Ozzie won't fire hitting coach
As the White Sox's batting average chills, e-mail and electronic chats about Greg Walker's status heat up. But so does manager Ozzie Guillen's defense of his hitting coach. "That's not going to happen," Guillen said of suggestions that Walker should be replaced. "To be honest with you, I don't think we need coaches. Look at the lineup. Everyone is a veteran, everyone knows what they're doing, everyone has experience, everyone went through it. I think you can ask the players. "I'm not going to blame Walker about it. Greg is not a babysitter. Greg gives the best information and works hard, works harder than anybody."

The White Sox are sinking fast, and the Tigers and Indians are revving up. Can you say fifth place, Chicago?

Ozzie's right.... the only purpose of the hitting coach is to be the scapegoat when teams don't hit.... he's just not going to play that game.... yet....

I agree with Ozzie. However if there needs to a a fall guy shouldn't it be Ozzie himself?

Like last year? When the White Sox kept the Royals in the cellar...
Or did they? My daddy said, "Wish in one hand and piss in the other, Abraham, and see which one fills up quicker."

Keep it up Ozzie, your time is coming fast. It was all okay when you were winning, now that you may have to actually manage, thinks are getting bad. Having veterans doesn't mean they need a decent hitting coach!
