What is this? Another exercise in power and stupidity by Ozzie? Like, Manny needs a rest already?
OZzie obviously does not mean it when he says we must win every game when he clearly doesn't try to maximize our possibilities for doing so. Apparently, he still thinks it's early and we have games to squander by not sending in our very best. It should be the best starting nine from now until the day we are eliminated, if we are serious about winning.
Ozzie's clownish and capricious lineups bug the h*** out of me. OBTW, someone calculated that Manny is playing for $124K/game. Maybe Ozzie should pony up that money today to compensate Reinsdorf.
Based on the line-up today, it is very clear to me the power struggle between Williams and Guillen is just getting worse.
We did not sign Ramirez for 30 days to rest him.
The DH by committee was a fisaco and probably will cost us the division.
If nothing else, it opened the door to Twins to sign Thome who has now been elevated to folk hero since Morneau went down.
I just can't see how these two can co-exist much longer.
Who should go?
Frankly, I like to see them both gone.
However, my real wish continues to be new ownership but that's a pipe dream.
