"I'll always respect [Guillen] as a person and give him credit that's due. But I want to play for a manager who trusts his relievers, regardless of what's going on."
In response, Oney Guillen, Ozzie's son, flipped out and took to Twitter to rip into...er...rant...er.... defend his dad. [Past tense of tweet] Oney:
hahah memo to bobby jenks get a clue u drink to much and u have had marital problems hugeee ones and the sox stood behind u
they did not air out ur dirty laundry, u came to srping not drinking and then u sucked and started srinking again be a man
be a man and tell the manager or the coaching staff how u feel or the organization when u were with the sox not when u leave
u cried in the managers office bc u have problems now u go and talk bad about the sox after they protected u for 7 years ungrateful
if it wasnt for u and mainly u freddy garcia would have like 17 wins and the sox would have beat the twins
and u self diagnosed urself bc u didnt want to pitch un real i hope the sox let this guiy f*cking have it
oh and yes i remember clearly u blowing a hugee game in 09 and u laughing ur bearded ass off while everyone busting there tail
i thought u were a man not some punk who runs away and talks bullsh*t. u coward. say it to there face when u were with them
dont make me air out more then i have 2 say ur sorry dont disrespect the White sox ever
now u know what piece of sh*t person u rooted for chicago. the ones that leave and talk bad about ur team
and u say the manager didnt trust u? he kept putting ur fat ass there and u kept blowing it, he never took u away from that role unreal
go read it its a scott merkin piece its a dandy, i hope people say what they really feel instead of me
although it wouldnt surprise me if the sox take the high road and be classy instead of destroying this yellow beard dipping idiot
and to think u were actually a cool guy and ur word meant something, to bad u dont hit in the AL so they can drill that ass
one little story remember when u couldnt handle ur drinking and u hit a poor arizona clubby in the face i do. and later u covered it with
Jenks did seem to take a passive-aggressive swipe at Ozzie but the reaction seems a wee bit over the top. If Jenks does have a drinking problem, that's not good news; if he punched out a clubhouse attendant, that's a serious issue; if he has marital issues that will affect his performance, it's not a good thing for his new Sox but, much like his father, the younger Mr. Guillen needs to learn to bite his tongue.
As far as having a manager who will stick with his staff, Francona will do that. He'll stick with you much longer than any sane person would.
