| #1 Posted on 27.9.11 1216.27 Reposted on: 27.9.18 1222.33 | On Monday night Ozzie Guillen was "released from his contract" as the manager of the White Sox.
However, a post on his blog that was pulled may have confirmed his next job a little too quickly. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/cbsports-guillens-blog-jumps-the-gun-20110926,0,2121034.story
Apparently Ozzie will be named manager of the Marlins, with the White Sox getting a couple minor leaguers in return for letting him out of his deal. Promote this thread! |  | Big Bad

That's what I don't get. Ozzie is as outspoken as anyone, and that's not the kind of manager Loria/the Marlins generally look for. Then again, if you're in with Loria, you're in; after all, Jack McKeon is more like Ozzie than the yes-men the Marlins have preferred, and Loria loves him..
I think this is the first piece in a busy offseason puzzle for the Marlins. For the first time in several years, I think I'm going to enjoy being a Marlins fan this Winter.

| #5 Posted on 28.9.11 2246.27 Reposted on: 28.9.18 2249.17 | Ozzie Guillen can take solace in knowing that he, at the very least, got the last laugh over Jay Mariotti.
Whether he leaves on bad terms or not, Ozzie will forever be a legend for bringing a World Series championship to Chicago. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
