It's pretty obvious he will be their next manager. They want him and our fans want to run him out of town. Easy to figure. He'll be very popular in Florida.

 

And we will begin the 3-4 year cycle of managers again.

Who will be the first guinea pig to take the Sox job?

See ya, Oz. We're better without you anyway.

 

Yeah we're better off without the only guy to win a WS in Chicago since the dark ages.

We're better off with a guy Florida would do anything to get.

He'll have the last laugh as in about 30 years he'll probably still be the only manager to win a WS in Chicago since the dark ages.

 

p.s. It's Ozzie's fault that Dunn is a joke; Rios is a joke; Peavy is an albatross and the team couldn't get a clutch hit if the ball was put on a tee.

 

All you guys that think he's a buffoon because of certain pitching changes, bunting, not bunting, etc., will have the same complaints when we lose a game with our next manager. It's the nature of the game. blame the manager. And I agree with Wolf. KW better follow Ozzie to the curb when Oz takes the Florida job for next season.

 

And I'm not an Ozzie apologist. The right thing to do would have been to fire Ozzie in May after that horrific start. That start was inexcusable with our payroll. I still think he's a great manager, but he should have been fired then to kick-start his Florida career.

FWIW, Jeff Conine is the most popular choice with most south Floridians.

 

The question that ownership group has to answer (partially) is who is the name that best sells season tickets and is the face of the franchise with Hanley and Josh....is it Guillen, Bobby Valentine or Conine?

 

That area is one of the high intensity demographic regions for Hispanics in the US, and that's another feather in Ozzie's cap.

 

However, many wouldn't be surprised to see Dave Martinez also get at least an interview.

Has he managed/coached anywhere? Little League maybe? Sounds like another Reinsdorf cronie hire. No experience, but he was a favorite of JR and he'll work cheap.

He'd come in with less experience than Ozzie came in with. I think he has managed little league.
