Fathom: where did you see the footage you saw about the yelling?

Soriano coming to bat...

That was a horrible bunt, but it got the job done.

Should Ozzie be fired for berating Jon? Of course not. But it certainly should be added to the list of Ozzie's indiscretions this season.

 

This isn't a reliever called up from Charlotte, this is a member of your starting pitching who has been very consistent for you as of late. Do you want to get him tossed - suspended? Plus, you are asking him to completely change his delivery just to make a point - a pointless one at that. Ozzie's job is to make his players look good, not the other way around.

And look what happens when you execute, another run scored!!

Very nice. I'll take it however we can get it right now.

GOOOOOOOOOCH!!!!!

yessssss!!!!!!!!!!

Holy cow...a clutch hit!

G O O C H!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooch

All of you that are tired with Ozzie better be willing to eat your crow later in the year.

Wins and Losses don't matter to me when it comes to this...this is something greater that is inexucseable in the baseball world.

 

I don't care if we won 3 world series, these type of antics should not be tolerated.

They showed it on Comcast.

Greg, not going to get in race discussion so that post was deleted. Ross didn't have the best bunt, but it got the job done. For a second I was thinking oh crap.

 

I was kidding, for what it's worth.

 

Vazquez wasn't asked to plunk because he was a starter and the warning had already been given. Montero? I don't know. Tracey was a minor leaguer about to leave, anyway, and Garland was asked to do it because no warning'd yet been given.

Guchi smacked a few that just missed it yesterday to RF and this time he got enough on it to make it 4-0 Good Guys.

Rally yap!

Holy cow...a clutch HR!

i fixed it for you

 

Alright Jon this is your game, GIT R DONE!!!!

or how about Garcia to start the game yesterday. Ozzie had said he'd hit their guys if the Rangers hit one of ours, and Pods had been hit in the 9th inning before. In no way was I trying to start a race discussion.

I know, I didn't, either, I was just joking about.

 

I was surprised that Ozzie didn't ask Freddy to do it, as Freddy's always been good about hitting people (I remember when he got Derek Lee right in the shoulder blades), but maybe Ozzie just thinks Garcia, more than any other pitcher on our team, doesn't need more baserunners!

Detroit beats Oakland 8-4.

 

Esteban Loaiza gets rocked early.

Don't worry about it fella's, I just wanted to clean it up as opposed to leave it out and see the fireworks.

Definitely. The manager who led the team to its first World Series title since 1917 should get removed for yelling at a pitcher who can't complete a simple order.

 

I am sorry. This is NOT a get out of jail free card. Yes, he led us to it. Yes, we are all appreciative of what he did for the team to get them there...

 

That being said, it does not give him the right to elevate his level of jack-ass-ness in terms of his managing. NO PLAYER should EVER have to go through what Tracey went through and what we saw him do to Garland today IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA and IN PUBLIC. If he wants to let them have it in the clubhouse one on one, fine. But this egomania has got to stop, because its wearing thin. I don't care if they make a lot of money and that they should just "follow orders." Put yourself in their shoes. If your boss yelled and made a fool out of you in front of the whole company and a bunch of people who happen to be standing around watching, how would you feel?

 

His antics anymore are beyond unprofessional and it needs to stop. This whole schtick is getting very very old.

I really like these Uni's, wouldnt mind seeing them more often

Yep, 6 in the first. Leadoff man out for the Rangers
