Ozzie Guillen is falling apart in front of our eyes...

[1] (No wonder there choking. That doesn't look like a steal sign) And it's hilarious. The White Sox lost for 19th time in, get this, the last 24 games last night 5-4 to the Marlins. And because of that, Ozzie has a drinking problem. I don't know that for a fact, but every time the guy gets interviewed after a loss, which as been pretty damn frequent, he always looks half drunk and beaten. Hat pushed up like he doesn't give a shit. He talks real fast and quiet, almost like he's trying to hide his accent. This looks like the beginning of the end for Ozzie Guillen.

Jon Garland had only given up 2-hits when he came on to pitch the eighth holding a 2-1 lead over Florida. But he gave up a quick lead-off single to Aaron Boone. Then a bunt by Brent Carroll exposed the reason why the White Sox have lost 19-of-24. Garland couldn't make the throw to Juan Uribe, who was covering second base. A wild throw which would of kept the tying run from advancing. What was meant as a sacrifice, ended up as an error 1. Jenks, whose really been the teams only reliable reliever, replaces Garland, and three pitches later, the ball is over the fence and the 2-1 lead is gone. And you find yourself 11 1/2 games back in the AL central.

Personally, I never liked Guillen. Ever since the World Series championship season, a couple years ago, he has been way to cocky. Way to cocky. I have a lot of trouble dealing with people who are speaking out of their ass when they can't even speak the language out of their mouth. It's easy to talk shit when no one can understand you, isn't it Ozzie.

Ozzie is the same manager now that he was before the series. Nothing has chnged. And wouldnt you be drunk if you ahd to watch the crap that is going on right now. On paper at the start of hte eyar we should have been a solid team. However, for some inemxplicable reason, we cant hit and our bullpen has been horrible. Our starters are the only reason that we are in games. Do you know how many of those 19 games we were leading in the 7th inning and outr bullpen blew a lead? Feels like every single one of them. Its maddening and none of it is Ozzies fault. He is getting frustrated because everything he tries isnt working. Not to mention a rash of injuries to the people that make our lineup go. Thome has missed time, Crede has been hurt most of the year and the only three people on our team that have speed(Pods, Erstad and Ozuna) have missed significant chunks of time. And for the record, Garland made a good throw. Uribe short armed it and it got away. He is a normally sure handed defensive short stop who has been playing horrible.

Hogpage doesn't seem to appreciate the Hispanic language. But no worries, EVERYBODY knew exactly what Ozzie Guillen said about Jay Mariotti last season. And you know what? The manager is absolutely right.

Anyone would look half-drunk and beaten if they had to answer questions every night from columnists* of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Ozzie sucks Clayton. I do appreciate in the Hispanic language. Except there one small thing you are missing. He isnt speaking the damn language! He is speaking English! He tries to act like hard-ass when he's not and has no business trying to be. He just thinks(thought) he was the absolute shit. Now he's got nothing.

Guillen's biggest failing this season is his inability to relief pitch.

Loved Ozzie's quote about his players having it made getting paid for losing. Wish more managers would be that honest.

Haha. That's what I LOVE about Ozzie. He's so honest.

Everyone talks about how bad of a manager he is nowadays. I guess it IS because of his bragging and taking his talent for granted that they keep losing. But he DID help the White Sox advance to a World Series and win it. When the White Sox are hot, they are ON FIRE!! Ozzie is a great guy, and he helped the White sox dominate in '05. They only lost 1 game. Ozzie Guillen needs to find his old self, the person that he was 2 years ago.

Ozzie Guillen knows how to manage a team, but maybe Pierzynski is involved with this situation of why he's bad. (Somehow, some way...lol)
