What was White Sox manager OZZIE GUILLEN ranting about the other day?
If you ask me, he has nothing to rant about. Sure, the White Sox arent playing up to their ability now but they are in first place in the Central Division.
Answer: He wants to see more productivity out of his line-up he has been asking for that for almost two years. He is also an extreme nut job who just blasts off without thinking!

Are you happy that OZZIE GUILLENs White Sox are gonna get swept?
Ozzie guillen is a mumbling idiot nothing against his team but he is a classless bumb, are you happy he is gonna get eliminated?
Answer: I'm an Astros fan who has hated Guillen since we faced them in the 2005 World Series. And you're right, he's a smart ass jerk. I was pulling for the Twins to win against them in the tiebreaker but that didn't work. But it looks good now for the Rays. I hope they sweep Guillen and the Stinky Sox in three.

Is anyone else hearing humors that Ozzie guillen will manage the braves next year?
I hope not. Since he is so great on the sox.
Answer: Those rumors were from a while ago, before the Sox turned things around, and Ozzie was "at risk" of being fired. Obviously, he was never going anywhere to begin with, and especially not now. Ozzie IS the White Sox, so he's here for good! d:D
And who knows..... those earlier disputes between KW and Ozzie..... a part of me wants to think they were actually fake, just to dial up the drama for the show for MLB Network.

Should the Chicago White Sox fire OZZIE GUILLEN and sent him back to his Venezuelan dictator pal, Hugo Chavez?

Answer: So what if he's buddies with Chavez? As long as it doesn't interfere with his manegerial duties who cares who he's friends with?

Do you think OZZIE GUILLEN deserves to be fired as the manager of the White Sox?
The White Sox won the World Series in 2005, and they still have the talent to win another championship, but theyre still underperforming, and dealing with so many injuries, and they still cant hit. If Ozzie guillen is fired as manager of the Chicago White Sox, will his legacy be remembered as the Dynasty that never Will be?
Answer: You answered the question yourself - they are dealing with so many injuries. Ozzie has led this team to a World Series title, and has not had a losing season yet. Also - he has the pitching staff doing great. Sure - they are not hitting a thing. But didn't everyone predict here that they would battle for the bottom of the division? So I see it that since they are only a few games out, and have not played well - they are doing great than! What happens when they start hitting?

White Sox fans, how do you feel about OZZIE GUILLEN now versus earlier in the season?
I defended Ozzie earlier in the season and thought a lot of you were not being fair. There were a lot of supporters though to be fair. Ozzie is Ozzie in my opinion. Hes got the Sox 15 games over .500 and one of the better records in the league.
Do you like Ozzie or do you want him go at seasons end?
Answer: I like Ozzie, always have. When his team is not performing, he lets them know that it isn't acceptable, and most of the time these loud awakenings are just what they need. I don't care that people say he is loud or rude. He does what it takes to make his team perform to their ability, regardless of what people will think about him, and he has done a great job.

How many out there applaud OZZIE GUILLEN for throwing the political correct BS out the window?
I think its great that he just said what he thought instead of worrying about who wouldnt approve of what he said and all of that kind of crap. Like he said, "Hes a man, hes 42 years old, and he knows what he has to do in this life." Basically hes telling Selig to stick the bull-s-h-i-t sensitivity training up his political correct a-s-s. Ozzie guillen has my absolute respect for being a man and saying what he felt like saying, hes no a-s-s kisser and hes no yes man. We need more athletes, coaches, and/or managers like Ozzie guillen. Atta boy Ozzie, stand up to the little weasily pricks in the media, YOU DA MAN!
No, Bartmooby, he was just being a man and calling an ace an ace and a spade a spade. That takes b-alls, but you might have a problem understanding that considering that you are a woman. Its not the same for men as it is women. If Women have a problem with someone they just go talk all kinds of crap about them behind their back and deny it to their face. Ozzie, being the real man that he is, said what he said and he stood behind it showing great character instead of apologizing or backing down. He knew it wouldnt make too many people happy, but he said it regardless. He knew what kind of backlash he would take from the pansy a-s-s-ed public and the obnoxiously PC media, but he didnt care what they thought. Cowards and weaklings come and go, but real men survive. Women and cowards stab people unknowingly in the back, but real men will punch you right dead in the mouth if they have a serious problem with you and thats the way it should be.

what does my used OZZIE GUILLEN bat worth or how can i find out?
Im 28 years old and i was given a Baseball Bat by Whitesoxs Player, now Manager, Ozzie guillen. It was his actual bat in which he walked up to me and handed it to me. It was maybe about 15 to 20 years ago he gave it to me. Its got his name and number 13 on it. Im trying to figure out if its worth anything or if at all. How do i go about finding its worth and who should i take it to to get it appraised?
Answer: Man, e-bay is the way to go. Set your prices a little high if you want. Maybe shop it around some bars or hobbie shops.

Who is going to keep an I (eye) on OZZIE GUILLEN and Carlos Zambrano?
Both Ozzie guillen and Carlos Zambrano are known to be hot heads, even during their time in Chicago where Carlos Zambrano played for the Chicago Cubs, and Ozzie guillen manged the Chicago White Sox. And now they are together on the Miami Marlins, and they are known as friends even through they worked for rival teams in Chicago baseball, so who is going to keep an eye on them now?
Answer: It's a time bomb ready to go off. When it does it won't be pretty. I wouldn't count of their friendship when it comes down to player verses manager. Zambrano has a big problem with authority. Guillen thinks he can use filthy language to get his point across. Either way MLB will have a big problem on its hands. Personally baseball would be better off without either one.

Answer: I agree, and with 2 runners on in the ninth, and 2 out, should of had Konerko bat for Swisher, I know Swisher gets on alot but he draws walks, Konerko could possibly had a hit to tie the game.

I guess being an AL manager doesn't take much effort, but I would be surprised if Ventura succeeds in Chicago.

OZZIE GUILLEN?
okay, so i was watching the cubs vs. white sox today on WGN and before the game, they showed him talking about Wrigley Field. He said that its a museum and the amenities are bad. he said that he really didnt like playing here. i personally love going to the games at Wrigley and like the food. Is ozzie just saying those things to get attention like everything else he says? or does he really hate Wrigley Field? your thoughts about The Friendly Confines and Ozzie the Spaz would be appreciated.
Answer: I'm a lifelone die hard Cubs fan who has been going to games at Wrigley since 1969, and, I hat eto say it, i agree with Guillen to some degree. The bottom line is that Wrigley is 94 years old, and is showing its' age. Compared to the newer stadiums, the tunnels are narrow and dark (and under the stands, as opened to behind them in an open concourse), the parking is an absolute horror, and, infortunately, a good number of the folks attending the games are not true fans, but bandwagon jumpers who spend a good amount of their time in their cell phone, waving to the cameras, and seeing how many Bob Chinn's Mai Tais they can polish off before alcohol sales are cut off.
On top of that, the visitor's clubhouse is terribly crowded, the training rooms are less than state of art, and the hitting cage is badly lit.
I do find it funny that Guillen complains about the parking - I would think he could afford to hire a cab for 3 lousy games a year. And I know he has said something about the seats his familty has had in the past at these games - funny he hasn't mentioned the fact that Jim Hendry provided Guillen a luxury box for his family and friends today.
I think the last few days have shown what a truly classless organization the Sox have become. Kenny Williams all over the media, blasting Cubs fans for not getting excited about the Sox winning the World Series in 2005. Guillen calls Wrigley Field the worst in baseball (guess he manages in Tampa Bay with his eyes closed), then says that, when he and Piniella were filming the commercials they just did together that it "took them 3 weeks to find a double for Lou - for mine, you just go to a model agency," Taking pot shots at a manger , or anyone else, for his physical condition, particularly one who is about 20 yuears older then you, is just plain cheap. And Ozzie, you may be thinner then Lou but I don't think you're gonna be on any most beautiful persons list very soon.
The biggest problem with the Sox is that they just can't accept the fact that the Cubs are, and probably always will be, the most popular team in town. In 2005, when the Sox were in first place the entire season, and won the World series, the Cubs outdrew them with a losing team. And in the following season, which is usually when teams that are World series winners draw incredible crowds, they again got out drawn by the Cubs.
Perhaps if a little more energy was spent worrying about improving their team, broadening their fan base, and perhaps not acting like they have been beaten like a bastard step-child, they would not have had the complete collapse the last half of 2006, and the disaster that was 2007.
Chicago's a big city, and is obviously capable of supporting 2 teams. The sooner the Sox realize that the way to win fans is by improving their product rather then criticizing the Cubs produst, the better off they will be.
