hogan873 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) Exactly. Chances are Ozzie will be a far better manager than whomever replaces him. I think it's too late however, for Oz or KW to save their jobs. They both will go or it will look like Jerry is favoring one over the other. Doubtful. Of course it depends on who replaces him (if he's even replaced), but there are better candidates out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only a few managers in baseball that are worse than Ozzie at game tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain it because he made the all-star game, and he's been a road warrior...but I really don't care if I ever see Q in a Sox uniform again. Viciedo is the future, and I'm happy to see him playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that makes sense. Pierre--De Aza- Viciedo Q at DH? That would work, assuming Konerko can play 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hell, maybe getting Carlos back would push Rios back to hitting 5th. That alone would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The sad thing is, the Sox had a respectable 16-12 August after starting 0-4. That 11-22 start just won't go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know, but I'd like to know what the Sox record would be right now if Ozzie let Buehrle finish the shutout on April 11th vs Oakland. Thornton comes in again after being bad, and then Pierre drops the ball on the warning track. Sox hitting goes into a tailspin, and they go 5-18 the next 23.

Viciedo is the future, and I'm happy to see him playing. I get tired of these posts where fans for some inexplicable reason don't want good players like Quentin on their team any more. How bout an outfield of Tank, DeAza and CQ next year. That would not be bad. I know Dayan is good but why do people always tire of guys on the current roster? It again is the backup quarterback syndrome. Rios is the dog that should go away; CQ should stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 They talked about the Sox on PTI just now, and Wilbon honestly thinks the Sox will win the divison, and he also gave a shoutout to all the young players who are performing, and started to talk about Viciedo, but it went to commercial and he got cut off.

Absolutely, I think we'll have a little money to spend this offseason and almost every other position/starting rotation is locked up already.
