September 10, 201114 yr OZZIE MUST BE FIRED OUT OF A CATAPULT INTO A BRICK WALL. HIS NAME IS RIOS AND HE DANCES ON THE PATHS (IT'S BEEN A DAMN YEAR SINCE I COULD USE THAT) HUMBER PIERRE THE WORLD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
September 10, 201114 yr Ozzie's managing was so great!!! Ozzie didn't make a single mistake this entire game because we won. Just win, baby!!! Give him the extension right now. Even DJ and Farmer are saying how terrible we played...fifth time with bases loaded is finally the charm. Indians issued 11 walks and gave up 10 hits. If either Dunn or Ramirez are playing on Sunday, Ozzie should be fired on the spot....whenever that line-up card is posted. Edited September 10, 201114 yr by caulfield12

DJ and Farmer wanted to punch Ozzie from the sound of it. Fox announcers hated on Ozzie too.

That is all that matters. Wins and losses. 3) Juan had another good game. Just admit it. He is a very good baseball player.

You beat me to it. I had planned on posting something similar.
September 10, 201114 yr What's really scaring me is that DJ and Farmer were talking up Juan Pierre as an awesome #2 hitter for next season. That's the second coming of the apocalypse. KW gone, Ozzie stays and we have another season of Juan Pierre...blocking DeAza/Lillibridge from playing and wasting, let's say, another $4.5 million. The bloom is also officially off the rose on the Tyler "Long Swing Surpassed Only by Adam Dunn" Flowers experiment.

You just want Ozzie to get fired. 2) Wait until he goes to Florida and wins multiple titles and we get a boring manager that just says the same thing all of the time.

September 10, 201114 yr You know guys, Rios has improved substantially since he raised his hands. I wish I could post the splits but I don't know when the hand raising happened. I think he has raised his average from around .200 to .220 over that time and hit about 5 HRs in the past month and a half or so. Edited September 10, 201114 yr by Elgin Slim

As of like a week ago, he was something like 9 for his last 52. Not sure how he's been since.

September 11, 201114 yr Rios hit .250 in August and is 9/24 (.375) for August. But still only 3 homers and 12 RBI's combined for what basically amounts to six weeks of play. Sure, he's missed out on playing time because of DeAza, but not nearly as much as Dunn. And his overall OBP is still .258, vs. lifetime as .323. That's pretty terrible. And his road OPS is still well south of 550.

Not the greatest, but an improvement over the rest of the season. Surprisingly, his best month was June, where he hit .266. He has had 4 HR over the last 6 weeks.
September 11, 201114 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) I didn't catch the game...but what exactly did Ozzie do this time? He was f***ing around with a fishing pole in the dugout, acting like he didn't give two s***s about managing. He also failed to pinch hit Viciedo for Dunn in the 9th, instead opting to pinch hit him for De Aza, who had 2 doubles in the game. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by Elgin Slim

September 11, 201114 yr He let Dunn face a lefty with 2 on in the bottom of the ninth. Then pinch hit Viciedo for De Aza. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by JorgeFabregas

Surprisingly, his best month was June, where he hit .266. He has had 4 HR over the last 6 weeks. Basically the same numbers that banished Brian Anderson from baseball. Except he actually played a much better CF than Rios has this entire season. And for a much cheaper salary.
September 11, 201114 yr I don't give a s*** what Ozzie does the rest of the year to be honest. It's what he did that got me to that point that I dislike.
September 11, 201114 yr I gotta say I'm a big fan of Josh Lewin. I know in a million years Hawk wont be fired, but 'd love him as the play by play man in Chicago.

OOO wait, it never happened. KW was trying to block DET from grabbing him, because he thought.. Hey the Griffey trade didn't work last year.. and we are what 6-7 back. so it makes sense.. so what if he is owed 75mil more.. KW is to blame for Rios, he shouldn't be here.. Period.
