People called him a clown, an idiot, and things MUCH worse than that.

What he is is the FIRST manager to lead a White Sox team to the World Series since 1959, and the FIRST White Sox manager to have to win TWO playoff series to get there!!!

Is he a PERFECT manager? No.

Is he a LEADER? YES.

 

So to you, Ozzie, I say:

Congratulations!

Enjoy it!

and then......

GET US FOUR MORE WINS!!!!

He's a crazy mo-fo, but you can't argue with the results right now.

He's not crazy, he's CRAFTY.

His role in molding a team that the "experts" picked to finish 3rd or 4th into the BEST team in the A.L., both regular season and postseason, cannot be understated.

He holds the guys accountable for their performance, but shows more loyalty to them and confidence in them than the fans would. He has a LONG leash, but demands results. AND he's one of them, and they KNOW IT. He's in the bunker with them, and takes the shots with them or FOR them, and that breeds respect!

Great posts by all of you!

I've loved Oz all the way through,

and forever more will eat my own words about Kenny.

I thought he was a buffoon early on as GM. He wasn't. He isn't.

Good job Oz and Kenny and good call chisoxfan when you told us all to shut up after Game One. You said this team wouldn't quit.

The team was stale in Game One and hot as hell after that!!

4 complete games in a row? You've got to be kiddin me!

Absolutely terrified when Garland and Count kept coming out, but they held it down.

 

Him standing back, acknowledging the fans, and letting his players enjoy the moment brought tears to my eyes.

 

Hope he keeps his word and has to retire in another 2 weeks.

4 more wins before I start crying on my knees. 4 more and I know they can do it. Whoever we face is going to be a great matchup no doubt about it.

 

Definitley some love for Ozzie. I love that guy and I can't believe what he has done with our team. Thank you ozzie, thank you for a special season thus far, but your job isn't done yet. 4 more oz, 4 more!!
