White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen admits he yelled at Rangers reliever C.J. Wilson on Sunday, but only after claiming Wilson showed disrespect to Jim Thome and the Sox with an animated celebration after striking out the designated hitter. "You can be cocky, be yourself or have your own show time," Guillen said Friday. "But when you don't respect the opposition and do what he did, that's not professional. That's the reason I was screaming to him. When you're nobody and show people up like that. -- Wait till you're somebody in baseball, and then do whatever you want to do."

"You can be cocky, be yourself or have your own show time'' - seems like Ozzie is describing himself !!!

Is this the same guy who went far out of his way to humiliate Mulder in the press when Mulder's problems began?

Shut up Ozzie. You're the only one who likes to hear you talk.

Yeah, he is right...But isn't this a little like Larry Craig telling someone how to stand when in a public bathroom at an Airport?"

He needed to worry about his own pitchers after that series. You are terrible Ozzie.

but ozzie was a NOBODY his whole career.

July 19, 2008  12:11 PM ET

Well...yeah...if you consider a 3-time All-Star a nobody...

CJ was a dork for almost blowing a big lead and then celebrating striking out two of the a biggest strikeout targets in history...

Ozzie just told it like it was in this case...

cardsfan...They asked him a question, he answered. So you may not care what he has to say, but clearly other people do.

Ozzie is typically honest to a fault, so I don't know why he'd lie about this one.

July 19, 2008  12:30 PM ET

Ozzie, you're a nobody. You were barely an average MLB player. It's sad people dislike the White Sox just because of their manager.

July 19, 2008  12:31 PM ET

he is chicago's MANNY and they will chalk it up to "OZZIE BEING OZZIE"

July 19, 2008  12:32 PM ET

Ozzie was the rookie of the year, a three time all star and a gold glove winner. He was hardly an "average MLB player." If you don't like him that's fine, but don't act like the guy couldn't play.

guy says the truth , even if he says it about his own players, that closer for the rangers is a tool , ozzie said if your cocky and good ok < k rod> but if your cocky and **** < cj wilson> then you should just shut up....everyone likes to rag on ozzie anyway , who gives a ****

Kettle meet Ozzie, Ozzie meet kettle.

What a joke. This is a guy who hasn't stopped insulting the opposition every chance he gets. What a tool.

What does Ozzie know about respect, more importantly, when has he ever shown respect to anyone or anything?

July 19, 2008  01:47 PM ET

I think its funny Ozzie is giving someone advice about being professional. This guy loves the spotlight, doesn't he? He's an idiot and should keep his mouth shut. If someone wants to celebrate, who are you to stop them? Every time he opens his mouth, its like diarrhea comes out.

July 19, 2008  02:03 PM ET

Oh, the irony of Ozzie calling someone "unprofessional."

 
July 19, 2008  02:55 PM ET

Ozzie shows disrespect every time he opens hie **** mouth to talk. He and the other trash that wear their uniforms down to their ankels and their pockets hanging out also shows disrespects for the game.Just go back when the game was a game with respect from the 20's-70's.Now their is no respect for the game.
