Ozzie Was Just Protecting Our Kids From the Dangers of Modern Television - Gregor
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was obviously frustrated by six months of shabby baseball when he went off on his team after Saturday night's ugly loss to the Tigers.
Without mentioning any names like, say, A.J. Pierzynski, Guillen lashed out at his players for watching college football in the clubhouse after blowing a 5-0 lead to Detroit and falling 12-5.
Ozzie was calm and collected Sunday morning at the Cell, and he explained what really set him off.
"From a manager’s point, listen, I have (Alexei) Ramirez, Carlos Quentin, Gordon Beckham, and I've got (Chris) Getz," Ozzie said. "I have (Tyler) Flowers. I have seven or eight kids. The problem we have in baseball is that the people who run this thing, they let players do whatever they want to do, and that’s why they do whatever they (bleeping) want to do.
"My job is to teach those kids that’s not the way to do it. I never tell my players what to do or how to prepare yourself, but when you lose a game and all of a sudden you look around and they are watching another thing, that means you are teaching the kids: ‘Don’t worry about it, this is the big leagues. If we lose a game, who cares? We are out of the pennant race.’
"No, it’s my job and I criticize everybody because a lot of people say baseball's change. No. People who run this game make baseball change. I’m very old school with a new era of baseball.
"I have to teach these kids it’s not the way we should handle this stuff. If I let that thing go away, then I don’t have the power and the right to tell the kids in the future what to do because it was like, ‘Well, two years ago, you let
them do it.’
"My plan is to see those kids grow up and manage the White Sox for a little while. Believe me, anyone who is going to play for this organization, they are going to learn how to be a professional and how to handle things the right way. I see it around the game, players do whatever they want to do."

I get where he's coming from, but...
I’m not sure he can do a damn thing about it. Among the egos, agents, money, etc, how much change can he actually effect?
It is what it is, and while he has every right to vent, I suspect he’s powerless to do anything except make out the lineup card.
Bottom line, makes good press but means nothing. As if Leyland tells his players not to smoke, or LaRussa telling them not to drink.
And if your (Larry) buddy Kenwo is reading, fuck LaRussa. Another example of bloviating with no memory of how he actually managed. He’d (Kenwo) be the first to scream about Tony trading an out for a base in the first inning at Fenway… As he was wont to do.

maybe under larussa they would be able to execute the bunt
because he wouldn’t just bitch about it in the media and claim that they work very hard on fundamentals in spring training. Larussa would pull their ass if they didn’t get the job done…not just threaten it like Ozzie. It would be nice to get a manager who was a thinker instead of one who is looking in the stands for the nicest set of hooters.

AJ has actually been one of the few vets that I am not pissed off at this year. I knew it had to be him because he is such a big Florida football fan..
In the 14 to 0 loss against the Royals, AJ was one of the few that stayed by the bench. You could just see he was pissed off and upset. He doesn’t have a ton of time left and I am sure he’d like another ring.
We have the pitching staff to do it over the next few years… we just need to start producing again.

No one has anything to say about Hudson?
Cheat? Colin? Wondering what your thoughts were on his second start. Clearly his command wasn’t great and was helped by some stellar defense from Pods of all people. Still had stretches where he looked pretty sharp though. Even threw a pretty good curve to strike out Inge.

we've given the go ahead on his stuff
it’s all about figuring out how to use it (i.e. control/command). so, in that sense, the boxscore was pretty indicative. as for extra curriculars, if he’s going to add a pitch, we’re probably not going to see it now.

No discussion.

Someone did mention how closed his stance is compared to last year.

But where would he play? An OPS under .800 ain't good enough for a corner,
and Rios is too expensive for his bat to be anywhere other than CF, right?

Just about to post the same question
He hasn’t played the OF extensively since 2006 and even then he was a poorly rated one.
by Shakey on Sep 28, 2009 12:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If not for the Rios signing, I'd have suggested the same as OSFIB.
Now? Someone to replace Dye or Quentin would be more in order.
Unless I’m wrong about the OPS not being enough for a corner. That’s possible…

All in all...AJ is just another brick in the wall.
We don’t need no college football
We don’t need to watch TV
No beer and poker in the clubhouse
Ozzie leave those Grinders alone
Hey, Ozzie, leave those Grinders alone!
All in all…the Sox won’t play baseball in the fall

OZZIE GUILLEN IS A JOKE
Because of pride he doesn’t start preparing for next year by giving young guys playing time…nice going ozzie. Every other team in the bigs does but apparently you are special and know something everyone else doesn’t. Wake up call!!!! It’s professional sports. At the end of the day it is about staying healthy and making a pay check. IT IS A JOB. Not that they don’t want to win but it’s baseball. It’s an individual sport inside a team sport. It’s a business. He thinks he can control what guys do? Managers in baseball are purely there to help a teams chemistry and not much more. Looks like he’s done a great job with that.

2 cups peeled and diced turnips and/or rutabaga
2 cups peeled and diced beets
6 cups of water or mock chicken stock or vegetable stock
2 teaspoons salt
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme and/or dill (1 teaspoon dried)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
5 cups rinsed and chopped Swiss chard or spinach
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

this recipe is hilarious
yes, you need pseudo-food like turnips and mock chicken stock, but for gods sake, make sure you fish out the bay leaves. Because, that would really ruin the taste…

It's common belief (even if incorrect) that bay leaves are poisonous to consume....hence, most recipes will have them removed prior to consumption.

Obviously the lack of Jewish representation
on this thread is the reason for the vitriol. Day Of Atonement today for The Chosen Ones. Ask for forgiveness for being pricks all year long and try and do better is the mantra I’ve just heard for the last 2 hours. And I come home to this. Fer Chrissakes. I know it’s tough to not continue playing, but get over it, already.
2010 Beckons. Hope. Kiss 2009 goodbye, forgive our boys for being mediocre, and let’s move on.
So you think Zambrano has more value than Peavy? You are an idiot.

Well said, OPOS
We have the Bears, College Football (for you proud alums), and the NBA on the horizon. With our dominant starting pitching, we’ll win this craptacular division next year and return to glory.
