Ozzie fired less than two years removed from a WS win? Are you nuts?
Jack Mckeon fired 7 months after winning it all.
Hardly a new thing.
Ozzie will get run by the end of the season unless they turn it around soon.
Actually, it was 2 years removed. And he wasn't fired, he QUIT. Didn't surprise anyone since he was 74 at the time.
There is no way in hell Ozzie will be fired no matter if they finish last. Why don't you put your money where you mouth is?
We got ourselves a bet.
BTW, if he quits, dies or any other thing I win.
Regardless of reason. If he is not the manager of the SOX on opening day I win.
Uh, no.
I'm gonna hold you to your original statement "If Chi-Sox don't finish in the top 2 of their division, Ozzie will be FIRED." If they do finish in top 2, then the bet will be null and void.
$250, it is.
Thats BS.
If he quits I should win.
There are alot of times where the team lets a manager resign to save face.
Most of the time when a manager resigns its only to avoid being fired. quiting and getting fired is the same thing 99% of the time.
I will take out the death clause, but not the quit clause.
Holy cow.... why are you already trying to weasel out of the bet? Your original claim was that Ozzie would get fired no matter what. But I let you include the "unless he finishes in top 2" provision, now you want to include death and quiting also? Would you also like to include if he becomes comatose from an auto accident or if he's kidnapped and held for ransom?
What if the Yanks can Torre and offer Ozzie twice as much money to come manage for them? That would be the same as firing to you?
Yea thats happening.
What if the Yanks fire AROD and offer Julio Lugo twice is much as they are offering AROD?
