RockRaines Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Worst thing to happen to the Marlins was by far Ozzie Guillen coming to town. What a s*** show. And to think we actually got a player in return for him? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippedoutpunk Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 this team has been tough to watch all season, but man its fun to watch giancarlo nail some sick HRs. I really hope he doesnt join the yankees one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You Oz haters sound like Kansas fans who hate Roy Williams for leaving for North Carolina. All he did at Kansas was win, just as Oz won in Chicago. Don't.Get.It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Key difference of course being that Roy Williams was incredibly successful at both Kansas and North Carolina, whereas the White Sox were mediocre, inconsistent, and lackadaisical in Guillen's final 5 years. He has now gone on to Miami and has had an even worse record with an arguably more talented group of players. I think it would probably more comparable to how Bears fans laughed at Mike Ditka when he coached the Saints. He had a really good run in Chicago but it was time for him to go, and then he took on the Saints job and proceeded to win 15 games in 3 seasons with the team.

He abandoned Chicago for greener pastures because he couldn't win the war he started against Kenny Williams. If his ego weren't bigger than his desire to win games, he would still be the manager of the White Sox. I.Get.It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then he goes to Miami and does the same stuff. I would be surprised if he isn't fired before his contract is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) He gets at least half of 2013, then all bets are off if the team's still underperforming and more or less healthy. Edited August 21, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his ego weren't bigger than his desire to win games, he would still be the manager of the White Sox. I.Get.It. At least we agree KW was the winner of that war. No matter what Ozzie says in the future, he has to face the realization Kenny defeated him fair and square. Jerry was the one to choose and he chose KW. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) Nice, gregbot is back. Where did I go? Luckily for me and everyone I was in chicago last weekend when the Sox got owned by KC. I probably would have freaked out in various threads.

He definitely has a reality check in Miami working for the Loria wacko and his spoiled son. I'm sure Ozzie has had to sit in on endless nonproductive meetings like other people in America with horrible bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people hate the concept of Ozzie Guillen and if they'd watch his interviews more they'd start to like the guy more. I think he's funny as hell. Sure he's got an ego as big as Mt. Rushmore, but so do most big leaguers. Robin is an excpetion. He was a great player but doesn't seem to have an ego at all. Good for him; prolly because he is a Midwestern bred kid, going to Okie State. College helps some of these guys grow up. To me ... Ozzie is one funny f***er and I don't give a flip about his kids. Those are spoiled brats, raised with money, money, money at all times. Don't care what his kids say; I know some of you do. I think Ozzie is a riot.

I will never understand why you love him so much, I don't think he is particularly funny. He has said a few things I laughed at but when you talk as much as Ozzie that is bound to happen... If you were in Chicago instead of KC which gives you more of an outside perspective you might feel different about Ozzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
