Ozzie's act grew very old very quickly and getting rid of him was a blessing for this team. Initially it seemed he'd be great for young players but he quickly grew out of that phase and moved on to preferring veterans above all else and it really hurt the Sox in the long-run. I'm glad Ozzie's gone and am going to be just fine when he stays gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Only way Ozzie gets a job with this club is if it entails carrying a mop around and having to clean Mr. Kenny Williams' s***ter every day. A very sloppy Kenny Williams, I would presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 After reading every word of that article, I am now a big fan of Robin and Kenny Williams. Read their words closely. They praise Ozzie incessantly. Class acts of them to praise Ozzie. I wonder if Maddon would bring in Ozzie as Cubs 3B coach or if he has a problem with Ozzie. I think Robin would do it but can't because of his mouth. Just the chance he might do even one interview is too risky. His words obviously would come out as second-guessing Robin even if he didn't mean that. 3B coaches rarely get interviewed once the season starts, but it'd happen with Ozzie occasionally and one interview would be too many. I loved Ozzie's quotes about the Marlins ruining his career. It's amazing how that owner quickly soured on Oz. Man, when Ozzie made those comments about the owner, that was that. I do worship Ozzie and I say that knowing if I ever met him, he might offfend me or get in my face. He's that unpredictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Rome Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I been around a long time, and I can say the Ozzie years were the most entertaining since I was a little kid. Regardless of his perception with most folks here, he did keep the Sox on the front page and on the AM radio stations. Name me one Sox manager in the last 50yrs who anybody cared about listening to? I know what you are going to say, all you care about is winning, but there's more to it than that, it also has to be provacative. thanks, douglas Edited December 30, 2014 by Douglas Rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the positive press the Sox got in that era was related to them winning. All of the press the Ozzie got that WASN'T related to winning was negative and distracting. Any manager could have gotten us the positive press if we won a WS. In order for you to argue that Ozzie was responsible for that era being "entertaining," you have to argue that he was an absolutely necessary condition for them winning the WS. I can acknowledge that he was a contributor that year, but I don't think anyone can make a non-speculative argument that they couldn't/wouldn't have won with any other decent manager instead.

southsider2k5 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 For example, how do we know that a manager with a better demeanor doesn't have the team collapse in 2007? Or that Robin's calm at the wheel approach doesn't see the team miss the playoffs in 2006 because they are more relaxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
