chetkincaid Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) I've never been a complete Kenny backer...but I don't see how anyone can put all the blame for this year's struggles on him. Almost to a man, this board was ecstatic with the offseason and thought Kenny did everything (or almost everything) he should have been doing. The personnel moves were right....the fault lies with the players and the coaches. The time is now to get their s*** in order if we are to get back in the race. Post of the season right here.

His recent trades have been disasterous. It's left us with this bloated payroll. Of course the blame goes to everyone, but with Ozzie getting a lot of heat, KW is the one who's had a few hideous seasons in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) Yeah, the season will be over by the middle of May. Haha. Well, this will probably DESTROY the franchise for many years. 126 million to lose 90 games. 2007 did half the damage, accompanied by the flameout to end 2006. It ALMOST would have been better off if 2008 had never happened and they had started the rebuilding process then. (Thank god they won the Blackout Game or the Twins would be even more of a nightmare to think about). KW just rolled snake eyes and got incredibly fortunate with Danks/Floyd/Quentin/Ramirez. Unfortunately, he's made one bad move after another from that season to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 can't really blame Kenny for this years struggles, these are all players we wanted in the off season this is on the coaches & players, i can't f***ing wait until Kenny & Jerry are FORCED to have to fire people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) Please, please send Sale down to become a starter. This is such a waste with him right now. This whole season is going to be a waste. Life is too short to be bothered with this type of aggravation day in and day out. We have no control over these events. We can talk about them but they do not translate into material changes. Imagine this team in the dog days of summer - yikes. But of course, just about everyone recognizable on it will gone by then except the 3 stooges principally responsible. The 3 biggest egos on this team are the chairman, the gm and the manager.

sin city sox fan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 With Ozzie sitting out tonight, it's clear to see he's not the problem of this team at all. So I believe it's time that everyone quit calling for his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I believe it's time that everyone quit calling for his head. You're right, a manager missing one game totally changes the fundamentals and approach of a team. I'm sorry Ozzie, I should have never blamed you for the 25 players that you supervise 160 games a season. Hey Sin, your boy Jenks is going to get run out of Boston soon.

Of course the blame goes to everyone, but with Ozzie getting a lot of heat, KW is the one who's had a few hideous seasons in a row. Some of it's bad luck with Dunn so far, but with Beckham/Rios/Sale/Peavy/Pierre/Jackson all foundering, it's just too much to overcome. And the starting pitching just hasn't gotten any kind of consistent rhythm or momentum since the bullpen implosions. Buehrle, Floyd and Danks are what they are, and I guess Jackson's proven the axiom about being the kind of talent who will get numerous managers and pitching coaches fired. About the only highlights are Santos, Quentin and Konerko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
