Any Bevington rumors?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) Was anybody else completely turned off/disgusted by Ozzie's comments (in the Trib) about how all he cared about at this stage was money and more money? Literally saying f*** the ring, he wants to get paid? Wow, Marlins management must be excited to hear that, paying him $4 million a year. Not: I want to win, or I want to EARN my big money, just... yup... wait for it.... SHOW ME THE MONEY. For those comments alone he should be gone and, as one columnist pointed out: Ozzie didn't get fired, he quit. He quit months ago.

Ugh. Nothing like money to tear apart a family.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) I voted for excited, but I also want to note that I'm a little bit anxious. I don't trust this organization to make the correct managerial choice, especially with JR sticking his nose into it so much. JR is starting to feel a lot like Jerry Jones in some ways.

I think it's always exciting for a new era to begin.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) Just curious. For quite some time I have been reading about the Dave Martinez hype. Can someone give me the low down on why they really believe that HE IS THE GUY. I don't know much about his managerial credentials, and how he is at handling players. Also, how is he at being able to get the best out of them in order for us to believe that we can have a winning team again? Looking foe all comments that have some real validity to them as to why there are so many posts on the Dave Martinez bandwagon. (Just a side note) I'm not for or against. Just looking for some "rock solid" answers as to why so many posts have been made as to why they thought that he would be the perfect fit for our new manager. He has been mentored by a very good manager for the past few years. He also knows the Chicago market and the media here. That's all I know. EDIT: He's been involved with a franchise that has played very well with a limited payroll.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 10:07 AM) Hey Sqwert, congrats! Also, since you live near where I was living for a while, I can provide some info on renting it out if you'd like. We had a bear of a time trying to sell our condo, but when we put it up for rental - and at a pretty high rent - we had a contract in less than 2 weeks. Rental market is doing quite well. Thanks and I'd certainly be willing to hear your thoughts on renting.

Shows how good you are at reading. You avoided the Q post.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) Cowley is going to be on WSCR shortly. So no Marty34 posts for the next 15 minutes?

Perhaps you haven't read the actual statistics.

Not a good idea if you ask me.

Boardwalk Empire: Jimmy and his mother have a very odd relationship. I'm thinking she molested him when he was younger.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:54 AM) Are you talking about Cooper? I really doubt Kenny doesn't want him here since the Sox wouldn't let him talk to the Yankees last year. Yes. It just seems odd that a new manager wouldn't have input on his coaches.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:50 AM) Wait, Sqwert and Ozzie are going in opposite directions, coincidence? I need to be as far away from him as possible.

So let me get this straight. We have a GM that isn't allowed to fire his manager and we'll now have a new manager that will not be able to pick his own coaches? JR sucks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) JimMargalus Jim Margalus FWIW, Buddy Bell told us he had no interest in managing again. /RT @SoxBlog: Ozzie Guillen is out, so what happens now?

Thank you for 2005 Ozzie. That's all I have. I've never been a huge fan.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) Lol@Ozzie deserving a statue. Is there a Phil Jackson statue at the UC? Is there a Mike Ditka statue at SF? GMAB. I agree with you on this one. That would be ludicrous. Why not have a statue of Pants Roland while we're at it.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 07:28 AM) What news to wake up to this morning! f***ing awesome! I went on twitter this morning and couldn't believe it. Finally. 2012 isn't over and done with yet after all! Hip Hip Hooray!!!

BTW, who's the interim? Cora? I haven't seen that posted anywhere.

I hope all of you are prepared to see Ozzie win multiple titles in Florida while we get a boring manager here in Chicago.

Happy Birthday!!!

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) Here comes him blaming his mistakes on Ozzie.. in 3, 2, 1... OOO wait, its already begun. Hopefully there's room on that jet for you and your kleenex.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) That was actually me talking to Ozzie. Easy mistake to have made.
