SonofaRoache Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm not a fan of Ozzie at all, but oddly enough he may be what this team needs. At the very least, I'd enjoy him getting angry during the tough times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have this gut feeling it’s going to Ozzie and an announcement is coming tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ask one of the guys on the interview team to interview you gotta figure it's because they couldn't find anyone they agreed on. I don't think that anymore. Who do you think it is?

BigHurt3515 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The city and fanbase still love Ozzie and Jerry knows this. Playoff game last year he was in a box right above where I was sitting and everyone was cheering for him and chanting his name 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry just knows the fanbase loves him so for him it would be a home run in his senile mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If it’s Guillen…I’m not sure I can support them anymore or at least until Reinsdorf is gone. I know I say that and I know I’ll be back watching, but how fucking stubborn or dumb or whatever can a guy be to hire LaRussa and then Guillen. Zero self awareness. Please let this rant be for naught. Please hire Long or anyone who’s been in a dugout this decade. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If they name Ozzie I'd be so happy I'd not know what to do. I'd act like George Bailey when he returns from the darkside. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR's handling of this team rivals Wirtz through most of his ownership. The 2004 Blackhawks were voted the worst run team in ALL SPORTS. A title JR is clearly striving to eclipse with the way he has run this franchise into the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for a guy who quit on the team previously? As insanely demented as the TLR hire was, an Ozzie would be loads crazier IMO. KW & Hahn legit don’t like Ozzie and rightfully so. I refuse to believe Ozzie interviewing is anything more than a favor to him from Jerry. Matt Long will be the manager and we will all laugh this off shortly after the World Series. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front office wants to move forward and not in the past but JR just wants to do what he wants to do. I guess we’ll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those signings were kinda no brainers based on the current Sox situation and remember Hahn chose Vince Velasquez initially instead of Cueto. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you can give him credit to some extent, any GM in baseball would have made those moves in that same situation. Both of them were desperation, oh no a key guy is injured so I have no choice moves. Most wouldn’t have allowed their so called competitive roster to get to that level of desperation in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately after the last such power play crashed and burned in spectacular fashion? That’s a bridge too far even for JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
