July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) We all heard about what Gammons said today about Oz being fired during the break. Here are 2 tweets from Cowley just now: It's not news that everytime LaRussa's contract was up Reinsdorf was always reaching out to LaRussa.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Just put Viceido in as manager and then he can make de focking lineups. How about making Walker the manager and they would have to get a new hitting coach.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 11:36 PM) In regard to the original post can someone tell me what did Gammons say? Ozzie was going to be fired.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 07:41 AM) Please fire him. If we lose Sunday, I'd say he'll be fired. It'll be losing 2 of 3 to KC and 3 of 4 to Minnie with more Central games on the horizon. With Ozzie going to Florida next year anyway, Jerry won't feel too guilty I wouldn't think as Oz can be a color commentator if he wishes the rest of this year then sign a multi year deal in Florida where he'll be very very happy.
July 10, 201114 yr @Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Lots of rumors swirling about managerial change with the White Sox, but high-ranking source says change with Ozzie not being considered. 10 hours ago via web

July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) So, a free agent manager gets a call from Williams, and he then calls Guillen to let him know? I'm not buying. There's no way that is true, because Ozzie would already have tweeted and lost his s*** in an interview by now if he knew he was out the door.

Who knows, maybe Ozzie threatened or offered or was thinking about quitting as he has threatened before.

July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) Thanks for ruining my Sunday. I'd be happy if they launched Ozzie now, but the bigger picture is this team isn't going to make the playoffs either way. I just want Kenny gone at the end of the season, and the new GM should be able to pick his manager.

Don't stop short Greg. Oz will move to Florida where he will become manager of the Marlins. From here on Oz will live the greatest life ever. He will win the lotto, buy Tiger's mansion and travel the world in harmony. This is all after he wins multiple championships and cements his spot in cooperstown as the greatest manager ever. The whole white sox organization will crash and burn without him, of course.

July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:47 AM) The 2004 Astros responded after changing managers mid-season by making the playoffs. The 2011 Red Sox and Twins responded without changing managers.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) The 2011 Red Sox and Twins responded without changing managers. They also have good organizations that play fundamentally sound baseball.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) The 2011 Red Sox and Twins responded without changing managers. The 2011 Twins still have a worse record than the White Sox.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) The 2011 Twins still have a worse record than the White Sox. For now.

Cowley tweets his stuff, whether its true or not, Oney hasn't said anything. Makes me think Ozzie isn't too upset about this if it is true. Oney did pop off Flowers was being called up because KW traded for him, thought it should be Lucy or better yet, the Sox should get Ivan Rodriquez.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) The 2011 Red Sox and Twins responded without changing managers. First, the Twins are still seven games out and eight games under, they haven't responded. They have just played better. Responded would be in first place, and they aren't even close to that yet. The Red Sox have the third highest payroll in baseball, and it was the first 12 games of the year they really shat.
July 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) I wonder of Ozzeroo has managed his last game in a White Sox uniform... Not a chance...financial implications wouldn't allow this to happen even if Jerry wanted to do so.
