GoodAsGould Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) If the Sox go back to being an annual runner up, then Ozzie is ripped into for being a bad manager. He goes out now...he never EVER has to deal with that. Not by me at least... if we win the WS ill always be behind Ozzie... even if I question some in-game moves ill always stand behind him.

kevin57 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) Oz made the statement during the depths of that August/Sept freefall, but then didn't discount it when interviewed on the Score the day after game 1. If he goes, how about Cooper for manager? SFF Sorry, Ozzie repeated his "threat" just the other morning with Mike North. I think it's typical Guillen b.s. He's got "Sox" in his blood. Even in FL his mind and heart were on this city. Ozzie has been a great manager. Except for some of his bullpen "quirks," he is fantastic.

DABearSoX Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I will have to agree that this is BS. when he originally said it it was in the "choke" portion of the season. He was complaining about getting booed by fans. But the reason for the booing was he was brining in Marte.....I will respect him if he retires, but Ozzie will be DA MANAGER if he brings the trophy to Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just a couple of days ago, Ozzie was talking about how the Chicago media "turned" on Dusty Baker. He said he knows it will happen to him someday as well. That might be why he's thinking about riding off into the sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloria fugit But the thing is, that's the way it is with everything in life. Hell, if Ozzie rode off into the "Golf Sunset" (which I don't believe for a minute is in his blood), there would be those who would comment, exploit, criticize. Michael Jordan can tell ya' all about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 If ozzie won a world series and than retired from coaching having only coached two years. That would probably be one of the wierdest things to happen baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 QUOTE(Wedge @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) I'd be sad if Ozzie didn't come back. I don't know that we could replace him. Sweet Lou might be about the only guy crazy enough to take over for Ozzie. What has Lou Piniella done lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) What has Lou Piniella done lately? Jumped ship on a sinking TB club. No thanks to that kind of manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
