White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen

White Sox lose in 14 innings Thursday Night/Friday Morning to Seattle, and Ozzie Guillen blows up, again. Audio courtesy of 670 The Score In Chicago. It’s not really news if Guillen blows up, it’s just a matter of what did Ozzie say this time. Did he call out a player by name? (Jose Contreras) Any racial slurs? (Jay Mariotti) Or just a bunch of profanity mixed in with his thought? (Other 90% of the time)

This time around it was Ozzie being tired of watching bad baseball and running out of things to say. His quote, “I’m only going to say two things, I’m tired and I don’t have anything. … It was 2 1/2 hours of satisfaction and then 2 1/2 hours of horse [bleep] baseball. Go ask [the players]. I don’t have any more quotes, seriously. What the [bleep] am I going to say? They’re horse [bleep]? Yes, they are.”

Ozzie is frustrated, as well as anyone around this White Sox team right now, for a couple of reasons.

1. They are in a horrendous division, that could’ve easily been won by any team at the beginning of the year
2. The Sox spent a ton of money this year and went out to get Alex Rios and Jake Peavy to push them into the playoffs, which most likely won’t happen
3. Finally, despite their horrific road trip at the end of August, they could still have made a run at Detroit, based on Detroit’s poor play in September.

The Sox are exceeding most statistical projections this year, but that’s not the point. Ozzie sums this Sox season up best here…

“This is a tease, man, it’s like when you have a girlfriend and you are kissing her all over … and she says no. That’s where we are right now. That’s the way we are.”

The White Sox have a 2.4 percent chance of making the playoffs. Those are better odds than when the Bulls  won the NBA Draft Lottery in 2008.
