What does it say? Twitter, Fecebook, Myspace, youtube, hulu.com, etc. are blocked in CHINA by the "GREAT FIREWALL."

One month

 

Nothing new here really. It is about 60 games at that point just like he has said in the past. This is common place for nearly every GM, even the Pirates,Royals, etc, they start dumping off around then too.

Basically that he will give this team another month and then reevaluate.

Basically play better or else. Nothing earth shattering.

Kenny is giving the team a month. Whether this means a month til wild salary dumping, that is unclear.

 

Maybe we'll see if AJ's developed trade value through multiple years of (fairly) incident free play and high OBP for a catcher.

Another non story. I really don't think KW needs another month to conclude he needs more talent. I think he may now regret calling it an offseason after he acquired a leadoff man who can't get on base much and a third baseman who doesn't hit or field all that well, and thinking his piss poor 2009 offense was poised for a turnaround.

Developed trade value? I don't think a 4-game stretch in which he recorded 6 hits to raise his average to .192 did much for his trade value.

As long as the ultimatum isn't directed at "fair weather fans" for not supporting this team, attendance issues (we'll be #22 after this series in MLB), having to pay the electricity bill somehow, only being able to spend 50 cents, etc., then it's cool...but he dareth not engage mano a mano against loyal White Sox fans for NOT supporting the piss-poor miasma of an organization he's down-graded us to like a bad credit default swap that's worth pennies on the dollar.

Too funny...TWO Sox fans both using the exact, particular phrase "piss poor" to describe the Sox.

It could be worse. We could have been Royals fans.

I thought Fecebook was better

ultrasurf.com

There are ways around it, VPN (virtual private network), proxies, hiding your IPS address anonymously...but i an in a public internet cafe in Xi'an (home of Terra Cotta Warriors), so no such option

 

Technically, Fecesbook would be the right phrase, but it was just a TYPO, lol.

There's an ultimatum every year.

There was an ultimatum to Juan Pierre that lasted less than a week.

 

An ultimatum every season about execution/fundamentals/advancing runners/bunting/scoring runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs, etc. That renewed "Ozzie/Cora boot camp" in mid-season probably stays with the team as long as any Ozzie ultimatum.

I don't know why people are reading "ultimatum" into this.

 

He said he's going to evaluate things in a month.

 

Every year he says you have to wait til June to see what you've got.

 

Sounds like he's telling people worried about the team to lighten up for a month to me.

 

 

Usually an ultimatum contains a threat and an "or else." I don't see that here.

Here's a thought guys, how bout we leave my fact-deficient rumor-mongering to go unchecked

When do Sox fans get to give Kenny Williams the ultimatum??

 

:angry:

Yeah, everybody knows Sox fans know better how to run a team than KW.

They don't, but a lot of baseball executives do, which is a problem.

That's a great defense of him. His record isn't though. If you make the safe assumption this year is going to end after 162, that's 8 seasons of 10 under him not in the playoffs, and the 9th saw us win a whopping 1 playoff game after narrowly taking a bad division. (And yes, I know he found a great batch of smoke and mirrors in 2005, I enjoyed it as much as everybody else. It's kept him and Ozzie employed for quite a while now.)
