ozzie, that crazy guy

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick ranks his favorite Ozzie blow-ups. I agree with #1 and #2, but #5 shouldn't receive a rank to someone who can read between the fucking lines. Actually, this article as a whole provides nothing new.

Why post then? I was curious, what's your favorite Ozzie quote or moment? It doesn't have to be a blow-up ya'll.

For me - and I can't find the article that has the actual quote - but it was in 2005, and Ozzie described his use of Jenks analogous to riding a thoroughbred, that sometimes you gotta yank Bobby a bit to get him to behave. Fucking old school...

One of my fav Ozzie moments

was when he signaled for Bobby from the pen by putting his arms in front of him, signaling, “Bring out the fat/big guy”

yeah, that was some good shit

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

“It’s killing me, it’s killing my family. It’s killing my coaching staff, it’s killing White Sox fans, it kills the owner. It’s killing everyone. I just hope it’s killing [the players] the same way we feel.”

The SSS motto should be the answer to "What is our deepest fear?". Or maybe just Prozac.

I enjoyed when he melted down in Sept. 2005

when the lead was whittled down to a game or so. Threatened to quit/get fired. Was beautiful to see the gag reflex. (Which shows how much better we are than the Scrubs, because we didn’t choke it all away.) But seeing our Fearless Leader throwing a shit-fit in crunch time was the best, especially since it all turned out OK.

The Butkus year - time to knock everyone on their ass.
