Can't but help think how perfect that episode would have been if Santos could have performed a miracle and won us that game 6-5. My wife knows very little about the front office shenanigans, but she did say after it was over "Ozzie is really full of himself".

BMac got run out of the clubhouse for associating with Anderson pretty quickly.

For some reason, Jon Rauch came to mind when I saw that. Wasn't he was traded just days after he stormed out of the clubhouse during the middle of a game? While it was a terrible thing for a rookie to do, I find it a bid odd they'd be so quick to get rid of him considering how highly-regarded he was at the time. I feel like he may of had some attitude problems.

That 05 World Series really built him up.

Yes, that happened to Rauch. But it happened in 2003, so it would have been before Ozzie's time in Chicago, so I ruled that out.

Best part of the show for me was probably the part that most people missed. The pitchers were doing fielding drills in ST and Peavy said to Buehrle and Danks that he thinks one day they are going to leave their wives/girlfriends for each other.

Swisher.

Any sites that have it posted?

Swisher.

But KW made it sound like they just sent that player home. They never sent Swisher home although I do agree they thought of him as a cancer, so if it was him, KW probably made it a little more dramatic than it really was, but I could have sworn I heard this story at Soxfest long before Swisher was a White Sox.

Rock, that part with Peavy and the lefty starters was great. After watching this show, I think we'll miss a lot of the leadership that Peavy provided.

What went on?

 

Peavy's a gamer. Can't deny that he's going balls out all the time.

Heads, it was more just Peavy's attitude and that out of all the pitchers, he seemed to be the most vocal ones.

Rauch was traded in '04 along with Gary Majewski to Montreal for Carl Everett, so that was during Ozzie's time.

I wonder who KW was talking about when he said Ozzie called him about a player and he told him to cut him without caring who it was.

 

Was thinking that too. It could be Cabrera?

Anyone got wind of the CSN showing time?

I liked it when they punked Randy Williams

 

I didn't think Randy Williams was punk'd - He was Michael Scott'd.

I am now 90% convinced that the whole KW/Ozzie fued was staged for this series. Who better to leak the story to than Cowley who completely overreacted just like a pawn in their game?

For those of you with Comcast, there is a rebroadcast on Comcast On Demand (Ch. 999). Rick Morrissey was right - if you follow the team, there isn't much to this this show. Interesting material and I'm glad the Sox got picked for this!

First thought after watching Episode 1:

 

Ken Williams & Phil Ivey : separated at birth

In the preview for next week's episode they show KW working. I think we have the most jacked GM in baseball, maybe Billy Beane would be in the competition. Go Kenny.

Anyone have any luck finding this online somewhere for us out of town/out of country folks?

Is there anywhere that you can watch past episodes?

I just watched the first episode and as a fan of the WHite Sox this show was phenomenal. Just really enjoyable. Interested in seeing the next episode. I definitely better understand why we have suhc a loose clubhouse.

to me i think the show would be better if it was an hour.

Some great insight about the draft on tonight's show. Sounds like KW was dead right on B. Loux and his injury issues. Sounds like with the first pick, out of the 6 possible players they were interested in, it was Grandal, Eibner, Workman, Loux, and Sale. KW was very interested in making Eibner a 2-way player.
