September 15, 201114 yr Awesome. So if it's not Ozzie, Oney and that never-ending web of bulls***, or countless articles breaking down Adam Dunn's historical run of futility, we get Big League Stew havin' fun at our expense. lol. the 2011 season. I'll never forget! Edited September 15, 201114 yr by Jordan4life
September 15, 201114 yr You know what's a hell of a lot worse than being Verlander's b**** this season? Being Brad Penny's b****. Sox are 0-5 in games started by Penny this year.
September 15, 201114 yr I haven't listened to Rongey's post game show at all this season. Has he addressed the "one player doesn't make a difference" schtick he used last year with Kotsay and this year's DH dud? In his eyes would it make no difference whether Dunn had a good year or not since he's only one player?

September 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) I just hate when someone tries to insult my intelligence. The problem with Rongey is that he's never wrong, yet he's frequently wrong.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) The problem with Rongey is that he's never wrong, yet he's frequently wrong. Haha, exactly on both of these. The best thing for Rongey is probably that the team has fallen apart so hard in the last few weeks. If the Sox lost the division by 2 games, his bulls*** theory that no single player matters would have been blown up. Now that they'll lose by 15+, he can stick to his garbage.

I'm pretty sure if Adam Dunn OR Alex Rios actually hit the ball, they'd be a lot closer or leading the division right now. If both were... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt nuff' said

September 16, 201114 yr @SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman ozzie asking for extension is tantamount to adam dunn asking for 1. #chisox biggest 2011 underachiever. #worstmanagerofyear

September 16, 201114 yr Damn, I'm startin' to feel bad for Ozzie. I liked it better when it was just Sox fans that lambasted him. Now it's a world-wide epidemic. People in third-world countries are hating on Ozzie now. Yes, I used hyperbole. But you get the point.

You are so right. I forgot about that. That is key. When you see Ozzie and smile, that definitely means you have supporters and you should keep your job.

September 16, 201114 yr As if we need any more indictments of this team but... in his short time with the team Alejandro De Aza has the 4th highest oWAR among position players behind only Konerko , Quentin and Ramirez . Edited September 16, 201114 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

Not even our eternal optimists can't think of a reason Ozzie should still be managing, let alone get an extension. Your team needs to cut their losses and start fresh.

Greg says people in Lawrence think otherwise...even "sabes" people.

We could be the laughing stock in all of baseball. But there's teams with larger payrolls that suck even more, so that doesn't happen.

The Sox losing streak might hit double digits this time. Our team is dead and the Royals are on a mission to finish strong.

We could be the laughing stock of baseball, versus Kansas City having been the laughing stock for 20 plus years now.

But they have a great farm system that has yet transitioned them to a winning franchise. Do they have "We suck as baseball but at least we don't have a high payroll" t-shirts in KC.
