Ballgame. I hope a lot of careers are ended tonight.

 

I think Jerry Reinsdork is TRYING

to lose fans. Fortinately for him he's probably doing a great job, haha

Is anybody else laughing right now? because I am. Its gotten to that point

I'm done with this game. Seriously, our efforts are pathetic against the Twins. But I wish I had the guts to just quit on this team entirely until Ozzie was fired and a whole load of other problems sorted out. Sadly, I know I'll be back here on my couch with my computer on my lap tomorrow, just waiting to be punched in the brain once more.

Wish there was a webcam on Kenny on that one...

He's out getting JR's dry cleaning. He'll probably run into Cowley picking up Oney's.

that was awesome.

 

6-27 in our last 33 against the twins.

 

They might as well be on the Twins payroll for the contributions they've made to that franchise.

See ya Ozzie. That should be it for him

 

 

He's too busy on Monday and Tuesday with "Ozzie Camp" at Bulls/Sox Academy. $225 bucks a pop for attendees.

 

He can teach them how to retain a managerial job even when you're an abysmal 7-30 against your main rival.

Don't piss on my hopes and dreams, man. With this team, they're all I got!

5-13 last year had the chuckling start for me

No one is getting fired after this game if we lose. It'll be the same old s***, no accountability. We might as well be called the Chicago Good Ol' Boys.

So he let Gavin face a lefty and brought in his LOOGY to face a righty. Try defending that Rongey

 

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a story about a blow up with Kenny and Ozzie after the game. Inexcusable. But on the other hand...Kenny signed Ohman. Eff 'em both...

Ahhhhhhh, some.Soxtalkers here actually think we have chance vs the Twins...how cute!

I'm just tuning in. I've been sitting all night. So please Shack, I don't want to hear that I just show up when we're losing. I called the Ohman facing a righhanded hitter from the beginning. Ozzie is terrible and should be banished very soon.

Let's score 4 in the bottom of the 4th and retake the lead!

pound that sinker into the ground, boys

just get Dunn up again. The man's on fire.

DP coming in t-minus 10, 9, 8 ...

Blah blah blah it will be. We can't use Jesse Crain at that point in the game and Hector Santiago was overextended the previous game.

 

It's a 162 game season, you can't use Crain/Sale/Thornton/Santos in every game. You have to be able to trust your relievers, so on, so forth.

 

It's kind of ironic that Ozzie valued Brian Bruney "too much" to waste him in the early innings when that will probably end up being the turning point of the game.

 

Forgot about Bruney.

Hmmm, like The Producers, but how would that work with baseball?

Ohman has a .204/.278/.327 line against lefties. Ohman has done what he was brought here to do. The problem is that Ozzie does not know how to manage a pitching staff, let alone a bullpen.

are you havin a laugh??

AJ literally has no f***ing clue how to pitch these hitters

Oh, and Gavin Floyd can go. He peaked in '08 and has regressed ever since then.

Is there a coherent thought in this post? Did you just contradict yourself half way through?

 

Ozzie should have either made the move one batter earlier or just left Gavin in. Right handed hitters bat .298 on Ohman on the season. He would've been better off sticking with Floyd or a batting tee.

 

 

CLE was trailing 9-3.

 

Now it's 9-4 with the bases loaded and NO OUTS in the bottom of the 8th.

No, there's not.

 

It was supposed to be Chris Rongey's future predicted response in the post-game to complaints Ozzie made the wrong moves with Floyd and the bullpen.

 

Guess I did a good job.

 

 

By the way, it would be nice if our leadoff hitter could actually steal a base when we need to get a runner into scoring position and pick up a run at a time to get back into this game.
