September 20, 200520 yr First off, he brings in Damaso Marte to protect a lead? Is this the same guy that quit on the team just over a week or so ago? Please explain this to me, someone. Second, after Ozuna gives us another chance, he lets Jermaine Dye hit when we needed to get the runner to 3rd. Where are Harris or Timo to lay down the bunt? Then we need to hold a one run defecit and we bring in Hermanson? Where the hell is Politte? Ozzie, thanks for helping out to piss the season away. When Eric Wedge wins AL Manager of the year, we'll all know why. You'll never be mistaken for a genius. In fact you are a moron. You've proved it time and time again.
September 20, 200520 yr I am blaming ozzie. We had at last two better options than vizcaino... followed by marte. One would have been to let cotts got for a second inning of work... two would be to bring in politte who has bene ridiculously good against both righties and lefties ( much like ozzie). After this season he needs to take a look at three year splits and the splits from this past year for everyone on this team. He needs to look them over daily why he is at it so maybe it gets etched into his brain. I just wish we wer lucky enough to not have to deal with him next season. I know someone is gonna say '' well you have to blame the players sometimes to''. Well maybe if he did not set-up his own players to fail as often i would. Edited September 20, 200520 yr by qwerty

Actually he had dye offer at the first pitch with a bunt attempt and fell behind 0-1. If you plain on moving the run over either let him hit it to the right side from the first pitch of the at-bat or bring in someone that has gotten down a sacrafice within the last four years.

If he was going to bunt, he should have bunted until he had 2 strikes. Dye can't bunt and we all know it. That was a complete joke.

One would have been to let cotts got for a second inning of work... I was actually thinking that same thing. I think Oz gets hung up on the lefty/righty thing too often. Cotts looked good. Why take him out?
September 20, 200520 yr Ozzie, congrats on blowing. You are the worst f***ing manager in this league, without a doubt.

September 20, 200520 yr WE SUCK. IT'S A TEAM EFFORT We will be lucky if we win a game against the indians even though we should have won today. They will have the lead by Saturday. i'm out. Edited September 20, 200520 yr by Ozzie Montana
September 20, 200520 yr 100% agreement on Marte. Ed Farmer sounds like he feels the same way. When he brought Marte in for the first time since the incident, Farmer said something along the lines of, "Supposedly Marte apologized to the team but whatever." I'm even pissed at Jenks for not throwing his bender to Boone. Who gives a s*** if the previous one is in the dirt, than throw it for a strike.
September 20, 200520 yr Why didnt he use Politte instead of Jenks in the eighth? He hasn't pitched in days.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Why didnt he use Politte instead of Jenks in the eighth? He hasn't pitched in days. I thought Politte would have the entire 8th personally. He is tough on lefties as he is on righties. Marte has no place on this team anymore. Ozzie forgave him way to easily.
September 20, 200520 yr What did Cliff Politte do that Viz has done better? What did Cotts do that Marte has done better? I'm sorry, but I'm sick of some of the s*** I see going on with Ozzie.
September 20, 200520 yr OZZIE- THE RIGHTY AND LEFTY MATCHUPS AREN'T WORTH ALL THESE LOSSES!!!!!!!! get it in your f***ing head.. jesus.. relief pitchers are supposed to be able to pitch to both sides of the plate.. they are only in for what 1/3 of an inning?? COME ON!
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) I am blaming ozzie. Is there anything new there? As far as I can tell, you always blame Ozzie.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) Is there anything new there? As far as I can tell, you always blame Ozzie. the players don't decide to bring themselves into the games.. sorry, you've got to blame the manager for this
September 20, 200520 yr I'm pretty sure this was the 12th game the Sox have lost when leading going into the 7th inning. With the success so many of our guys in the pen have had this year, that number is way too f***ing high.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 03:51 AM) Is there anything new there? As far as I can tell, you always blame Ozzie. SOMEONE HAS TO BE f***ING BLAMED FOR THIS COLLAPSE!!!
September 20, 200520 yr Jenks is a two pitch pitcher and after the first curve he threw he stuck to the heater and he was sitting on it. We should have gone with Politte in the 8th. Plus Marte has pitched 3 straight days now.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(wsox08 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) the players don't decide to bring themselves into the games.. sorry, you've got to blame the manager for this I blame the players just as much as Ozzie. Is it Ozzie's fault that Marte can't throw strikes? Is it Ozzie's fault that Jenks gave Boone a perfect pitch to hit? Yes, Ozzie could have managed the matchups better, but its the pitchers fault just as much as his.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Is there anything new there? As far as I can tell, you always blame Ozzie. No. 90% of the time i blame ozzie. I am also not a second guesser. When i see something wrong i state it in the game thread while it is happening or before hand. Ozzie has lost us a number of games this season. He and allan trammel are the two worst in game managers currently in the major leagues.
September 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) SOMEONE HAS TO BE f***ING BLAMED FOR THIS COLLAPSE!!! So blame the players for playing horribly. Again, I understand that Ozzie is partly to blame, but he doesnt deserve all of it.
September 20, 200520 yr It couldn't have been set up any f***ing easier. Top of the 7th, tie ballgame. Cotts, Politte, Jenks. How f***ing difficult can it possibly be, Ozzie? The cle announcers were just baffled by Oz's management, they didn't know what the f*** he was doing. They said, "well, he essentially just used 4 pitchers to get 4 outs, all so that Neal Cotts didn't face Peralta". I was really glad to hear this, because I was wondering if I was that clueless when it came to baseball by wondering what in the f*** Ozzie was doing. VIZ and MARTE....in a head-to-head game with the team right on your ass????????? f***in' a man. f***in' a.
