White Sox Sign Freddy Garcia

good grief.

Garcia and the Jugs machine will now battle it out in Arizona.

not just yet, but i'm a-waitin' for it.

Can't find the audio on the site, the "manager's show" isn't Ozzie with the quotes in the article or melting down; he seems calm.

Colon isn't good. Contreras wasn't really dominating the minors. Garcia isn't going to really do much. Is it time to start questioning the Sox' pitching depth, if they are a contender.

Although, anyone think that KW pulls some huge move out of thin air really soon? KW has known to both surprise and cater to whims of Ozzie.

i knew 86mets would strike sooner rather than later.

rex, it's on the boers and bernstein podcast from today, a little more than halfway through.

contreras is looking ok through 4, but i'm over him, along with colon and sure as s*** garcia. you're right about the pitching depth, and it feels weird to say that.

if KW did storm out of the clubhouse, i hope it was with cel phone in hand.

freddy garcia is a tomato can

@ pariah...
What can I say, I can't stand the guy. He may be the only manager in the majors that makes me glad the Mets have Jerry.

Firing Ozzie would be a great move if you ask me...He's good enough with in game moves, but he can't handle himself in a professional manor.

I wouldn't see bob melvin come in. I also wouldn't mind seeing joey cora take the job

Ozzie is not the problem. The Softball type hitters are. Kenny Williams didnt make the moves during the winter to make the team better. I'm sure he's on the phone trying to do what ever it takes to improve the club. The Sox should be on the phone trying to trade Jermaine Dye to the Braves for Jeff Francoeur and a prospect. Send Octavio Dotel to the Phillies for John Mayberry

i heard that david wells and estaban loiza are next, just because they worked a few years ago don't mean they work now, i see kenny swinging a big deal soon though, he hasn't this season yet he has to be antsy by now

White Sox getting ready to announce their latest signing of Shingo Takatsu and Cliff Pollite.

Seriously though, it's a minor league deal. Low risk, low reward.

They're getting the band back together. Seriously, they aren't counting on Garcia to do anything. Ozzie's giving his nephew-in-law a job, just to see if he has anything left in the tank.

Also, that "blow-up" does not even register on the Ozzie scale. Big deal - he said if you're hitting 210-230 you should at least be able to execute. Anyone disagree?

I don't see this as any difference maker. If he is good enough to make the team, than maybe he can help, but it's more likely he's just signing on so he can retire as a White Sox. I doubt he sees any time in the majors.

I think Ozzie should be going off on his players, they needed a kick in the ass with the way they were playing. They got shut out 3 times in 4 games, they are an all or nothing team, and they probably have the worst average with runners in scoring position in the whole league.

and 86 Mets, I'm glad you have Jerry too, he was god aweful when he was with the Sox. He had 3 better teams than the one that won in 05, and couldn't even make the playoffs. I know he made it in 2000, but that team wasn't better than 05.

Any news on Betemit? Is he gone for good or sent to the minors? I hope he's gone.
