White Sox extend Ozzie Guillen's contract through 2012


Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen did something in 2005 that no man had accomplished in 88 years. He brought a World Series Championship to Chicago.

Although Guillen's Sox are in last place in the American League Central Division this year, the White Sox extended Guillen's contract to manage the South Siders through 2012. Alhtough they didn't make the playoffs, the Sox played well in Guillen's other two years at the helm.

This is too much to bear for Chicago Sun-Time' Jay Mariotti, America's worst sports columnist, who has been feuding with the White Sox organization for a couple of decades now. If the White Sox fired Guillen, what would Jay write about? Jerry Reinsdorf, principal owner of not only the Sox, but also the Chicago Bulls would be my guess.

And Mariotti's columns would suck even more. Who wants to read about an owner every day?

I'll leave the final words to Guillen, from 2006:

"(Mariotti) is garbage. He's always been garbage. And he will die garbage."
