Mr. Showtime Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I hate this. Once Kenny is confirmed gone, I wont root for this team any longer until Manuel is gone as well. Ill be here and posting but I wont root for the Sox. I really wouldnt care if they lost like ten in a row just to see Manuel get the can. Lets see him free manage. Hell screw up and finally JR will have enough evidence to fire him. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I don't check the boards for about an hour and s*** hits the fan..... Â Well, i want to see JM manage a team by himself...i don't know how much to jump on Manuel if all these damn moves are actually Williams.

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I may have to retract my Anti-JM statements if Kenny was the puppetmaster this whole time. They could make a movie about this called Being Jerry Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fainter Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 The only thing missing is the obligatory sex. Then it would be a great movie. HSC, you should get the movie rights.

cwsox Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 This move turns up the heat on Manuel in my opinion. Which is as it should be - let JM manage and succeed or fail without the Cell Phone King interfering in every move - Â I think it is great that in a choice between the GM and manager, KW and EE chose the manager - that will allow JM all he needs, whoever the new GM is, to sink or swim on his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â i hope he gets s***canned so the whole story comes out...there has to be so much more than what we have...im sure some players went to EE and said.DO SOMETHING!!!

CubKilla Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Just fire Manuel, for the love of God please. Williams, Manuel, and Ward all need to go IMHO..... but I'll take the architect of the last 2 seasons and this first month disasters as consolation at this point.

Chisoxfn Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 interim GM???....how about roland hemond??? We still have Fontaine in our organization right? Supposedly he's supposed to be an awesome mind. I want KW sticking around the organization though, back to his minor league duties. The guy is sharp, I know that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He built a good farm system - and he might have been the GM we hoped for if he hadn't of turned into an anal retentive control freak - maybe he was too young for the job, hasn't grown up yet - if he goes back to working the minors, fine by me - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Im so mad! KW did nothing to deserve this. He was simply trying to do the job of someone who wasnt doing it. Is there anything so wrong with that? We should boycott until Manuel is fired. And hsc, how can you support this guy? Hes done nothing. He never steals or bunts, he just sits there and relies ont he bomb. What has he done to make you so comfortable with him? Kind of hard to bunt and steal when it seems we are always looking at a 5-0 deficit after the 2nd or 3rd inning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So IF the Sox won the World Series under Manuel, you still won't root for the Sox? I guess you'll be waiting for the fall the next still hoping he'll get fired, huh?

Just a feeling I got from hearing him speak..... like he's sort of out-of-touch with today's professional athlete. Â Wasn't there a certain ex-basketball GM close to JR that was rumored, at one point, to be contemplating a move from GM'ing basketball to GM'ing baseball ? And I'm not talking about Michael Jordan either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny should have gotten the job before. From my understanding, Danny was more Schueler's guy where KW was Reinsdorf's guy.  Apparently, KW always hung out in JR's suite while Danny watched and evaluated from Schu's.  I have spoken with Danny a few times since he became the Dodgers GM and other than having less time, he has not changed one bit.  On a different but similar note, KW has always alienated people. From contract negotiations to dealings in general, KW is widely known as "not being a people person". I do know that back when the Sox drafted Kip Wells, Kip was ready to go back to school because he and his family had been turned off so bad by KW. Danny Evans came in and smoothed things over and got the deal done. Kip's dad told me that there was no way they were signing with the Sox if Danny didn't get involved. This is only one example of many stories I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
