Quin Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) This isn't a "I want them both gone" type of thread. If we had to start over with one of Kenny or Ozzie, who would you kick? I say Ozzie, due to Oney, his refusal to acknowledge statistics, his love of scrappy grinders, the awful manner in which he handles young players (Anderson, Morel, Tracey, Dayan, Lillibridge, etc.), his belief that all starters go 7 IP and 200 Innings by default and his LOVE of using that one guy in the bullpen (Pena, Williams).

hi8is Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It's not even close. In KW's corner - there's a lot you can harp on but some gold you can glean as well. Ozzie.... not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ozzie is a rather horrible manager in my opinion, but some blame has to be levied on KW for allowing Ozzie's charade to go on as long as it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ozzie, and it's not even close in my opinion. KW hasn't made the best trades, but Ozzie can't manage the players that he's given. His handling of the pitching staff is horrendous, I'm sick of seeing this team play like a scrappy NL team, and if I see Alex Rios in the lineup again I'm going to vomit. More than anything, I'm just sick of him and his family. I'm just baffled that he still has a job with the way he butts heads with KW.

soxrwhite Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) KW has messed up but also done some good. He builds an impressive roster but necessarily an impressive TEAM. Ozzie is simply a disgrace to the organization and by extensiom MLB. Many could give as little as him with more dignity and grace. He is a foul mouthed undisciplined festering disease that will bad mouth the White Sox [again] when he leaves.

I'll do it for him. Let's see: I can't believe Alex the waste of space is playing. What is going on here? I love Ozzie. But I want him fired. Until tomorrow when I challenge anybody to come up with a suitable replacement. Rios is a bum. At least try. Dunn? What a terrible signing by our horrible GM. He calls the shots. Tell Ozzie to go screw himself. Where's Jerry? What about the fans? Us? Kenny should go. Ozzie probably should go. But I don't want Ozzie to go. How could anybody watch this? At least the Royals try. What's the point when we're going to lose our next 17 games? How is this acceptable? Something needs to be done ASAP. I want Ozzie fired. No, I don't want Ozzie fired. Who could do better than Ozzie? Nobody. God f***, greg. How do you type like this? This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) You forgot... Why can't we ever beat AL Central opponents? 3-5 against the Royals? 7-29 against the Twins? Why does everyone get up to beat the White Sox, be we can't get motivated to face the Royals or Orioles? Bruce Chen? C'mon. I just turn off the t.v. when I see he's facing us. Mark Teahen is abysmal and sucks as a player. Juan Pierre is the 3rd best hitter on the White Sox. This team is the most frustrating White Sox team I've ever watched. Rios/Dunn/Gordon/Morel can't hit their way out of a dry as Kansas prairie paper bag with the Green Lantern's blowtorch as a bat. (oops, that's me) Ozzie will win every single NL East crown for 14 consecutive years and become the next Vice President of the U.S. He will take Marco Rubio's Senate seat after he becomes President in 2012 or 2016. We will miss Ozzie and will never ever compete again in the AL with Joey Cora and fans will be clamoring for Terry Bevington to return. JUST WIN BABY. Any move that Ozzie makes can never be second guessed if the White Sox win. Bobby Jenks is the most underappreciated closer in Sox history, at least since Roberto Hernandez. I will probably get banned if I say what I really feel. That does it, I'm quitting SoxTalk. Should have written shorter sentences. B- effort. Greg, we love you! I've been mocked more times than you around here, trust me. Edited August 2, 2011 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 KW is worse. I have no problem with Ozzie, hes a good manager. I honestly think hes doing some of this s*** on purpose so he can go to Florida and get away from the clueless GM he is stuck with here.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I can think of a solid 3 or so GM's who are worse than Kenny Williams. I can't think of a single manager worse than Ozzie Guillen right now. There are times watching games where I am tempted to wonder if he's ever seen a baseball game before. They're both awful, but Ozzie wins based on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 For the Guillen apologists, please list out the reasons why you think that he needs to stay here as the manager of our ball club. I'm trying to objectively come up with reasons why he deserves to stay and I'm struggling to come up with anything other than he's entertaining with the media.

kwolf68 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am no fan of KW, but Ozzie brings shame and embarrassment onto the White Sox. His handling of Alex Rios was the final straw for me...I'm finished with this joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta agree with Little Hurt, here. Ozzie has had a woeful season, though. His mis-management of the outfield and Peavy stand alone.

I'm not sure he's worse, but you make a more than reasonable point. It wouldn't be hard to make the case that the two worst managers in baseball are employed by teams in the same city.
