Heads22 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2010/06...r_a_bit_an.html No thanks So now that the Sox are back in the Central Division race and are now potential buyers, it was only obvious that Guillen was asked what he would like added to his roster. His response? "Nothing,'' Guillen said. "When I talked to Kenny earlier in the Winter Meetings and earlier in White Sox fest, I always liked this ballclub. I don't know why, but I did. I like the ballclub sometimes, and I don't like the players. I like what we have. When we was bad I looked at the lineup, and I showed the beat writers the lineups. We don't need anything. I hope we just continue to play [well].'' I know you all will enjoy this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Bye, bye, Ozzie. I've had enough of his crap. But I'm pretty certain Kenny won't make the same mistake twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Even if Ozzie's words mean nothing in the long run -- whether he's blowing smoke or really has no say in personnel -- it's still annoying to read quote such as these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in hell Kenny makes the same mistake twice. There's a division to be won. KW will do whatever it takes within his power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'm thinking Kenny already learned his lesson... Ozzie will never be anybody's GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 A manager telling the press that he wants his GM to add to his roster suggests that he lacks confidence in his players. So of course Ozzie's going to tell the media that he doesn't want to add anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 05:14 PM) Bye, bye, Ozzie. I've had enough of his crap. But I'm pretty certain Kenny won't make the same mistake twice. What does this even mean? Bye bye Ozzie. Are you going somewhere? Because Ozzie isn't. You've had enough? So what? You have no say in this what so ever, so it doesn't matter. What is Ozzie supposed to say, "I want a new ________" (fill in the blank) and then who ever is filling that role at the time is spending the next few weeks looking over their shoulder?

So of course Ozzie's going to tell the media that he doesn't want to add anybody. Really though, what's the guy going to say? He can't name underperforming players specifically and he's not going to publically state that he feels his team needs help. He has to show faith in his guys whether he believes it or not. The only thing that bothers me is that I think he believes it, he believed it in March and he believes it now. Though that really shouldn't matter.

bjm676 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 If the Twins go out and get Cliff Lee, then you better believe that Kenny will try and top/match that as far as big splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought me saying bye, bye Ozzie meant Jerry was going to look at my post and fire him. GMAB. Of course Ozzie isn't going anywhere...for now. But if you think he's got life-long job security because of one fluke year you're crazy. How any sane manager could look at this offense and say "add nobody" and mean it? Well, there's really nothing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of course Ozzie's going to tell the media that he doesn't want to add anybody. That was cute before the season started. But 11 games doesn't change the fact this team is lacking offensively. I don't think certain guys would be traumatized if Ozzie could act like a normal manager for once and say something like "whatever makes us better."

BigSqwert Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 And anyone delusional enough to agree with Ozzie's quote needs to have their head checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, how would the Twins' players react to this? Like, wouldn't that be the ultimate slap in their faces to go out and add one of the best pitchers in baseball? Liriano would never recover!

Steve9347 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Wow, Mark Kotsay is our DH and Ozzie's cool with it? I don't buy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be just fluff. It still annoys me. Because with Ozzie you don't know if he really means it or not. I had no problem with his comments before the season. But you would think nearly three months in you could recognize the obvious weaknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 There is not much he can really say here. He wants to show the players that he has now that he has full confidence in them. Its like when Tiger Woods said he was sorry for sleeping with all of those women. He wasn't sorry he did that, he was sorry he got caught. Say what the people need to hear (in Ozzie's case "the people" being his team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ozzie's an idiot, the world keeps on turning. Hopefully, Dayan Viciedo is knitting a storyboard quilt about this in the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't really care if Ozzie believes it or not (I think he does) but I'm tired of hearing dumbass comments like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this shocking. This was his view from the beginning. Do you really think that all of a sudden Ozzie is going to rethink his thought process.

Well, there's really nothing to say. Did I say anything about job life-long job security? If Ozzie wasn't fired when this team was nearly 10 games out, he sure as hell is getting fired now that their right back in it. I don't think Ozzie believes what he said, but at this point in time, its the right thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 If Ozzie didn't want to make changes two weeks ago, he definitely won't want to make changes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeynach Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Well its a good think Ozzie isn't in charge of player personnel. There is no way a guy like KW is going to be fooled by this statement. If the opportunity is out there to add quality piece Kenny will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I love that I get s*** for hating on Peavy for talking stupid, but Oz saying EXACTLY what the f*** he is supposed to gets flamed here. Absolutly ridiculous, whats he supposed to say? "Yeah a few of these guys suck ass, we should go get someone. This team isn't good enough" This place is hilarious sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
