Ozzie is a fucking clown

Sounds to me like Ozzie is under the impression Dunn isn't going to work there. At least this year....but a comment like that surely wouldn't sit well w/ AD.

Is that really how bad Adam Dunn is? We didn't have space on the roster for Thome with Kotsay and Omar as the DH, but now we have space? **** you Adam Dunn, **** you.

ozzie has to learn to keep his fucking mouth shut.

I dont see Adam Dunn being this player next season, I believe a move for Thome would be a couple of things.

1) PR move. He is beloved by sox fans

2) For the potential FAKE playoff run that we could make ( making sure people understand, I dont think they make the playoffs )

3) what gets buried in all of this is the future HOF player who has played in big markets (philly, chicago) and knows about expectations....He may have a vital role in helping Dunn get over this mental issue(s) that he is having. The Dunn thing is all mental at this point. He needs someone to maybe guide him.

that is a bit ignorant the "**** you dunn" part.

The part that is fact is that Ozzie,NOT KW, wanted a rotating DH and an extra arm instead of Thome. Ozzie has some issues.

I agree with your #1... PR has to be the main motivation for this potential move. Give everyone something to smile about because the team isn't making the playoffs this year. It's too bad he hit 600 already. That would have been a bright spot on this otherwise disappointing year (much like #500 was).

Unfortunately, bringing him back doesn't change the mistake that was made in getting rid of him. Ah well.

I'd love to see Thome back in the uni. I think he is a respectable character the guys looked up to in the locker room during his time here. No one ever said anything bad about Thome, nor did he ever put anyone down.

I agree, no one did. I mean sure we thought he might need to adjust to being a DH and his numbers might not hit his career, but his line now? wow! its pretty bad.

The dude has never failed.

I still say a lot of the fans that were in the corners of their bedrooms beating off to pics of dunn that turned into dunn haters will be singing his praises come next year.

I'd be happy to have Thome for the last five weeks. Would Dunn then be off the playoff roster somehow you think?

Put me in that category. Still. <3 Adam Dunn.

The same people that hate him hated PK in 07/08, and love him now. Morons.

Heard he was claimed off waivers by some team... and IIRC the Sox would have been second to KC for an opportunity to claim him... because it goes to your (Minnesota's) own division first, from worst record (besides them) to best record... or am I mistaken? So maybe the Sox claimed him.

I still don't see how the playoffs are out of the picture for the White Sox :shrug:

Ozzie never shuts his mouth, I'm not surprised one bit by this. Get his ass the **** out of here...

Back on topic though I'd love to see Jimmy back on this side of town :yep:

I think 5 games is what is viewed as within reach, but once you get 5.5 or 6 it gets to the point where everyone gives up, and the Sox are at 6.5 now.
