  1. He’s doing some of the best marketing for MLB, out thee. Awesome.

  2. Now we just need a battle of the Ozzie’s, bring in osbourne!!!

    Reminds me of the old staurday night live where they had “Paul Simon” on the show, and both showed up :)

  3. Zambrano is going on a full week’s rest. They need to try to build those breaks for him in the season when they can. He looks like he’s got his best stuff today.

    I’d never thought I’d see a time when the biggest problem both the Cubs and Sox have is scoring runs.

  4. That’s a bad image of Ozzie on the shirt, but then again it’s pretty much impossible to accurately depict constantly flapping gums on a lifeless t-shirt.

  5. The Tribune has a great picture of your manager sticking his face into some kid’s birthday photo-op at Wrigley. Stay classy Ozzie!. What is he, a third grader playing the clown routine or the bully routine? Shouldn’t he be filling out a lineup card or something?

    For a second, I thought that t-shirt said “Ozzie blows at Wrigley.” Come to think of it, that gives me a marketing idea…

  6. ===That’s a bad image of Ozzie on the shirt===

    No kidding. Can you imagine Sam Zell hiring Ozzie to do his landscaping work?

    Oh, the outrage.

  7. 80 pitches from Zambrano on the day in 5 innings. He had a whole week off, and is built for a large number of pitches, but not great for Cub fans. Meanwhile, Floyd’s got 50 pitches through 4 innings, despite a few walks on the day.

  8. I’ve looked at that t-shirt for a good 2 minutes. Can someone explain to me what it means?

  9. Nevermind, I get it now. Prejudice at its finest.

    Comment by 19th Ward Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 2:36 pm

  10. 19th Ward, were you looking for subtlety or humor?

    Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 2:39 pm

  11. Sox up 1-0. Z walked Pierzynski intentionally to face Brian Anderson, who knocked in Dye from 2nd. Go Sox!!!

    Comment by South Side Mike Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 2:44 pm

  12. 5-1?

    lol

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 3:15 pm

  13. ===5-1?===

    It’s 5-4. What you talkin’ about?

    Comment by The 'Broken Heart' of Rogers Park Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 3:34 pm

  14. best comment from Ozzie re the prejudice of the shirt….”I’d rather be mowing the field than selling t shirts in the rain.”

    and he’s managing big league style!

    Comment by Amy Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 3:35 pm

  15. Oops. Make the 5-5.

    Comment by The 'Broken Heart' of Rogers Park Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 3:35 pm

  16. Eat that Rich

  19. 6-5?

    lol

    Comment by Tweed Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 3:59 pm

  20. If the State of Illinois can pull off a comeback like that, we’ll all be just fine.

    Comment by Sewanee Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 4:04 pm

  21. Nice win for the North Siders. Twins won too. It’s basically an up day, Sox fans!

    Comment by Reality Check Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 4:29 pm

  22. Keep talking like Blagojevich and you’ll end up that way.

    Just sayin…

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 4:30 pm

  23. That shirt should say “Ozzy’s new job when he gets fired from the Sox’s”

    Comment by Deeda Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 4:33 pm

  24. Derek Lee hit another one of his mammoth hrs at wrigley.. what did it travel 361 or 362 feet?

    Comment by Reggaeman Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 5:03 pm

  25. Hey, my power went out for awhile. Could someone tell me what the final score was…

    Comment by Easy Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 5:17 pm

  26. A good team woudn’t have looked as anemic at the plate as the Cubs did yesterday, or blown a late 5-1 lead like the Sox did today. A match made in heaven, at least this year so far.

    Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 5:25 pm

  27. Wow, Ozzie, first base open, two outs. You gotta walk Soriano and make Theriot beat you.

    Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 5:56 pm

    He was busy looking for the mower.

  29. HEY RICH!
    6 to 5? LOL.

    Comment by Eurepedes Pantsoff Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 6:41 pm

  30. Talking about losing ugly by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    The Sox give up 6 runs, but only two of which are earned, and 4 are unearned. Conversely, the Sox score 5 runs, all of which are earned.

    Cub fans got a gift for sure; but I am not sure I would be so quick to call it a victory.

    Comment by Quinn T. Sential Thursday, Jun 18, 09 @ 10:06 pm

  31. Last time I checked Quinn, we don’t measure wins based on earned or unearned runs.
