QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 22, 2007 -> 04:11 PM) So you're saying pretty much that it didn't matter what the hell Ozzie did, the game was over anyways. If that's the case, why doesn't Ozzie just have the White Sox players come off the field when they get down by three or more runs at any time the rest of the season? Hell, Ozzie can just have a little fun -- let's put Contreras in CF, Jenks at SS and Buehrle behind homeplate. Just so we have this clear, everybody -- from now on, Ozzie gets a pass on ANY decision made when the Sox are down by more than one run. Apparently I was wrong in thinking that the manager's job was to put make decisions that gives his team the best possible shot at winning. You know what I find very funny? The fact that it's clockwork that people like you come into threads like this and never, EVER defend Ozzie's decisions. In fact -- it's very ironic that you're the one saying that other people are stirring the pot. What do you do? You come into these threads and throw s*** at other people. Have you ever actually tried to put up an argument relevant to Ozzie's decision-making? No -- you come in here and just point the finger at the people who are calling out Ozzie on the (stupid) moves he makes. And when it comes to these threads taling about individual moves in individual games, what do you do? Bring up irrelevant bulls***. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. EDIT: The only person who actually came in and put up a decent defense for the Ozzie shift was TLAK. And I've seen absolutely nothing for leaving in Contreras for the 8th. I will defend Ozzie's decisions, if I feel the need to defend them. But thank you for telling me how I should post. My posts pertain to the extreme negativity towards Ozzie. And by extreme I mean EXTREME. "Worst manager in any sport, ever!" Please. That is an insane and silly post. Does Ozzie make stupid moves...uh yeah. But what I find even more silly is a certain poster who main agenda is to have 20/20 hindsight every time a move backfires and claim superiority over Ozzie and then post. That I find silly, also. I find it stupid to start an argument with other posters in your first post in a thread like he did in this one. What did he hope to accomplish? A reasonable and intellegent discussion? No likely. This is what he wanted. There are a lot of great posters on this site who dislike Ozzie. I respect their posts and agree with what they say. Not here. As for me being irrelevant. You are wrong... This is an irrelevant.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) Finally, Its one thing to start a thread about a bad call in a game, and it is quite another to be begging someone to argue with you. Its even worse to already be claiming to be the victim when you start a new thread. The whole "poor me" routine is so old, it isn't even funny. That's where I disagree with you... They are VERY FUNNY. You see its all an attention getting act. Stir the pot...hope for an argument. He's kind of like Andy Kaufman without all that talent getting in the way. This is why I'm positive its an act. He can't be serious with this statement:

I can't wait to see the threads next year about how should have kept Iguchi, Contreras and how the White Sox screwed up a dynasty in the 90s by not keeping Dan Pasqua. You guys are so bi-polar its hysterical!!

QUOTE(juddling @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 12:39 PM) Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who witnessed the assault, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Lovitz told Page Six, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole." During the assault, Andy's friends...uh...Ninjas, yeah. They came up behind Lovitz, but Jon ripped their hearts out one by one. He gave the last beating heart to his wife...Morgan Fairchild as an anniversary gift. Yeah...that's the ticket!

Well, then get back in your time machine go back to 1900 before women could vote so you can live in peace or you could stay here, become smarter and learn to cook and clean for yourself like other, real men...so you don't starve or live in squalor. Enjoy you stay!

I'd just assume you spend you time on less predictable things. I'm sorry...we're you just overreacting, then?

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) well there goes the 4 game sweep and certain victory tomorrow. Good then...We shouldn't bother seeing you here tomorrow since you know the outcome.

I thought I didn't need a hot chicks room, but then I thought...I said the same thing about the microwave, and we use that darned thing all the time. Disclaimer: This is not a "sexy" chicks room.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) Ya, he is no longer in the Sox system. IIRC he was a catcher while in the Sox system and they looked quite a bit alike. For awhile they switches places so the older Carlos could see what it's like living like a regular person and the younger Carlos could see what its like living like a rich British teenager. It was wacky and funny.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 5, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) Which is why what he did tonight makes no sense. It goes against the work Ozzie has done handeling Danks the entire season, as he's always tried to get him out on a good note. I'm not hating on the handeling of Danks this year overall as it's been good, but tonight was laughable. He'll have a week to think about the disaster in the 7th instead of all the good he did the 14 innings before that now. Why don't you send him a Teddy-gram and a bowl of soup so he doesn't cry.

That's awesome! And the love is still spreading across the internet! Look at what Wikipedia says about me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbie

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 5, 2007 -> 09:27 PM) I was utterly bewildered he left Danks in. If this were Mark or Jon or Javy even ok, but Danks is a rookie and had been struggling for a while until his last outing. We were up 8, he had thrown 6 strong and 100 pitches and there we no need at all to leave him out there for the 7th. Our pen can hold an 8 run lead. I don't see how this point is unreasonable. Hindsight is 20/20 If Ozzie took him out when you said he should and our bullpen started giving up runs like it did on Monday, you be the first one screaming that Ozzie should have left him in. Let's face it...if Ozzie sneezes, you think he should have coughed. If he coughs...why didn't he sneeze?!?

Yeah!!! And to add on... Hey Ozzie, why did you let them wear the white uniforms?!? We all know the black ones look cooler at night!!! You shouldn't have let the youngster pick out the white pinstripes!! What are you thinking?!? Whoever said Ozzie had zero fashion sense was 100 percent right! Horrible.
