southsider2k5 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I love the occasional "poor Ozzie" stories. If he wasn't such an idiot, he would have owned this town, and ran Kenny Williams out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) I love the occasional "poor Ozzie" stories. If he wasn't such an idiot, he would have owned this town, and ran Kenny Williams out. This is true, except I don't think he could have run KW out. Ozzie is getting paid by the Marlins to do nothing. He left the White Sox with a season left on his contract because he deemed himself too important to be working on a contract that was expiring. There are millions of other people with a lot bigger problems than Ozzie Guillen, and all of his are self made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) I read the article in the Trib this morning and this isn't an exact quote but he said something along the lines of, "A lot of people would be happy to see at me USCF and a lot people would probably hate to see me. I don't know why they would hate to see me though, I had done a lot of great things for them." That pissed me off. I would show apathy, I mean, if I were there. I honestly would not be able to care less. I keep coming back to the ex-gf thing, but that's how I would feel. It's like, "oh cool" or "oh hey, how are you, welp, see ya," or "(say nothing)" or "[smile and nod]" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about circumventing Kenny and "winning" whatever game it was they were playing with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This almost made me pity Ozzie, then his son got quoted and I was reminded this is all Ozzie's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ozzie has more money than he knows what to do with. I agree, all of his problems are self made. Good riddance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Bob Brenly also won a World Series title. The Diamondbacks thought so much of him that they fired him after a 29-50 start which was after they traded Curt Schilling to the Red Sox and sent a huge package of prospects for Richie Sexson (who played 23 games with the DBacks) and gave him a pitching staff full of junk pitchers (as well as Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb). They league thought so highly of him as a manager that he's never gotten another chance to manage in the major leagues. World Series winning manager =! a good manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I wonder if Ozzie is more a Map Room guy or a Danny's guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think even back in 05 or 06 when times were good the rest of MLB had a different view of Ozzie than most Sox fans did. I don't think that view has changed much since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hipster enough for Danny's and not douchebag yuppie enough for the Map Room. Actually, I haven't been to Danny's in a couple years. I'm sure it's just as douchebag as Map Room now.

Chicago White Sox Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 04:47 PM) If Ozzie could have stifled himself he'd have worked forever. His resume will forever include the only Chicago WS title in modern history. Odds are neither Chicago team will win another one in the next 20-50 years so he's going to be a legend a long, long time. Baseball is different. Too much money out there in other markets for a Chicago team to win one. The Marlins' owner was furious at him when Ozzie made some potshot about how everybody was to blame including the owner. Bye bye Oz. That owner in Miami, prick that he is, wasn't going to stand for that. Stop f***ing trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) Who is starting these threads about f***ing Ozzie? It's not greg. Should I not respond in the two recent threads about Ozzie? Just give it a rest...you throw out the same garbage over and over again and never listen to any else's counterpoints. You also make outlandish comments like "Ozzie is guaranteed to win a World Series with the Marlins" and despite being horribly wrong on a regular basis you keep flinging this same crap against the wall. You're clearly trolling, stop f***ing denying it. Also, did you really just speak in the 3rd person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not post much and have learned never to respond to anything you say. However, if you are not a troll, then you are the biggest enigma in the history of Soxtalk. Your quirks are finely crafted and your comments tailor made to generate frustration on the part of your peers. You consistently express simple childish beliefs you stick to no matter how much they defy logic, or more importantly, how many times intelligent debate illustrates the glaring flaws in these beliefs. For a while, you were the mentally handicapped brother that everyone put up with as they felt sorry for you, as you had no control over your disability. I would almost be ready to assume you were real and just a simpleton with internet acces. However, when you talk about how you really are a smart guy and how you have a family, I am convinced you are full of it. You were like our Fredo, but the entertainment value of your posts has long passed. Please go away as your commentary only diminishes the value of this site and makes us all dumber for having to read your drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
