I hope this isn't true:

Guillen said Nix ''is going to play second base when a lefty is coming up. Sunday we have a lefty. I like the way he plays, and he does a lot of things to help us. Hopefully, he's healthy.''

I hope this isn't true:

Damnit, Ozzie! Has he even looked at Getz's minor league splits?

Ozzie is not a stats guy. IMO (and I can give two s***s what Hawk says) he is a micromanager.

It isn't even about stats, anyone who's been watching the Sox over the past 2 months (dating back to last September) knows that Chris Getz has had no trouble handling left handed pitching in his short time in the majors. I can't wait until he's 30 years old and a strict platoon player because his f***ing manager stunted his growth early in his career.

 

Can't say I didn't see this coming though.

 

Oh and after last night, his career line vs lefties is looking like this:

 

2/3 vs Brian Tallet (who shut us down)

0/0 vs Craig Breslow (HBP)

0/1 vs Ron Mahay

0/1 vs Dan Meyer (K)

0/1 vs Bill Murphy

1/1 vs Josh Newman (RBI)

0/0 vs Jaimie Walker (RBI SF)

1/1 vs Derek Holland (RBI 3B)

0/1 vs C.J. Wilson

-------------------

4/9 (.444) w/ 3 RBI, 3B, HBP, K

Why would Ozzie believe that Nix is better offensively vs. lefties than Getz when Nix is 0-17 w/ three walks against lefties in his extremely short MLB career.

Speaking of Podsednik, Kalapse: I didn't think you're one of the fans, whats the reason for the sig/banner ?

Irony mostly. That and peer pressure.

Because Ozzie is often a jackass.
