I love his vague references to stuff he has heard. He does that s*** all the time. We won't be worrying about Cowley much longer, the Sun-Times can't pay him to follow the Guillen family around forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Steve9347 Steve H. @cst_Cowley The Sox are going to miss a guy who openly admits he lost his passion for managing their team two years ago? cst_Cowley cst_Cowley I really do like Jerry Reinsdorf - whether he believes that or not - I just feel bad he has some serious liars in his midst. cst_Cowley cst_Cowley @Steve9347 Until the games started, was the quote. Get it right. If you heard what I did, you would understand why.

Then it s*** on the rug, pissed on the sofa and ate my kids new shoes. That $12M puppy is no longer embraced. It can't fend for itself so I am stuck with it.

nitetrain8601 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) I have yet to see anyone add the words "until the games started" to Ozzie's quote. At first, he didn't say until the games started, then it seems like he noticed what he was saying, and then he said "Of course, until I got to the ballpark, but as soon as the game was over and I left, I didn't have it. I used to. Cowley is severely hurting his credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Greg, serious question, what would it take for you to stop supporting Ozzie Guillen? Like, what would he have to say and/or do for you to stop caring about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it should be said why it sucks. If I had a twitter, I'd tell him it's awful because he's trying to play both sides and failing miserably. Ozzie didn't change, but yet, Ozzie admitted the past few years, he changed in terms of passion for the game. How it used to always be there, but now it wasn't until he showed up at the ballpark. Which one is it Joe? I'd be willing to hear the full story, but he won't spill it, even after Ozzie has nothing to lose now. And it's not like Cowley has credibility to lose. Everyone of his peers has been throwing shots at him and he does and says nothing. He just tells everyone, they don't know the full story, but won't even tell it which leads me to believe, we do have the full story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's where we agree to disagree. I love Ozzie Guillen. Greg- I want you to consider something. You seem like a very loyal guy. Loyal to players, coaches and managers that had a lot of meaning to the organization. Even well after their prime, you defend them. There is something good about that. But let me ask you this. Let's say you are in Jerry Reinsdorff's shoes. He too is a very loyal guy (which alone should tell you something here). The organization has had multiple disappointing years in a row, despite your spending of a lot of money. You've got two people under him, that over the past month, have done this: Person #1 offered to step down to a lower role due to the failures of the team. Person #2 asked repeatedly for a raise and a long term contract, despite those same failures. So, if loyalty is your game... which of those two do you keep? Because it seems to me that you are backing the wrong horse here, based on your own admitted tendencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I read something today comparing Ozzie to Ditka, and it was eerily similar. They also said they wouldn't be surprised if Ozzie's tenure in Miami goes a lot like Ditka's in New Orleans. What's also peculiar is the Marlins obviously tampered. The fact that the Sox don't call them out on this just shows how much they really care Ozzie is gone. Also read where Ozzie's contract is 4 years $10 million. Not bad, but not the $4 million a year many reported. Still its a $700k raise from 2011. If I got a $700k raise, I'd be pretty happy about it.
