Blum

I was listening not watching. Hawk said PK...

Count to 3. Take 3 Deep Breaths. Everything is Fine. 

My heart isn't beating.

Maybe Blum can start to play - nice and relaxed.

 

WAY TO f***ING HURL CONTRERAS

Mercy!

exactly, I cannot stand this managing by the gut. It will come back to haunt you sooner or later.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

They had it all the way, have a donut for yourself.

My heart isn't beating.

 

I'm just happy it was a one pitch AB. It would have been even more stressful if there were a few more pitches thrown.

Contreras :notworthy

Can I expect to see articles in every Chicago paper with Ozzie saying Contreras can start a playoff game now?

Hopefully this kinda allows Blum to settle in.

 

The Count too. That was a masterpiece.

This season Ozzie has consistently put players in a position to test them. Theonly thing I can think of is that Ozzie was testing Marte to see if he can get LH out in pressure situations to prepare him for the post-season.

 

Either that or KW still has a trade up his sleeve and they're show casing him.

Time to get Cotts and Jenks some time at the end of the game facing lefties. Jenks is sick against lefties, and Cotts has better control(I never thought in a million billion years I would ever say that) than Marte.

 

HUGE FOCKING WIN,

I said "This will be a sickening loss".... however it's only a sickening loss if we actually lose... Of course I guess I should be praising Ozzie's brilliant strategies huh?

We won this game in spite of Ozzie tonight, not because of him... He better put a better lineup on the field tomarrow... I don't ever want to see Timo hitting 5th again... I care too much about this team to want to see them lose games like this when they should of been in the bag... They won... and now I can breathe easier... but to say this wouldn't of been a sickening loss would mean you were in screaming denial...

Jose Contreras was masterful tonight!

 

This was his best outing since coming to the Sox bar none!

 

JOSE!

Ozzie is building himself a baseball team.

That was only count's 7th win of the year. Good to see him win a close game when he's deserved to win one too.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. He actually cracked a smile.

Yes - the Count deserved to win tonight - !!

 

CONTRERAS

EXACTLY what I was thinking.  He actually cracked a smile.

 

We need the same thing to happen to Crede.

 

I'd like to see Geoff start tomorrow.

73 wins

 

Ozzie is a GREAT manager. PERIOD. END OF STATEMENT.

 

Should Dustin come in earlier. Yes.

 

But for people to assume we will lose immmediately and call Ozzie a "stupid f***ing manager" is outregeous.

And here is where you said we'd lose.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yep... and guess what... I was still right...

It wasn't until Ozzie stopped being a dumbass and brought Hermy in that we actually won... If he'd of left Marte in we would of lost and it would of been a sickening loss...

 

But don't let silly things like details get in the way of your rant... I am hardly the most negative person on this board, i'm hardly the most reactionary...

I haven't been on this board much because of all of the people posting who do nothing but post stupid trade ideas that would screw up the team or people who acted like when I got upset when the manager was acting stupid or we just crapped our pants... Sometimes people have to vent...

 

Honestly I don't know why I bother to defend myself... because chances are i'm not going to be posting here that much for the next few weeks... I'll make the occasional post in the occasional thread... and when I post anything that isn't totally sugar and sunshine toward the Sox i'll get flamed like I was the most negative person to ever have a computer...

 

Believe it or not REAL SOX FANS DON'T ENJOY SEEING THEIR TEAM LOSE...

 

Well thats the end of my vent... i'm sick of arguing about this...

Great road win!

Your totally right... HE IS A GREAT MANAGER!!!

Thats exactly why I get so pissed when he does stupid things like this series...

 

The heart of the order was a joke... and Marte in the 9th... the same Marte with Hawkins disease...

Yikes...

 

Maybe I expect better because I know Ozzie is smarter then this...

Indians just scored 5 in the 9th to tie the game against KC. KC defense is making all sorts of errors.
