Was that have to do with this year.. He had 44 saves in 2011... Another bad move by Kenny... This is getting to easy to mount a case against Kenny..

 

He was injured this year so that has relevance because it was this year.

"pretty good" front office

Boring so far. I wanna hear Kenny

Wasn't David Kaplan, I'm sure he's watching Cubs game instead.

Putz was pretty erratic in the 2nd half last year.

 

He was far from a sure thing. Pitching in the NL West is a different animal than taking on the Rangers, AL East, Twins last year, Angels, etc.

Smartest move the Marlins ever made.

 

Sox are close to being irrelevant in this town of Chicago, losing a headline stealer like Ozzie. If you think that's not important in this Cubbie-town I believe u are mistaken.

 

KW better make some significant changes cause the manager wasn't the problem with this poorly built team.

 

Ozzie's better off in Florida. I hope the Sox make significant player changes for the Buddy Bell era.

It's no fun being on the downslide. The Royals are coming and we are sliding personnel-wise.

 

Good luck, Ozzie. You are the best manager in Sox history.

 

Good luck, Ozzie successor. This season sucked and we fans want to have something to cheer about during the season as well as the postseason.

KW won't make the same mistake again. He'll hire a Williams puppet. Hope he picks a good man. I wanna win.

 

From the espn.com story

 

"Only Jimmy Dykes and Al Lopez have won more games as White Sox manager than Guillen, who led the club to the World Series title in 2005. Now in his eighth year at the helm, Guillen said he never expected to ride the coattails of that championship forever."

Yep, nothing positive coming from Ozzie about KW. No suprises.

Man, seeing Harold cry was depressing.

I'm sure the trade was already agreed upon. If not, the Marlins would now hold all the cards since the Sox released Guillen.

Then why not do the deal now.............Sox can have OG sit on his ass Florida needs OG to open the new ballpark. Florida holds nothing but air without OG and who is going to take a lame duck 1 year job.

I'll guess Yelich and Skipworth.

 

I'd be stoked if we got Yelich. I don't think it's going to happen though.

Love the moron beat reporter who couldn't wait for Guillen to finish his conference.

Ahhh when your first try failed... Now make excuses for Kenny.. Let's talk about how this is ozzie's fault?

If they pick Buddy Bell, they're even more idiotic than I thought.

I found that incredibly odd. These guys get briefed on this kind of etiquette all the time.

Your side lost, JR picked KW over Ozzie.

 

Please get over it by making a "straw man" argument that JJ Putz should have been the closer. That will deflect all the attention away from reality.

 

Or provide a bitter diatribe like Greg775 that will be entertaining to read in a couple of seasons when Loria and the fans in South Florida lose patience with the Guillen clan.

Why would I be happy? He's a great manager.

No surprise though. It was obvious he'd be gone for a long time.

 

Get ready for a KW puppet.

I'd expect next season most fans will turn on KW when we suck again. Hard to blame Ozzie for next year when he's sunning in Florida.

Greg, your post may be absolutely terrible, but at least we know you are still alive and didnt slit your wrists.

 

Change is coming, finally.
