chisoxfan09 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Did they fire Ozzie and Walker yet??? I say we ask Nancy Faust to come back out of retirement and see if she wants to take a crack at managing the team. Couldn´t hurt. :lolhitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 So is everybody in agreement Oz will be fired tonight or after the Boston series? Or will it be Oz/KW both getting the pink slip tonight or after Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honestly, this awful 2 month stretch has basically guaranteed that I won't be wasting money at the ballpark very often this year. I'll head out to 1 or 2 games this summer and that's about it. With discretionary income at a premium with a newborn in tow, wasting money to watch AA quality baseball isn't a high priority for me right now.

Its time for him to go. The minute you start ripping on the fans in some fit of rage because the seat gets a bit hot. You have overstayed your welcome. " They'll only remember the 2005 team in 2020 when we come here in a wheelchair," Guillen said. "Oh yeah, thank you. As soon as you leave the ballpark, they don’t care about you any more. They don’t. The monuments, the statues they have for you, they (urinate) on it when they are drunk. That’s what they do. Thank you for coming for 30 minutes for all the suffering you did all your life, day in and day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're payroll heavy and not going to be drawing fans, yet we can't really move any salary. They've got to get rolling here on this next homestand or this could get really, really ugly.

If you believe Ozzie has done that, I want some of whatever you are on. Ozzie has avg 86 wins a season at the helm, as I already said in the other thread.. And a lot of those times, its been without the same level of talent as the other contending teams.. Is it really Ozzies fault that Rios cant hit water if he fell out of a boat? It must be because of Ozzie that Adam Dunn suddenly forgot how to be worth a damn.. Where is the line here of who is to blame? The coach who seemingly HAS been able to get the most out of what hes been giving, or the dude who gave him these mediocre players in the first place? Weve already gone over a million times how KW hasn't really made any good moves in years.. well what if someone was GM that WAS making good moves.. do you think this team would still be under performing with Ozzie as manager? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
