BigSqwert Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) We have a LOT of ego in the organization that is really to stubborn to give up any of their power/ideals. So let me get this straight.... - terribly overpriced roster - sub .500 team in a terrible division - awful divisional record - nonexistent depth in the minors - several untradeable albatross contracts - GM and manager that don't get along - manager's family members disrupting the club house via social media - consistent blowouts in media between ex players and management - fans no longer coming out Tell me again why there have been no changes in the front office?!??!

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) Maggs, Dye, Frank, Jenks, Teahen....does anyone leave this organization quietly? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we have had more than 5 player changes over the past 8 years. So yeah, I think SOME of them do leave quietly.

Quin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Teahen, you brilliant man. I wish he hadn't sucked, cause he's a cool guy by all accounts. And Oney works for the f***ing Sun Times? Who you know I guess. But who the f*** did Cowley know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Oney telling Teahen to choose his battles wisely...the f***ing cockiness of that asshole is unbelievable. I honestly wish nothing but the absolute worst for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to keep a job that no one holds you accountable for. JR/KW/Ozzie has a list of excuses for each one of those problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Too bad Ozzie didn't have the balls to say "Hey Alex, how about you change your stance, or you'll never see the field again? Now get to work." QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) And the best part is that Teahen is 1000000000000% correct. Kudos to Mark. 1.) Yeah, right. Nobody tells these millionaire players what to do. What dream world are u living in? 2.) Mark Teahen is a horrible horrible baseball player. He is abysmal.

caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Greg and I just like to repeat that about 300 times per month...only to serve as a diversion from the constant Rios/Dunn/Walker bashing. Except he also likes Ozzie and Pierre. There we go our separate paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, at this point just get rid of the entire Guillen family. Feel free to ax KW while you're at it. Oh, and obviously Greg Walker could go... hmmm, gut the entire organization?

What did Oney tweet about Teahen and his wife? If he tweeted something about Teahen's wife, he should get his mouth shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Remember: Oney Guillen's antics are not a distraction to the club, no one in that clubhouse had any issues with his tweets, they are all his friends and he is a grown man who's allowed to do whatever he pleases, the fact that he's Ozzie Guillen's son and only had access to the clubhouse due to nepotism is irrelevant.

Quin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'd like to see KW with a coaching staff devoid of Ozzie and Walker. This team would probably not suck as much right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I doubt if many of the players have any respect for the Guillen family anymore. That's probably much of the problem with this team. Nice organization you're running, JR. If you had any repect for the image of the White Sox or the Sox' fan base, you would have allowed KW to fire Ozzie long ago. Instead we have to be embarassed by Guillen and his family on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballantini needs to elaborate. Yeah I couldn't find anything about it. There is just way too much distracting non-baseball stuff that comes with Guillen. And when he is an average manager, there is just no need to keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballantini needs to elaborate. Ahhh. I was wondering what the hell Oney was tweeting about last night. Two or three times he posted something to this effect: "If I ever get married I hope my wife isn't someone that is completely busted/ugly/a dog." Just paraphrasing what he said, and it was completely random and had no context at the time. Makes sense now.

Milkman delivers Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 s*** is going to pop, and I love it. Every passing second draws the departure of Ozzie closer. So it looks like Teahen DIDN'T start this thing with the "worthless son" tweet. Oney fires the first shot yet again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
