawkins did as well.
June 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) Pretty much explains most of this thread. Are you serious? You honestly think Ozzie isn't a terrible manager? I can't see how any smart baseball fan wouldn't think he's just god awful.
