Jake Peavy and yours truly have finally agreed on something: Ozzie Guillen quit on the White Sox. Basically, he pulled a Lou Piniella.

(Although Jake and I do share some hobbies.)

Today, Ozzie Guillen shot back at Peavy. Ozzie accused Jake Peavy of quitting on the team in early September, forgetting that he did the exact same thing himself a few weeks later. What became clear in the end of Ozzie’s run with the White Sox is that Ozzie had one goal in mind: the success of Ozzie Guillen. That often aligned with the team’s and the city’s goals, but when it didn’t, things got ugly. Jake Peavy may be a horse’s ass who couldn’t open a twist off beer bottle without pulling a tendon and needed 6 weeks of rehab, but by God, he nailed it here.   

I think Jake Peavy is a bum and I think Ozzie is a bum, but however much these two continue to go back and forth today, the point goes to Peavy in this round. Ozzie gave up, plain and simple. That is NEVER acceptable, whether we’re talking baseball or life. Peavy may have done the same thing, but a player is a little different than the manager. That’s like getting mad at a toddler for complaining about going to bed. Kids don’t know any better.

Enjoy Florida with the rest of the retirees, Ozzie.
