QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) A manager that is provided a roster that has a chance to win something of significance and players who want to win. Several everyday players who hit line drives to all fields and move runners as well as 4 everyday players who hit a ton of home runs. So in essence you're saying you want a manager that will surround himself with assistance coaches that can help hitters, especially when the manager is provided with players with historically solid hitting pedigrees?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) I'll wait for greg and elrockin's thoughts on this potential swap before I come to a conclusion. 1. Why would we want to get rid of the only manager that brought us a world series title in 100 years? Sure, bring in some boring guy who will tell the reporters the same boring cliches while Ozzie will bring multiple titles to Florida. 2. Ozzie is still young and learning. Why should we send him away when his best years are ahead of him? 3. Maybe we should try to send them Adam Dunn and Alex Rios instead. Why would we want those garbage players and get rid of a former HOF caliber player and future HOF manager? 4. The only reason Ozzie is getting all of the blame is because he was a much better player than Kenny Williams and Kenny is just jealous.

Xavier from X-Men is not what I'd call ugly.

Very tactless of you to say that out loud.

There, there now. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Relax bucko.

Pretty lousy self esteem you have there.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 06:20 AM) No one is saying it's not the players' fault when they fail. But, how can anyone not see that Ozzie did not make the right decisions when it came to whether or not to play the players that were struggling? Rios batting 4th? Dunn not being PH for against a lefty when the game is on the line? Ozzie's excuse that he left Dunn in there because he makes a lot of money? The manager can't throw the ball for the pitchers or swing the bat for the hitters or run the bases for the baserunners. But he can play the pitchers, hitters, and baserunners that give the team the best chance to win. Ozzie hasn't done that. So, his importance in that matter is not overvalued. Why bother. You just explained for the 783678th time to greg why we want all Ozzie gone. He still won't understand after this post. Virtually everyone on this site has tried explaining to him why we need a new manager. Heck, Ozzie could walk over to Lawrence Kansas and explain to greg in person why feels he shouldn't manage this team anymore and greg would still try to convince him otherwise.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Leyland keeps out-managing Guillen. Today, Guillen helped him. Pierre gets a hit. He rarely gets extra base hits, this is well-known. Ozzie has Ramirez batting second. Ramirez honestly, is no good at bunts and has maybe 6 in the year. If Ramirez succeeds in not popping out into a double play, Pierre goes to 2nd. Paulie's next with first base open. Congrats! You just took the bat out of the hands of your best hitter! Then Rios or A.J. bat cleanup (12 hrs between them) and ground into a DP. Killing a rally. Is it so hard to bat Viciedo or Quentin 3rd and Paulie 4th to avoid intentional walks? Is it so hard to allow Pierre to actually steal 2nd and not give up an out right away? Perhaps use the #2 guy to bunt Pierre to 3rd? He makes the f***ing lineups!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) Along with Willie Harris, Geoff Blum, Timo Perez, Shingo Takatsu, Dustin Hermanson, Cliff Politte, Neal Cotts, and Chris Widger. All true White Sox greats.

A loss here will really put us behind the 8 ball. Which coincidentally Ozzie uses the magical variety to set his lineups.

Darn! We need this win to keep our hopes alive.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) If no Ozzie means no Buehrle, see ya, Mark! I agree.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) I didn't know EVO's had a "Compatriot" list under contacts. Is that an App from the Android Market, Marko? You can set up groups in your contacts. It's part of the google experience.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) Also, who uses the word "compatriot" that much? I have you listed in the compatriot list within my phone contacts.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) This is either hyperbole or the White Sox have been pretty terrible when it comes to individual players over the team's entire history. Don't mind him. He doesn't follow stats or use facts to make his opinions. Just the eye test and his gut.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) GM should get rid of players like that, better yet not even acquire them. Why even have a manager? Just make sure the GM always puts together a 100% slump-proof team. Have the equipment manager just pencil in the healthiest 9 guys who make the most money as your starting lineup. You could save the organization a lot of money that way.
