August 5, 201114 yr “Let me explain to the idiots out there, the geniuses,’’ Guillen said. “They say I don’t bench Rios, but the only player I benched because he didn’t hustle, it was Rios, for two days, OK? “Tell these people out there, they think they know baseball more than I do, then send me the lineup that was better without Rios in [it]. Is Rios not playing well? Of course he’s not. He’s brutal everywhere.’’ But he was still Guillen’s best option in center field on the days he played, Guillen said. Pointing out that he has benched Rios for not hustling, Guillen also strongly objected to the notion that he favors Latino players. “You know how many Latino players I got rid of here?’’ he said. “A lot” was the answer. “Thank you, OK!’’ Guillen said. ‘‘Every time the people talk about it . . . it’s a bunch of crap." I hope he's not counting the likes of Luis Terrero and Jhonny Nunez. Let's see, did he get rid of Uribe? I guess. Was that a mistake, probably. Is Ozzie the GM now too, apparently. Cabrera? Yes. Smart move? Money-wise, but O-Cab has won almost everywhere he's gone and we haven't the last three seasons. Freddy Garcia? Colon? I guess...but there were lots of other extenuating circumstances involved. Contreras, I don't think you could say Ozzie "got rid" of him. Just off the top of my head. I'm sure there a lot of more examples that posters will recall. Magglio Ordonez and C-Lee? Yeah, Ozzie "got rid" of them, lol. Jose Valentin, too. Luis Vizcaino? Ozuna? El Duque? Javy, well....you forced the hand of KW on that one and we've gotten back a utility player and a catcher who can't hit or catch very well. Edited August 5, 201114 yr by caulfield12

It's not our fault and it has nothing to do with our approach at the plate or our hitting coach. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap...

August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 06:05 AM) That'll teach him!!! Soxtalk could have fun with this one. I can't decide what part of that quote is better: that he benched Rios for TWO GAMES or that on this team of abominations, Rios is the only guy he's benched for lack of hustle.
August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) f*** you so hard, Ozzie Guillen. It's been quite the forgettable week for the Guillen family. Just an all-out meltdown for this organization right now.
August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 10:43 AM) Just an all-out meltdown for this organization right now. With no one even on the hot seat.

I can't wait for a truly empty stadium to be featured and laughed at on Sportscenter in f***ing September. I feel bad for Paul Konerko and Mark Buehrle. F*ck everyone else, but those two are class acts and shouldn't be stuck with the rest of these bums.
August 5, 201114 yr I heard about that Colbert bit on the radio this morning. Good God that is embarrassing. Edited August 5, 201114 yr by Chet Kincaid

August 5, 201114 yr Who's going to this year's Picnic in the Park event where you can play a lazy game of frisbee with Alex Rios, and I mean lazy, or you can watch Adam Dunn strike out 4 times in a game of whiffle ball?
August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) I think Lillibridge got benched for that too. Add Ozzie not knowing he benched Lillibridge to that list too, in that case.
August 5, 201114 yr No Rios tonight. Pierre, Ramirez, Konerko, Dunn, Quentin, Pierzynski, Beckham, De Aza, Morel
August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) No Rios tonight. Pierre, Ramirez, Konerko, Dunn, Quentin, Pierzynski, Beckham, De Aza, Morel Good. He should be the last guy on the bench if you ask me.
August 5, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) No Rios tonight. Pierre, Ramirez, Konerko, Dunn, Quentin, Pierzynski, Beckham, De Aza, Morel I think the more De Aza plays, the more likely he is to bump Rios out.
August 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) I think the more De Aza plays, the more likely he is to bump Rios out. Which is why we've all been so pissed that Rios kept starting.

August 6, 201114 yr http://thebeanball.wordpress.com/2011/08/0...-michael-morse/ Lillibridge the next Michael Morse? I think not. If they do plan to go into next season with Lillibridge/DeAza, Viciedo and Rios as the new outfield...well, I don't know what to say. But 2012 would suck. At least the better the stats that Quentin ends up with, the easier it will be for KW to deal him....IF IF IF he can stay healthy the final 2 months of the season.
