No one could have said it better, he and his son eat out of the same trough. They both need to be shipped back to Venezuela and never be allowed back in the U.S.

I live in Chicago and I can tell you right now – there was a radio report that got leaked and then immediately was tossed out, but … “the very bad things” comment Ozzie made, and the “if Oney said everything he knew about Jenks” comment, it supposedly refers to Jenks having a cocaine problem and one of those “family issues” he was excused for, was actually for him to go to a hush-hush rehab facility. There was a period there, where Jenks was gone for about two weeks, not a few days. I’m not saying this is all true – I have no clue, but I heard this on the radio and then it was curiously swept under the rug, before it could snowball (no pun intended) into a bigger news story. So, who knows?

Jenks always was pretty jittery on the mound. Hmmm …

Aren't you maybe confusing a BJ with a blowhard?

Nobody outside of Chicago gives a rat’s ass what Ozzie or his tard kid think.

My father, a former minor league pitcher, really mentored Bobby. He was a close friend of their family, really loved that kid. I don’t know what happened. He tried to call Bobby last summer and none of the phone numbers were good. It’s consistent with the little I know.

I’m beginning to believe the White s Soxx are haven for guy’s secrets. I men after Kenny Williams destroyed Frank Thomas, you’d think these guy’s would learn to keep their mouths shut. And from any other manager this would be a slaying. From Ozzie, it’s just ahot across the bow. And WAY out front. If I was Jenks, I’d just shut up. And if I was Jenks’ wife, I’d start asking my husband what the hell Ozzie was talking about

Was Kobe Tai involved in any way?

(Unlike most of her movie write-ups, this one is ok for work)

Just another episode to remind me of what an immense relief it was when the White Sox extended that dimwitted blowhard and squelched any rumors he might be coming to the Feesh. I was kinda wondering why Edwin Rodriguez looked so much better to me this spring than he did last fall, and this just reminded me.

Are we sure that this was actually Ozzie pouring benzene on a grease fire? When was the last time the Ozzie-to-English dictionary (Guillen edition—not to be confused with the Osbourne edition) was updated?

I don’t hate him. As a Cubs fan you would think I would hate the White Sox manager, but I don’t.

More important Jerry Reinsdorf LOVES him. Ozzy beats Kenny 99 times out of 100 if one of them has to go.

Say what you want about Ozzie; but he still has that World Series ring on his finger and there are lots of managers in both leagues that can’t say that. Plus he amusing to say the least. He never gives you can responses like a lot of managers. You want the truth just ask him.

Regardless of all this, Ozzie is one funny dude. I think Jenks vs Sox this year should be pretty good. I bet Hawk is already waiting to explode in the commentary box over it all.

I thought they had to get him the heck out of there quick before Buehrle mistook him for a black bear and shot him with a bow and arrow. A game reserve and a baseball field have alot in common ya know. Like fences.

Ozzie Guillen is a scumbag, always has been and always will be. His own GM hates him. Everyone hates him. But he wins, so he keeps his job. He also makes the world of twitter a better place. His son is just a stone-cold douchebag though and someone needs to smack him around.

Well. And I thought Gomes v Wainwright was interesting. Jenks v Guillen & Son is really shaping up. Sox v. Sox this season could be an affair to remember. Anyone got Bond’s baseball-armorer’s number?
