Marty34 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) I loathe Ozzie Guillen. What an idiot. How do you feel about Peavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) Ozzie making ridiculous managing decisions. (Dunn, stewart) Who did you want to pinch run? Anyways, Ozzie is a f***in moron, every time you think he can't get any f***in dumber he does s*** like this. I'm sick to my f***in stomach.

dyuen Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) That inning is a perfect image of this whole season. Rios/Dunn being awful. PK being great. Ozzie making ridiculous managing decisions. (Dunn, stewart) and DeAza hitting a double and dayan getting a hit in th 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please PLEASE PLEASE try and defend Ozzie for today. I would love to hear a logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Shouldn't it be f***ING obvious to our manager that Dayan should be hitting in the 4 slot? Who else do we have with CQ on the DL? Rios should not get another AB all year. You really can hang this loss on Ozzie as well. He's a f***ing idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) How do you feel about Peavy? Peavy still gave the team 5 innings despite an absolute suck fest in the first. But the problems with this team stems from the manager and his terribly wrong use of players like Dunn and Rios. It would be one thing if he was forced to play Dunn and Rios and had no other alternatives. But hey...he does have alternatives and they're all pretty damn solid. It's like Ozzie wanted to lose the damn game. Edited August 31, 2011 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 officially on the fire ozzie boat now. I'm done. Fire KW as well just for contributing to the cat fight. Such an easy call, it's not "armchair manager", anyone in their right mind would not have Dunn and Rios anywhere near this lineup. No excuse....other than of course a petty hissy fight between our manager and gm. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The Giants DFA'd Rowand. We can make a trade. Dunn for Rowand. Of course the years don't match up but I rather pay 12M to Rowand for 2012 than I think 14M for Dunn for 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) ^^ x infinity That last pitch was a hanger, a cookie, but Rios figured Nathan would try to get him to chase something bad at 0-2 and had his mind made up, because he's ALWAYS GUESSING!! Now, if DV was batting behind Konerko, and providing, VMart, Youk,etc., like protection. . .? Do you think the Tank would have taken that meatball? Konerko could well be more monster-like with some real protection, possibly, maybe? Ozzie, the maestro.

If I remember correctly, Bekcham's homered off Nathan before (the good one). That's wasting a player for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
