More Ozzie Guillen Controversy

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen just can't stay out of trouble.
First there was the incident with the young pitcher who didn't hit Hank Blalock with a pitch as we was told.

Then Guillen called Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jay Mariotti a fag. I agree that Mariotti is the worst kind of sportswriter, he gets on "Around the Horn" and screams and yells like a fool. And in his columns he's purposely contrarian to get attention. The problem with Guillen (which was previously mentioned by AJ Pierzynski) is that Mariotti has been writing columns critical of the team and the manager, but he's never been in their locker room, covering the team and asking questions.

Obviously, Guillen shouldn't have called him a fag. He should have stuck with piece of shit (the first insult he used).

Now, the latest controversy involves the Cardinals, who accused the Sox of stealing their signs. The Sox pounded the Cards 20-6 and 13-5 in the first two games of their series. Chicago won the third game 1-0, as their only hit was a homer by Jim Thome. The best part of this: because the St. Louis bullpen was shot after the first game, LaRussa left his game 2 starting pitcher Jason Marquis in for five innings while getting his brains beat in. Marquis had won 6 decisions in a row, but he gave up 13 runs and 14 hits in 5 innings. His ERA skyrocked to 5.53 from 4.55 in that start alone.
