fathom Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:27 AM) If they didn't like playing for him ... good luck to them with the next guy. They liked playing for him until the KW/Ozzie soap opera started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 hawk said the manager and general manager have to get along but for whatever reason there was a lot of discord. Our team doesn't have a dominant personality. so it took on a ozzie's personality, but he was more subdued and team took on that subdued personality. sounds like he sides with Kenny over Ozzie.

Clearly, as Ozzie's become a parody of himself he's become a distraction to the players. Talking to Florida while managing the Sox is close to unforgivable to me.

fathom Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hawk made a great point about how much of a distraction Ozzie making his desire to have his contract extension during a 5 game win streak for the Sox might have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Strong comments from Hawk against Ozzie. Basically said Ozzie changed the last few years and that the players didn't like it when Ozzie asked for the new contract after they won five straight games. said the team was starting to pressure the Tigers and that wasn't the time for Ozzie to pop off.

He turned his greatest strength in taking the attention/pressure away from the team to help keep them focused into a selfish act that made matters worse.

Wasn't it Cowley that said KW is the one that changed after 05 and Ozzie has been the same guy? lawl. Ozzie can take Cowley with him.

kevo880 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Just got off work and, must say, am pretty stunned to hear the news with 2 games remaining in the season. I don't have time to read this whole thread so can I get a quick update? Is he just being released and then signing with the Marlins or are they working out a trade?

The Sox will indeed be getting compensated. Just have to wait a little bit for that to be official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 released with the clause that any team that hires him owes Sox compensation. allegedly two minor leaguers from Marlins. unsure how good they'll be, but I don't expect much.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:31 AM) Hey, Greg was just a year off! 1.) He should hold out for 4 years. I still wouldn't be surprised if it's four year deal. Three years ain't bad, though. 2.) Give me a break. He will manage there a long, long time IMO. Great part of the country; he likes NL ball; team gets very little media attention so no need for him to be stressed. 3.) How do u know? It's not official yet. At least give me credit if it's announced 4 years like u are calling me out prematurely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
