Guillen claims ump hates him
Based on the last two times umpire Phil Cuzzi has worked behind home plate for a White Sox game, manager Ozzie Guillen has a strong feeling about what will happen. "I know I'm going to get ejected," Guillen said Wednesday, two days after Cuzzi ejected him for arguing balls and strikes for the second time in two seasons. "You can ask my bench coach as soon as I say, 'You're going to handle this game today because I know I'm going to be ejected' because that's how I feel about that situation." Guillen believes Cuzzi goaded him after arguing a called strike on Paul Konerko in the third inning of the Sox's 7-4 comeback victory over Minnesota. "He doesn't like me, I don't like him," Guillen said.

Make no mistake, I HATE the City of Chicago (what a dump) and all of it's sports teams. However, Ozzie is great. I would love to play baseball for this guy.

"ejected him for arguing balls and strikes for the second time in two second seasons." Arguing balls and strikes is still off limits with the umps, of course he is going to get ejected. If he wants to take the view that Phil Cuzzi is out to get him, then Bobby Cox should think that the whole MLB umpiring crew has his number.

Every hurdle in the life of Ozzie is always someone trying to get him.
Every victory is his alone, a testament to his skill and incredible knowledge.
Talk less Ozzie, manage more.....

Whatever Ozzie's feelings for this ump are, he is an absolute fool to publicly escalate the feud. How does this do anything but potentially hurt his team?? Pick your battles Ozzie

Note to Ozzie:
Umps throw you out for arguing balls and strikes, it is a rule and everything.

Ozzie should look up the term "self-fulfiling prophecy."
If you going into a game thinking you're going to get tossed, you probably are. It's like thinking you're going to lose...you behave in a way that fulfills your prediction.

How could anyone love Ozzie Guillen? The guy is a clown. He plays the race card, the hate card, every card possible. He is a disgrace to baseball and he always makes everything about him. He is my least favorite person in all of sports. If the Ump hates him, I don't blame him. I despise the guy.

It is not only a rule it is supposed to be non-negotiaable. You argue balls and strikes you are supposed to be gone. The umps use a lot of common sense & latitude before enforcing this rule 99.909999999999% of the time. But like all people, if you push the wrong button too many times, and irk the ump off then "yer outta here!".
And just a note to Broadhead: Is there anything you don't hate? Man, I am glad I don't ahve to live in your world. I would wish you to have a nice day but you would probably hate that, too. :)

Jayhawk, agreed. I give him all the credit he deserves for winning the WS a few years ago when no one expected it. Give the devil his due.
But it is ALWAYS about him, about making big deals out of nothing, making himself the victim when he gets quoted saying something stupid, blaming the media...he's a crybaby, not a tough guy.

No offense to clowns, but Ozzie is a clown! I can't say that I hate him because he is irrelevant. Some managers and coaches know when to deflect attention away from the team and on to themselves for the good of the player or team. Ozzie just likes the attention.

As far as Ozzies WS, that does not make him a genius or a great coach. Look at what he's done since, with arguably better talent at times. Him winning a WS is just proof that every once in a while a blind squirell does find a nut.
