August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) We have a LOT of ego in the organization that is really to stubborn to give up any of their power/ideals. So let me get this straight.... - terribly overpriced roster - sub .500 team in a terrible division - awful divisional record - nonexistent depth in the minors - several untradeable albatross contracts - GM and manager that don't get along - manager's family members disrupting the club house via social media - consistent blowouts in media between ex players and management - fans no longer coming out Tell me again why there have been no changes in the front office?!??!
August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) Maggs, Dye, Frank, Jenks, Teahen....does anyone leave this organization quietly? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we have had more than 5 player changes over the past 8 years. So yeah, I think SOME of them do leave quietly.

August 1, 201114 yr Teahen, you brilliant man. I wish he hadn't sucked, cause he's a cool guy by all accounts. And Oney works for the f***ing Sun Times? Who you know I guess. But who the f*** did Cowley know?
August 1, 201114 yr Oney telling Teahen to choose his battles wisely...the f***ing cockiness of that asshole is unbelievable. I honestly wish nothing but the absolute worst for him.

It's easy to keep a job that no one holds you accountable for. JR/KW/Ozzie has a list of excuses for each one of those problems.
August 1, 201114 yr Don't forget O-Cab, Swisher and Javy...not to mention Daniel Hudson's not-so-veiled shots at the Sox. Edited August 1, 201114 yr by caulfield12
August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Too bad Ozzie didn't have the balls to say "Hey Alex, how about you change your stance, or you'll never see the field again? Now get to work." QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) And the best part is that Teahen is 1000000000000% correct. Kudos to Mark. 1.) Yeah, right. Nobody tells these millionaire players what to do. What dream world are u living in? 2.) Mark Teahen is a horrible horrible baseball player. He is abysmal.
August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 01:05 PM) I now love Mark Teahen. This. That's all it took.
August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) 2.) Mark Teahen is a horrible horrible baseball player. He is abysmal. I fail to understand what this has to do with the conversation we were having.
August 1, 201114 yr Greg and I just like to repeat that about 300 times per month...only to serve as a diversion from the constant Rios/Dunn/Walker bashing. Except he also likes Ozzie and Pierre. There we go our separate paths.
August 1, 201114 yr cool... http://twitter.com/#!/CSNChi_Beatnik/s...143508120080384 Ozzie--just f***ing leave please.

Yup, at this point just get rid of the entire Guillen family. Feel free to ax KW while you're at it. Oh, and obviously Greg Walker could go... hmmm, gut the entire organization?

August 1, 201114 yr Remember: Oney Guillen's antics are not a distraction to the club, no one in that clubhouse had any issues with his tweets, they are all his friends and he is a grown man who's allowed to do whatever he pleases, the fact that he's Ozzie Guillen's son and only had access to the clubhouse due to nepotism is irrelevant.
August 1, 201114 yr I'd like to see KW with a coaching staff devoid of Ozzie and Walker. This team would probably not suck as much right now.
August 1, 201114 yr I doubt if many of the players have any respect for the Guillen family anymore. That's probably much of the problem with this team. Nice organization you're running, JR. If you had any repect for the image of the White Sox or the Sox' fan base, you would have allowed KW to fire Ozzie long ago. Instead we have to be embarassed by Guillen and his family on a regular basis.

Yeah I couldn't find anything about it. There is just way too much distracting non-baseball stuff that comes with Guillen. And when he is an average manager, there is just no need to keep him around.

I was wondering what the hell Oney was tweeting about last night. Two or three times he posted something to this effect: "If I ever get married I hope my wife isn't someone that is completely busted/ugly/a dog." Just paraphrasing what he said, and it was completely random and had no context at the time. Makes sense now. Edited August 1, 201114 yr by DirtySox
August 1, 201114 yr s*** is going to pop, and I love it. Every passing second draws the departure of Ozzie closer. So it looks like Teahen DIDN'T start this thing with the "worthless son" tweet. Oney fires the first shot yet again?
