ILSnwdog Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (laughedatbytime @ Sep 27 2011, 05:45 AM) Ozzie Guillen will no longer be around the South Side of Chicago to make things interesting. He's resigning and will end up with the Marlins just in time for their new stadium. I hope the Sox promote Joey Cora. I think he would make a fine manager. Ozzie's time has come and gone. It was time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was time to move on. Why would the Marlins trade for a manager who was going to be fired in a few days anyway? Oh well, at least it works out better for the ChiSox that way. I guess Guillen really was their guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cora, not so much: http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com...297882/32312942 Is Kenny Williams on the way out? He thinks he should be, Reinsdorf thinks otherwise. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/1565091...d-to-step-aside And now for the Tigers, who trail for the #2 seed by 1 game to Texas. We need Texas to lose, but sadly the Angels did us no favors by refusing to start their 18-8 pitcher today. Detroit should win, but what I want to do is to catch a limping Red Sox/Rays team coming into the playoffs. More than that, I don't really want to see the Yankees in the first round, but rather in the ALCS. But since we're going to have to beat them anyway, I guess now is the time. If the Tigers win and the Rangers lose, Detroit is the #2 seed. I see St. Louis wrapping up the Wildcard in the NL. I think the Red Sox hold on and get the AL wildcard.

Nootch Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I would much rather catch the Yanks in a short series, especially with Verlander and Fister seemingly unbeatable. It'll be tons o fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Kenny Williams is trying to get Reinsdorf to fire him, right here. Talk about a move that just went horribly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get his ass kicked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
