Team turmoil
The laughter over a three-man prank before batting practice turned tense Tuesday as White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and Orlando Cabrera expressed a gulf of difference over the alleged lack of support Guillen has lent toward his shortstop.http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/But those words were mild, at least in tone, compared to the verbal exchange between reliever Octavio Dotel and conditioning coach Allen Thomas near the first base dugout while Guillen talked to reporters. Third-base coach Jeff Cox stepped in before tensions escalated.
Thomas, through a team spokesman, declined to comment. Dotel joined the rest of his relievers down the right field line during batting practice and was unavailable for comment.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I blame Frank Thomas.
And Greg Walker.
And Juan Uribe.
Lousy bums.

OC leads off with a 2 pitch ground out.
So that’s what happens when you care about your own stats and your manager doesn’t have your back. This team is doomed!

the suntimes has nothing to do with it. some people – not me, mind you – are saying there’s some problems with team chemistry. i’m not naming names but it starts with a certain telephone happy middle infielder.

Just so I get this straight...
two seperate incidents occured:
1) Cabrera claimed Ozzie doesn’t have his back.
2) Dotel got into a heated arguement with a training.

So, anyone else really excited about the future wasserman sighting tonight?
Only guys with big salaries like me can afford a hat like that... HEY I'm a guy like me!
clearly if this p.o.s. team could just get a clutch single
the sox wouldn’t have used the entire bullpen last night and we wouldn’t have to worry about nick magic or ehren wassermann tonight.

Konerko last night

Cleveland announcers are laughing
at the ineptness of the Sox, Wassermann’s pitching motion and not looking at the plate, Konerko’s play and Hall’s bobble. Baseball can be fun.
Wassermann did his job
and even made the fake to third throw to first play work for the first time in memory. We have Cleveland at a bad time for them and cannot take advantage, that’s not good.
or when dotel did it a couple weeks back?
