I saw that game where Fox continually creamed themselves over Jose's family's arrival, and if the Mets had been smart enough not to swing when he couldn't find the fucking plate, he would've lost instead of "dominating."

Oh come on now, that's unfair. Just because the guy gave up 9 earned in 2 innings pitched to the KANSAS CITY ROYALS? Give the guy a break. That was a gutty performance, he toughed it out.
Fucking garbage, this team.

That's the frickin' nadir. In 12+ years of following this team, THAT is the nadir. Just abject wretchedness.

"The Chicago White Sox are the chain restaurant of baseball. They are, by definition, white, the absence of color. Their ballpark does not signify architecturally. They have been overwhelmingly right-handed for years. They have not won a World Series since Woodrow Wilson was in the White House. They do not provide free breadsticks. Unlike the rest of us casual diners, Chicagoans have an alternative."

I'm sure the non-white players on the team would be happy to read this.

Also anyone plugging the Cubs as the alternative to the Sox because the Sox haven't won the WS since forever need to like, get real.

"Last night John McEnroe's on MSNBC was a repeat from during the Democratic National Convention. It had a piece in which John Cusack interviewed Barack Obama. At the end Cusack made a point of saying that both he and Obama are Chicagoans. "But," said Obama, "you are a Cubs fan and I'm a White Sox fan. Go Sox."

"The comments he made, I think they were unprofessional, because I was doing my job.... The only reason I did it is because he would do the same if he was on my side. And I didn't make it a big deal because it was Mr. Wetteland coaching first base. If it was somebody else coaching first, I will make a big deal about it because that's the rules. I think you can call up people to be on your coaching staff, but you can't have them on the field." --Ozzie Guillen, White Sox manager, on Buck Showalter's Thursday post-game comments, which questioned Guillen's knowledge of MLB's coaching rules (Daily Southtown)
"Even after the game, I forgot about it. Now all a sudden they come up with his comments and I think it's unprofessional. But when the 'best manager' in the history of baseball talks about you, that means you're on somebody's mind. And when you're beating the crap out of the best manager in baseball, and we beat the (bleep) out of them, it makes me feel a lot better." --Guillen, on Showalter's comments
"To me, I think [Atlanta skipper] Bobby Cox was the best.... To compete against the guy [Showalter] that invented baseball, and beat him, that's something you should feel good about as a rookie manager." --Guillen, on Showalter
"I could have made a big deal about it, but I was professional enough because I respect the guy that was coaching first base.... Wetteland did something in the big leagues. [Showalter] never even smelled a jock in the big leagues. He didn't even know how the clubhouse in the big leagues was when he got his first job...'Mr. Baseball' never even got a hit in Triple-A. He was a backup catcher or a first baseman all his career. Now all of the sudden he's the best ever in baseball." --Guillen
"He told somebody he didn't like me because I have too much fun in baseball. I have fun in baseball because I was good playing this game. And I made a lot of money playing this game...something he never did. And I have a championship ring on my finger. He made comments he's not supposed to be making about anybody." --Guillen
"It's too bad I didn't have to go to the minor leagues to get this job like he did. I was coaching straight up in the big leagues. I was a big-league coach and I went straight to big-league manager. Ozzie Guillen had to do something to take those steps. I only played two, three years in the minor leagues and played 14 years with the same team." --Guillen
"There are so many different things he might be jealous [of]...I was a better player than him, I've got more money than him and I'm better looking than him." --Guillen

I hadn't seen any of this. that is HILARIOUS. Classic Ozzie.
This is my favorite: To compete against the guy [Showalter] that invented baseball, and beat him, that's something you should feel good about as a rookie manager."

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Round 2 between White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and Texas skipper Buck Showalter not only proved to be anti-climatic but also seemed to be the end of the fight.One day after Guillen laid into Showalter because of comments the Rangers manager made following Thursday's 7-3 Sox win, both seemed to want the war of words to end Saturday.Guillen's Friday tirade came in the aftermath of Showalter questioning Guillen's knowledge of the rules concerning replacement coaches at first or third base. Texas had received special permission from Major League Baseball to have roving pitching instructor John Wetteland take the spot of a suspended coach on Thursday, but Guillen didn't know that.After that game, Showalter all but said that maybe Sox general manager Ken Williams should explain the rules to Guillen, and that didn't sit too well with the first-year Sox skipper when he heard those comments Friday.Guillen blasted Showalter, calling him "Mr. Baseball," and insisting that not only was he a better player then Showalter ever was, but had, "more money than him and I'm better looking than him."
