March 2, 200719 yr Note to our management. Top lip, bottom lip marry them together. I guess the one comment is that he believes Brian and Bmac were out partying is what he says. BTW it is now official that Ozzie doesnt like Brian. Its not just a theory.

I guess the one comment is that he believes Brian and Bmac were out partying is what he says. BTW it is now official that Ozzie doesnt like Brian. Its not just a theory. Why is that official? Maybe Ozzie meant that BMAC should have befriended some veterans to teach him more about the majors, maybe to give him some guidance. Why automatically does it always have to be so negative. It could have even been a joke between him and Brian. There are assumptions on both sides, and they are probably ALL wrong.

He said he only had Brian Anderson as a friend, he made the wrong friend. I have people around town. I know when they are out at the bars.

March 2, 200719 yr QUOTE(ptatc @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) The Sox as an organization have a responsibility to continue to be good not drop off the face of the Earth. Being short sighted to win every game at the expense progessive thinking is why clubs like the scrubbies are mired in defeat. Ozzie apparently (I didn't hear the interview) said that if McCarthy wasn't with the club last year we would've made the playoffs. There's no excuse for saying that. None at all. Putting it on one guy? That's a f***ing joke, you NEVER do that. And the hypocrisy is hilarious. Ozzie is the guy who continually trotted out Mackowiak in CF. Ozzie is the guy who continually trotted out Podsednik in LF, despite the fact that there were at least FOUR better starting options. Next year at SoxFest, someone needs to ask him where the Sox would've been had McCarthy not been on the 2005 roster. This is so f***ing ridiculous. I'm embarrassed by his stupid ass comments. QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) Getting a potential #1 for the next decade?? Pass me some of what you're smoking. Danks ain't a #1. Edited March 2, 200719 yr by CWSGuy406

This organization is a JOKE when players leave. Best player to ever don a White Sox uniform? Trash that asshole. Ironically enough, Guillen actaully didn't say a word there. The best young pitching prospect this team has drafted and developed since Mark Buehrle. Trash him. Why do they CONTINUALLY air the dirty laundry? "Brandon was a big part of our 2005 WS run, but we like the talent we're getting in return." Done. End of story. Guys ask about it? NO f***ING COMMENT.

It's great how things get taken. Ozzie was commenting on how McCarthy said the Sox were negative and had a negative clubhouse. Ozzie's reply was that he didn't get to know most of the team and that maybe it's hard to be very positive whyen he was pitching like crap. He could think of 5 situations where McCarthy blew games. If he hadn't blown those maybe we make the playoffs. granted he shouldn't lay it out there like that but McCarthystarted it all with bashing the Sox as being a negative team and too boring and Married. McCarthy is a smart guy it wouldn't surprise me if he bashed the Sox knowing how Ozzie would react. It's interesting how everyone enjoys busting on Ozzie but refuse to lay any blame on the players. If players suck Ozzie put them in a bad position. If the players do well, they did it despite Ozzie. He had abslutely nothing to do with showing confidence in them to run them out there to prove it.
March 2, 200719 yr From his interview on the Score BMac blames himself for not winning more, he went out at night but he was always prepared. He never meant any disrespect toward the Sox at all. He is happier being on a younger team rather than an older one. He was trying to be positive for his new situation. He talked to people in Chicago (sounded like Sox players) and told them he wasn't being negative. And the score online dropped out... Edited March 2, 200719 yr by G&T

March 2, 200719 yr End of interview Admits being irresponsible but changed his habits when the Sox asked him to slow down. He doesn't know why he and BA being friends is bad. He thinks being traded is a baseball move, all of this is hindsight. Edited March 2, 200719 yr by G&T

He didn't say the clubhouse was negative, he said guys in the clubhouse weren't his age and weren't single. He said the Sox coaching was focusing on the negative, as in, 'Don't do this', and he didn't react well to that sort of coaching. It's not bashing the club, but, hey, the word "negative" was there. Great how things get taken.

What does this have to do with blame? Ozzie is being a dumbass, AGAIN, and I'm calling him on it. ----------------------- McCarthy handles his Score interview with 100% class. B-Mac Then everyone will rip Ozzie or KW for not telling the truth or hiding everything from everybody. We want everyone to just tell the truth except when we don't like it. People would rip Ozzie and Kenny for choosing the high road, for choosing not to air "dirty" laundry (although in this case, it seems the dirty laundry is coming from the manager's mouth)?

That's your right but I don't blame Ozzie for replying to McCarthy bashing Ozzie's team.
