Ozzie Continues to Demand Extension
His open campaign to get fired continues. Best quote?
"Only two gods know, Jerry’s God and the real God know what my future is going to be here," Guillen said before the first game of Tuesday’s day-night doubleheader with the Indians.
It's been real Oz.

"Jerry's God" is Ozzie-speak for Michael Jordan.

Does the team really have to wait till the end of the season?

Has there been an SSS poll on who should go?
I think we should all go to one of the last home games and chant “Fire Ozzie” all 3 hours.
You mean after Greg Walker, right?

I think the 5th Plague already happened
Ex. 9:1–7: “…If you refuse to let him know…the hand of the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses and donkeys and camels and on your cattle and sheep and goats.”
Sadly, this is by far the most plausible Adam Dunn explanation I’ve seen.

Not to wish further harm on anyone, but if it's going to happen anyway
Is there any way the tenth plague could be changed from first-born to second-born?

I'm not fucking watching this
why the fuck is Vizquel getting reps? fucking horseshit. I don’t want to hear about how Ozzie did it so Omar could get a standing ‘O’ in Cleveland either. FOVITE…fovite?
He's either an evil genius, or an evil moron.
Either way, it’s time for some changes.
Furious George! What happened to your beautiful face?!?
And sorry for posting over you Colin.
Just figured Ozzie calling the God of Abraham a false god was kind of newsworthy.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
Well, Ozzie's dismissal of Yahwey puts him only 1 god away from atheism, right? 299 down1 to go?
Trying to score runs with Juan Pierre as your leadoff hitter is like trying to suture a wound in a moving car. You might still be successful -- but why make it so hard on yourself?

I'd almost be willing to say
that if they lose tonight, he doesn’t see the morning as manager.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
Really?
C’mon, I respect your opinion like Ozzie respects veterans but c’mon. I’d be willing to bet it doesn’t end like that. Should i be rooting against the White Sox tonight?
I think Jerry's love for him is/was the only thing keeping him employed with the team.
Calling your boss’ god fake to the MSM seems like asking to be fired.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
It is asking to be fired, but not tomorrow.
Jerry may have decided by now, but the execution can wait two more weeks.
I shant be misled a second time
i think you are taking that way too seriously.
reinsdorf refers to him as the venezuelan jackie mason. i doubt he will fire him tonight because of that comment. And if he was going to do that it wouldn’t matter if they won tonight or not.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
It's also possible that Jerry doesn't take his god too seriously.

Alternate reading
Could have “Jerry’s God” meaning that Jerry plays a role of a god in his life. Given how Guillen goes out of his way to point out what Reinsdorf means to him, I wouldn’t count this out by any means.

This is totally what it is.
Still, it’s F’in hilarious the way he said it.

I think it's more of a stretch that he'd decide to dismiss an entire belief system.

I don't think you're taking into account that English is Ozzie's second language
and he continually display that, despite years of speaking English, at times little nuances, colloquialisms and grammar often evade a lot of Ozzie’s speech.
That’s not meant as a knock on Guillen, just the reality of what is going on. Odds are he still thinks in Spanish and has to translate to English, much like anyone who speaks a second language. This will cause errors.
by notoneyguillen on Sep 21, 2011 11:17 AM CDT up reply actions
So he doesn't think Jerry is the real god?
blasphemy! Cash rules all. Any chance he gets fired tonight?
yeah
didn’t he call his homeland religion voo-doo?

i thought ozzie practiced santeria?
I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.
by thatshortkid on Sep 20, 2011 6:18 PM CDT up reply actions
He don't practice santeria
He ain’t got no crystal ball
Does anyone else find it disconcerting
that Ozzie was planning this trip to Spain when the White Sox were still in it? A call to the bullpen from Spain is what 49 cents a minute?
no. i'd find it disconcerting if waited to purchase until just before he wanted to leave.
because that would mean he’s a fucking idiot. change fees ain’t no thang. booking international airline tickets two weeks before departure? hotel rooms? ozzie don’t make that much.
I kind of figure most guys start making travel plans once their teams are out of it.
The playoffs are the most natural time for everyone other than the front office to take a break.
Plus if he borrowed Hawk’s iPad he could have booked the trip in no time.
Is this the Gamethread?

i’d say get some while you’re at it, but… whatever.
maybe the sox can just suspend him

Are your sensibilities offended?

My preference is for Jerry to resolve this Elijah style.
At the end of the last home game they stand on the pitcher’s mound, they each summon their god and the one who answers with fire wins. We’ll see who the true God is.

Oops. Wouldn't want anyone to be put out by scrolling up to read the article.

harold was still playing good at that time… paco martin was clearly a better hitter than grebeck at that time.

heh... how the hell did this happen?
oops. jesus christ relax larry even your buddy omar vizquel made an error in his prime.

i remember Don Cooper became pitching coach and was replaced by pazik...
he only got 7 weeks. i wonder if they would have left him if the pitching would have been better throughout the late 90s when the pitching was at its absolute worst.
other than my guy mike sirotka.
