fathom Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 QUOTE(rangercal @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Ozzie Guillen , World Series Champion. Maybe you might want to go back and look at who was the first poster to congratulate Ozzie when the Sox made the playoffs. I disagreed with a lot of his decisions this season, but there's no possible way you can argue with the final result. Does it mean he was right with every decision he made? HELL NO! However, he'll forever be a legend in this town, and I actually think it would be bad for the franchise if he retired now like he said he would (which we all know he won't).

I remember you were happy to just make the playoffs. But we won it all. Ozzie said it best, it was not his dream, it was his goal. Maybe Ozzie does not make all the right decisions, but, he got the ultimate results. Like I said during the hardest days in aug/sept , I would want no other manager for this team.

Like I said during the hardest days in aug/sept , I would want no other manager for this team. There were two reasons I just wanted to make the playoffs: First, I felt that if this team didn't make it and choked away the huge lead, it would have set back the franchise for a few years. Second, I thought that if this team made the playoffs, you never know what can happen and maybe this team can make a run. The only time I really criticized Ozzie during the World Series was when he brought Hermanson in, instead of Jenks. Do I still think it was the wrong decision? Yes I do. Does it matter now? NO!
