:lolhitting

 

I guess when you are wrong, just look the other way.. You want to prove Ozzie was the problem, then gave some examples.. which were debunked, then attacked on other things.. and now try to save face, by spinning again.

 

Look if you can't come up with examples, then we are done.

 

Sez the guy who hasn't proved anything when called on it? Please.

You mean the Vazquez who left the Sox and had his career best year the very next year? The one who dropped his era 1.80, his whip 0.3, 1.8 less H/9, 0.3 less HR/9, 0.8 less BB/9, and 1.2 more K/9?

 

Nah, I don't know why I would think he got better once he left Chicago.

he got better because hes had one good year since he left? lol

This isn't about me, this is about you.. And YOU Proving Ozzie is the problem, but since you can't... you make it about me, to save your face.

 

I have. I have given examples, stats, trends, and pretty much anything else.

 

You haven't given a damned thing other than conjecture.

 

I am still waiting for your answers on the many things people have questioned you on, that you have ignored.

so since the sox were supposed* to win this year and sucked because ozzie, since it will be almost the same team next year, i should fully be expecting a winning season next year with a new manager?

 

If Ozzie is replaced, and the team largely remains the same, it will be a great test case for whose fault 2011 was. (though I think at least a couple of major pieces get dealt in the off season.)

If Ozzie is fired, it won't be because of this year alone. It will be for perpetually underachieving for six years in a division that should've been ours to dominate.

There's no way this will be "Almost the same team" next year.

i want ozzie gone but im just not like everyone else, blaming every single sox problem on him, like dunn

 

I don't know that anyone is really blaming Dunn's failures on Ozzie. It's being used as a counter-point to the pro-Ozzie arguments that absolve him of all responsibility for a player's performance.

Yes, because Greg Walker hasn't taken a lick of heat for Dunn's failure. lol. Ozzie gets blamed, rightfully so, for running him out there over and over and over again. It was clear by July that the dude was toxic waste. "But Adam makes $14 million. He got to play no matter what."

List out those 6 years please.

 

2006: second-half collapse

2007: 90 losses

2008: barely won the division; dismissed with ease by Tampa.

2009: sub-.500 record

2010: another second-half choke

2011: team-record payroll; 15 games out.

 

That's a whole lot of fail. Especially when the top 3 AL powerhouses are in the AL east.

its funny how everyone thinks its that simple. dunn blows and its may, june now july, dont play him. he clearly had to. just like the cubs with soriano and the giants with zito,etc. we arent there to see what ozzie is being told by jerry/kw. and just becuase kw comes out and says play whoever you want doesnt matter the money, yea i dont buy that. im sure ozzie would have loved to bench dunn in may.

2006: Zero Bullpen, and zero help at the deadline... OOO and lack of CF which is a theme for a while..You give Ozzie some Bullpen help and a starting CF.. Different story.

2007: Erstad was the fa-king opening day CF.. Sorry this is one of many Sox teams that was lacking talent. so many holes, so little talent

2008: Carlos breaks his hand, Swisher is opening Day CF ( which IMO was his worst position) which is also a overreaction since Erstad failed to pan out. I think we all wonder, what would have happened if Carlos doesn't break his hand, how far could they have gone.. I do agree the talent looked completely overmatch compared to Tampa, but that's Ozzie's fault?

2009: First see 2007 then Another KW, draft pick goes belly up in Josh Fields, so zero 3b, until they rushed Beckham up to save.. Zero CF, until KW thinking he is blocking DET get Rios off the waiver wire. ( that worked out well for us huh?)

2010: Jenks( do I need to say more?) he should have been traded at the end of the 08 season IMO, Beckham regress, and drumroll please, when they needed RP, Kenny went out and got them SP.. Though on the bright side, the Sox have their first CF since Rowand left.. 4.5 year later. Or so we thought.

2011: KW built team that is "All IN" but mostly strike out.

 

I'm not at all thinking Ozzie is perfect... But, the majority of the problem with this organization starts with Kenny. And I saw earlier you mention both should be fired.. I agree. But if I have to pick one to get fired.. Kenny is the guy.

Ozzie Guillen was the one who put Rob ****ing Mackowiak and Darin Erstad in as his CF starters!!!!
