May 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 3, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) Maybe. I dunno. http://twitter.com/Cst_Sox 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.

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.
May 3, 201015 yr 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.

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.
May 3, 201015 yr 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.

May 3, 201015 yr 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.

May 4, 201015 yr QUOTE (G&T @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:09 PM) 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.
May 4, 201015 yr 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.
May 4, 201015 yr Author Here's a thought guys, how bout we leave my fact-deficient rumor-mongering to go unchecked
May 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (soxfan72 @ May 10, 2010 -> 11:53 PM) When do Sox fans get to give Kenny Williams the ultimatum?? Yeah, everybody knows Sox fans know better how to run a team than KW.
May 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 11, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) 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.
May 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 11, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) They don't, but a lot of baseball executives do, which is a problem. Yeah, not really.
May 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 11, 2010 -> 12:14 AM) Yeah, not really. 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.)
