Ozzie Guillen finds a way to get 5 extra wins

And he doesn't have to lift a finger! Just get Santana out of the Twins:

"In the past, they haven't been an organization that has traded players away at this time of the season. They usually look to add a piece. Johan is the face of the organization. He is frustrated and might be saying stuff he will regret, but I can see why he said it. If Santana is leaving that organization, that means that we will win at least four or more five games a year. I hope he moves out of there. I'll be glad. I hope he goes to the National League and wins 40 games there."
BTW, Joe Cowley's latest: The Sox (and Tigers) have copied the Twins model, only they've have thrown more money in it. Yeah, just look at our farm system.
*****

In other news,

  • The Sun-Times says if Gavin Floyd continues struggling, Gio and Egbert "will jump over him quickly in the team's plans."
  • The Dugout takes on yesterday's Sox game.
  • AAA OF Ryan Sweeney is bothered by a sore wrist.
  • Rob Mackowiak, in his 1st start for San Diego, went 2-for-5, with 2 runs and a stolen base. Oh, he also batted leadoff.

And here's the latest Palehose 7 strip: The Most Rehabby Man in the World.

Why does Ozzie say this kind of stuff?
I feel like I got kicked in the chest when I read it. I can't understand how it can possibly help.

The word that comes to mind is IMPOTENT.

It truly is a shame
Ozzie can't manage the Venezuelan National Team instead of the Sox.  Then it would make sense for him to incessantly opine on Johan/Maggs/Freddy/Felix/Miguel/etc.

Shut the eff up and perhaps give some insights/strategy on YOUR freaking players, for Chrissakes.  If I hear about another from Team Pirhana I suggest we put a few down his pants.

Already.

Can anybody here play this game?

Listening to the Cubs / Mets broadcast.
Mets let their hitting coach go during the All Star Break, "felt they weren't getting enough men on base.

Mets, BA  .271, OBP  .335
Sox,  BA  .246, OBP  .318

Mackowiak in the leadoff spot?!?
I wonder why nobody could have possibly thought of that while he was here. Too bad.

three strikes and you're out
you'd think baseball would have adopted such a plan.

Steve Howe got, what, 7?
And look how well that turned out for him.

As a former addictions counselor it is sad to see how NO sports league really is interested in healthy players.  But baseball really takes the pipe hard in a comparative sense.

Can anybody here play this game?

yeah
i'm sure most fans are not aware that the increased suspensions don't carry over for positives for different drugs.

for example, while perez has 3 positives now for an amphetamine, if he tested positive for steroids the suspension would only be his first for that and wouldn't be his fourth. absolutely ridiculous.

idea of the moment
can you put a clause in a player's contract saying something like 'if the player is claimed on waivers his contract triples'?
so you could be sure the player doesn't get claimed, but clears waivers and then you can trade him?

by The Wizard on Aug 3, 2007 5:59 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

it's not a bad idea
that's probably why it would be prohibited.

by larry on Aug 3, 2007 6:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It would be pretty shrewd
reminds me of that clause the Vikings put in when they tried to sign Steve Hutchinson. If I remember correctly, if the Seahawks wanted to match the Vikings offer, a clause in their offer sheet would trigger making a HUGE portion of the salary guarenteed.

I'm sure MLB would put a stop to such a clause, because then every single team could do that for every player effectively ending the non-waiver deadline.
