February 28, 201115 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) "He showed up once a week to pitch," Guillen said. "We were loyal to him, played him. I was a very bad manager because I kept him as my closer when he couldn't (close). He's got to look himself in the mirror. Too bad. I still love his kids and wife. " I think in this entire exchange this quote is the worst part. I always just asusmed Ozzie was crazy loyal but still felt that Jenks turning things around was crucial for our bullpen, not that he just threw a closer out there he knew had a 50% chance of blowing games. Ozzie. Damn you for both making me love you and want to punch you. I'm pretty sure he was at least partially sarcastic there. You can hear it in the audio. I'm sure part of him thought Jenks would get it turned around, too, but to say that wouldn't be much of a dig at Jenks.
February 28, 201115 yr It's too bad we couldn't start this season with a new manager. I love this roster.
