I loathe Ozzie Guillen. What an idiot.

 

How do you feel about Peavy?

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:53 PM)
Ozzie making ridiculous managing decisions. (Dunn, stewart)

Who did you want to pinch run?

 

Anyways, Ozzie is a f***in moron, every time you think he can't get any f***in dumber he does s*** like this. I'm sick to my f***in stomach.

That inning is a perfect image of this whole season.

Rios/Dunn being awful.

PK being great.

Ozzie making ridiculous managing decisions. (Dunn, stewart)

and DeAza hitting a double and dayan getting a hit in th 8th

Fathom, go ahead and add this one to your "10 games that got away"

He sucks ass too. But please PLEASE PLEASE try and defend Ozzie for today. I would love to hear a logical explanation.

Shouldn't it be f***ING obvious to our manager that Dayan should be hitting in the 4 slot? Who else do we have with CQ on the DL? Rios should not get another AB all year. You really can hang this loss on Ozzie as well. He's a f***ing idiot.

Peavy still gave the team 5 innings despite an absolute suck fest in the first. But the problems with this team stems from the manager and his terribly wrong use of players like Dunn and Rios.

 

It would be one thing if he was forced to play Dunn and Rios and had no other alternatives. But hey...he does have alternatives and they're all pretty damn solid.

 

It's like Ozzie wanted to lose the damn game.

officially on the fire ozzie boat now. I'm done. Fire KW as well just for contributing to the cat fight.

 

Such an easy call, it's not "armchair manager", anyone in their right mind would not have Dunn and Rios anywhere near this lineup. No excuse....other than of course a petty hissy fight between our manager and gm.

 

Awesome

we would have won the game if we had a $50 million pitcher who could give up less runs than innings pitched

It's obvious to everyone in the world except Ozzie and Marty34.

Would've been nice to get Pierre home in the 1st inning since we lost by 1.

The Giants DFA'd Rowand. We can make a trade. Dunn for Rowand. Of course the years don't match up but I rather pay 12M to Rowand for 2012 than I think 14M for Dunn for 2012.

This.

 

What a disastrous managerial game for Ozzie. Just atrocious.

 

The whole pinch running thing was actually a good idea (shockingly), so that should not be lumped in there.

I flipped on the game right at the final out. Was that Zach Stewart on base??

x infinity

 

That last pitch was a hanger, a cookie, but Rios figured Nathan would try to get him to chase something bad at 0-2 and had his mind made up, because he's ALWAYS GUESSING!!

 

Now, if DV was batting behind Konerko, and providing, VMart, Youk,etc., like protection. . .? Do you think the Tank would have taken that meatball? Konerko could well be more monster-like with some real protection, possibly, maybe?

 

Ozzie, the maestro.

Dont spin it. They do.

6 runs in 5 innings and you try and make that sound positive?

I still don't understand why he put Omar to pinch hit for Beckham. If I remember correctly, Bekcham's homered off Nathan before (the good one). That's wasting a player for no reason.

Because Vizquel can hit from the left side of the plate.

Not really. Just saying Peavy wasn't the only problem today.

F***in' A

Vizquel's terrible and he could have been called on strike on two occasions. We got a break.

That doesn't negate the fact that he hits from the left side of the plate. For this manager, that is reason enough to PH.

Without Ozzie's best efforts, Peavy could have been easily bailed out today
