Balta1701 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Hopefulyl it means Kotsay is just gone entirely, with Teahen rotating through RF, DH and maybe the corners to get his LH bat in the lineup regularly. Jones as the true backup OF, Lillibridge the equivalent IF. That's the ideal. We'll see if that is what they do. I don't think Kotsay is going to be gone, just because it keeps them having a backup 1b. If the Dodgers do wait until Tuesday...the Sox will only have to clear a roster spot for 1 day before the rosters expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Ozzie is the antithesis of a love him or hate him guy. Go on any other boards and you will find people who hate the living s*** out of him, or thinks he's great for baseball cause of his antics. Some fans bases hate him a bit more (Detroit, Cleveland, LA for example) than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) It's shallow and stupid to try to justify his acquisition by the questions you ask. In answer to your questions. Yes, I've sped while driving and had some tickets. No I've not fudged a tax return, ever. Yes I've jaywalked. What the f*** does that have to do with this? We can disagree on his character but cheating is wrong. Enough with the "stupid". I wasn't trying to pick a fight, Greg. My point was that you say any and all cheating to wrong. Longshot's post was meant to be partly funny and...aw forget it. It's not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wedmesday Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) I find it so ironic that you want the Sox to win with class yet you are so in love with Ozzie. Most fans outside of Chicago would call him a classless jerk. Yes, but he's our classless jerk. Which is exactly what Manny would be, especially if he helps us win, as Ozzie has. I personally have had enough of talent-challenged nice guys at DH. If Manny somehow ends up here and somehow helps us win it all, he will be described by everyone in far more flattering terms. Otherwise, KW said ot best: "We can put up with any one for 30 days." I personally hope he's our problem for about sixty days.
