Balta1701 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 05:36 PM) Public confidence. How will that be changed by doing something with Ozzie before the World Series rather than after? And why will taking a step immediately be judged to be positive and not flailing? And why does anyone care about "Public Confidence in the White Sox" in the middle of October anyway? The only rational reason why Public Confidence in the Sox when everyone is watching the Bears would matter is if Season Ticket Renewal/purchase deadlines happen at the end of October.

DukeNukeEm Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 White Sox go from fun bad under Ozzie to just bad bad under someone else. Oh well, usually when ST gets something it really wants they look back on it 12 months later and berate the organization for doing what they demanded.

I guess fun bad means: - sticking with awful lineups game after game - refusing to try and add energy to the roster by promoting players from the minors - refusing to retaliate as you lead the league in getting your hitters hit by pitch - letting your good friend Miguel Cabrera make the White Sox his b**** - lacking the courage to fire your buddies on the coaching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 yeah there's nothing "fun" about Ozzie making awful lineups game after game after game. There's just something a lot less appealing about boring, good lineups failing miserably than bizarre, awful lineups failing hilariously. What I'm really trying to say is the team he has sucks and he's been thrown under the bus for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the grand scheme of things, it's much more important to restore public confidence in this organization than it is to wait until November in order to acquire Emilio Bonaficio.
