Things couldn't get any worse for Sox
I've been a White Sox fan for many, many years. I cannot even remember when the Sox looked so pathetic. Hitting is not there and from the vaunted pitching staff that was supposed to be in place in 2010, I see disaster.
Who do you blame? I blame Ozzie. He was the one who supposedly called the shots regarding the makeup of this horrible team. The Sox won a World Series in 2005. Was it Ozzie who should take the credit, or did the team just jell at the right time?
Giving praise to Ozzie is like calling Casey Stangel a genius too. The '50s Yankees did it themselves. Stangel was not the reason.
Ozzie has a big mouth and cannot manage. Every game, he juggles the lineup, because he does not know what to do. His own players laugh at his antics, while most fans are laughing at them, too.
The whole coaching staff is pathetic, too. Greg Walker obviously cannot teach hitting. Reinsdorf should just as well hire Jose Canseco, like the Cardinals hired "juicer" McGuire. Let's just make everything ridiculous. Joey Cora was the worst third base coach in the history of organized baseball. And look at the trainer for the Sox. He's about 75 pounds overweight. Nice example, huh?
Just keeps getting worse and worse. And then there is Kenny Williams, the ultimate dreamer. He brings in all the old "shoes," thinking these "experienced" players can bring the team to victory. Ken Griffey Jr. was a real boneheaded move. And Omar Vizquel, well there is another bad move. Andruw Jones is not the player he was when he was with the Braves. More Williams' wishful thinking.
And then there is Alexi Rameriz. Why is he still here? Why, because once again, Ozzie thinks he can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Get rid of Rameriz, move Beckham to shortstop, put Nix at second and get some new blood in the coaching ranks before this team becomes the laughing stock of professional baseball.
There is only one man who should be kept with the team at all costs, and that is the "Sod Father." At least HE knows what he is doing! If you want me to manage the team for the rest of the season, just give me a call. I couldn't do any worse!
HELP!!!
