Greg...I don't make personal attacks, but you are the stupidest person in the history of the internet. I can't even fathom this and its posts like this that really prove the fact that you are either (a) that stupid or (b) the biggest troll in the history of Soxtalk.

who got knocked out, me or chisox? it seems to me he snapped and will prolly be headed to the penalty box.

How long will it take for greg to realize who Chisoxfn is....

 

Which actually only backs up Jason's statement, since greg has been here what, close to a decade? And yet he still doesn't know.

It would be interesting to see if the site owner would ban himself.

 

I will file this under "greg775 predictions" behind:

 

Ozzie will win lots of world series

Ozzie will win NL manager of the year in 2012

Ozzie will get a manager job as soon as he is fired from the Marlins.

Jason won a world series while owner of this site, so I would think he would get the benefit of the doubt.

He is the only site owner to ever win a WS in Chicago. Amazing.

You really can't overestimate how he kept all the posters loose that year, and deflected criticism to himself. And the "tough love" approach he took with inexperienced posters was invaluable.

Haha Marlins losing 5-0 in the top of the first

Sorry to interrupt the shenanigans, but Stanton needs to be in the HR derby. Holy hell does he hit the ball far.

I'm still in shock over that.

If he's the owner, then it's pretty crazy to think my defense of Ozzie would elicit such a venomous response. All I'm doing is stating my defense of Ozzie. It's not like I'm starting threads saying Ozzie this and Ozzie that and I wish Ozzie was still here.

You guys think Ozzie quit on the team whatever that means. I say the Sox didn't want him and he sped up the process by negotiating the final week or whenever. If the Sox wanted Ozzie Guillen and made it known they wanted Oz through thick and thin, he'd still be here.

 

Also, who cares if he's playing on the internet before games instead of scouring advanced stats. What did Earl Weaver do back in the day w/no internet or Tommy Lasorda? They played grabass with the media I'm sure or played cards. Who cares? A manager brings the intangibles and semblance of strategy DURING games.

But if the Sox expected Ozzie Guillen to fulfill his contract with future commitments based on his performance, he'd darn well start negotiating with another team.

There is no "if", greg. He IS the owner. And for as long as you have been a part of this site it is truly amazing that you don't know that.

And I've never seen Jason do anything like that.

@jaysonst : Carlos Zambrano has made 4 starts since homering 6/3. #Marlins are 0-4, have been outscored 35-11 & Zambrano has given up 19 R in 16 IP. Oof

Nope. That's him. I remember he got on me one time. lol. But damn. He snapped.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:37 PM)
This is like one of those trainwreck versions of CHEATERS that you can't avert your eyes from...as inevitable as the denouement may have been.

 

I wonder what Greg will have to do when Ozzie gets canned?

 

Defend his broadcasting abilities?

 

There will still be Dee Weezey, Pierre, Pods, a few relics of 2005 still left.....Buehrle, of course. Jenks seems to be history.

 

Then he'll be left with only comparing what Ozzie would have done versus Ventura in the games that the Sox lose, perhaps. Second-guessing.

If demanding a new contract in the middle of September and willingly negotiating with another team during September isn't quitting on the Sox, what is? Did he literally have to not show up to the park? I suppose that would've been Kenny's fault, or the gas prices were too high at the time.

 

And please, NEVER use Ozzie in the same paragraph as Earl Weaver and Tommy Lasorda, unless you're listing reasons about how different they are as managers, as in, "Ozzie is dogs*** compared to Lasorda and Weaver."

 

Please get over yourself. I'm 24 posts in and you annoy me already. There's a reason Ozzie was a .525 manager with the Sox and his current team sucks, but I suppose that's Miami management's fault. Getting Reyes, Buehrle, and Bell was horrible. RIIIIGHT.

No, it didn't. He just doesn't like you.

Yes, so WHAT exactly was Ozzie's fault or responsibility in the final week of 2011 fiasco? ANYTHING?

 

We should all have guaranteed multi-year contracts going forward past our current salary year or we can refuse to perform our stated duties?

 

Sounds reasonable, especially when your teams have made it to the playoffs just once in the previous 6 years, and many of those teams with $100+ million payrolls. Well, that's not Ozzie's fault, bad players, bad GM, fire KW. 2005=good managing, good players, Ozzie is God.

 

All the blame probably lies with JR, KW and Don Cooper, the new "axis of evil."

I feel bad for Greg now.

Damn.
