White Sox fans, if you think watching the battle back and forth for first place in the AL Central requires a stress relieving object, try being one of the Sox players or coaches. After the Sox lost three games (and their first place standing) in Minnesota, they came home and got beat by the Cleveland Indians in a very sloppy game where their pitching collapsed. It was extremely frustrating to watch the bullpen forget where the strike zone is located.Â
“You can get mad, I got mad, breaking stuff up in the clubhouse…I think it’s the worst first five, six innings we’ve been through in a long time. Hitting guys. Walks. Base hit with two outs. Wild pitch. Terrible. And we got 40,000 people looking at this stupid baseball game the way we played today,†Ozzie said in his post game press conference.
By the way, if you haven’t seen the Mad TV parody of Ozzie Guillen, click here. If you thought Ozzie was a difficult person to lampoon, then you really need to check it out.
 “I’m not going to lose my health for a baseball game, I got three kids and a wife waiting for me. I’m not going to kill myself in this ballpark over losing and winning, it’s not worth it,†Guillen said. For baseball fans that hate the White Sox, the second most polarizing figure, arguably, is catcher A.J. Pierzynski. A.J. was asked if Ozzie’s trashing of his own office surprised him. “No, it’s an emotional time and he’s pissed off, I’m sure he’s frustrated like the rest of us and it’s good. Sometimes you need to get that out. And I’m the last person to get on anybody for showing emotion. So good for him and hopefully, it will carry over to tomorrow,†Pierzynski said. When asked about the same thing, first baseman Paul Konerko responded: “He could have been ripping up offices for the last three weeks; we’ve had a lot of these.â€
So the next time you feel like cursing at the television and throwing objects in frustration, “don’t look back in anger,†as Oasis used to say. Remember these quotations. They will remind you that the White Sox themselves are feeling the same emotions you are.

I was at the game and it was F*$@en horrible to watch. They must of changed pitchers at least 5 times. The upside is that I got to see Ozzie get really pissed off and slam some things on the ground…that was f&$&en awesome.
They better pull whatever out whatever is in their f*$#en a@!es and start playing like f*&$en baseball players or else I’ll round up some blind guys myself!!
Let me rephrase:
Get their f*$&en s*(% get together and start playing like real f*&#en baseball players. I’ll be really f*$#en pissed if the Cubs win it all and we didn’t make it past the f*#&en division series!
This is the worst choke job in history!!!!
Pitching Sucks!!! Everyone Sucks!!!
Diddy Out
I wish the Cubs the best in playoffs, hey its not their fault we lost 5 in a row when all you have to do is win 2 or 3 to punch your postseason ticket.
I heard some fun stuff tonight. More f bombs…off the record of course. Things are getting desperate here. Hopefully we can tag Billy Butttercup or Brian Beldinger or whoever is filling in for C Lee tommorrow
