Ozzie’s taunts doom White Sox.
It just gets stupider and stupider for Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox.
Yesterday, in the midst of blowing a four run, ninth inning lead, Texas Rangers closer CJ Wilson found all the inspiration he needed in the opposing dugout – when he heard White Sox manager Guillen taunting him.
“I didn’t have good stuff, and then I got angry when Ozzie Guillen started yelling at me, and I just took it to another level,” Wilson said of striking out Jim Thome and Paul Konerko looking to end a 12-11 Texas win. “I wish I could have taken it to that level right away and then been out of there with a couple of pitches.”
Now, Ozzie’s boca is costing his team crucial games.
This is especially satisfying as we were watching the game yesterday in the Clubhouse Cancer executive offices with a notorious White Sox fan and consummate Guillen apologist.
You might be on to something, but I'm still convinced it was Jose Contreras having one working pitch, the team as a whole stranding 13(!) baserunners (including twice leaving the bases loaded) and Paul Konerko going 0-for-6 that did them in.
