If you don't know who Ozzie Guillen is, don't allow him catch wind of it, because the current Chicago White Sox skipper is non afraid to make full yous in.
Ozzie Guillen is currently in his ninth flavor managing the White Sox, in which he has captured ii AL Central Division titles, a Globe Series trophy (2005) and an AL Director of the Year award (2005).
Existence in his 9th twelvemonth at the captain too indicates that we have nine years of absolute grammatical aureate to sort through when it comes to the outspoken manager.
Ozzie manages much similar he played dorsum in his younger days as a Major League shortstop, and speaks like he did back in his Venezuelan days (his native country).
What makes Ozzie'southward quotes and so memorable is his unique use of language and vocabulary. Upon farther review, Ozzie seems to mesh three divide languages in different contexts to create his own make of talk.
Information technology's usually a fiery combination of Spanish (his native language), English language (his 2nd language) and Cursing (his favorite language).
Still you put it, Ozzie calls them like he sees them. And he could care less if that makes y'all his fan or his enemy.
And now I give y'all the Elevation 25 Ozzie Guillen Quotes of all-time.
25. Ozzie on Running the Bases
- "Hermie told me that A.J. is a piffling irksome running the bases. I told him, no kidding, what have yous been watching over the past two years?" - Ozzie on White Sox trainer Herm Schneider'southward evaluation of A.J. Pierzynski's ankle.
- "Usually the manager wants his players to get a hit. I cheer for him non to get a hit because then he will have to run the bases." - Ozzie on starting pitcher Jose Contreras.

Here are two divide gems regarding his players running the base-paths, or lack thereof.
24. Brandon McCarthy

White Sox starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy showed a lot of promise during the 2006 campaign.
Even so, Brandon was traded to the Texas Rangers the following offseason as part of the John Danks deal.
Later on the trade, McCarthy told local reporters that he enjoyed the atmosphere more in Texas than Chicago, mainly because he and teammate Brian Anderson were the but two players who weren't married or didn't have a serious girlfriend.
It may seem slight, only the Wizard of Oz hears all. Ozzie's response:
"You played with the states 162 games and all suddenly you leave and say you don't have a friend in the clubhouse, only Brian Anderson? Well, he picked the wrong guy to be friends with."
23. Mariano Duncan

Ozzie Guillen is proud to say where he comes from, that being the country of Venezuela. Ozzie is even more proud of the fact that he was the offset Latino manager to lead an MLB squad to a World Series title.
What Ozzie isn't proud of is the fact that another fellow Latino motorbus had the nerve to call him out as an embarrassment to Latinos in baseball.
Mariano Duncan, a native of the Dominican Democracy, felt his was his duty every bit start base autobus of the Los Angeles Dodgers to speak against Ozzie. This is what Duncan told the Los Angeles Times in June '06:
"He embarrassed every Latino player, bus and front end-office person. Ozzie is a hero in his state and a hero in my country. We are here in America, where you can speak freely. Simply yous don't say everything that comes to your mind. He has to acquire to tedious downwardly a little chip. You accept to learn how to close your mouth."
And, of grade, the Ozzie response:
"Mariano Duncan never will be a large league manager and non considering I ruined it for him. If Mariano Duncan thinks beingness a manager is making out the lineup and changing pitchers, he is real wrong."
Guillen is however managing and Duncan however isn't managing. Advantage Ozzie.
22. Andy Van Slyke

Yeah, that is onetime Detroit Tiger first base double-decker Andy Van Slyke on the correct.
When Van Slyke wasn't too busy cuddling upwardly with slugger Miguel Cabrera, he was ripping into Ozzie Guillen.
Ozzie was "visually upset" after a failed retaliation pitch by Jon Garland in a game against the Tigers in 2006. Subsequently the game, Andy Van Slyke told a radio interviewer that he would have punched the White Sox skipper had that happened to him.
Guess what, Andy, Ozzie heard you. This is what he had to say:
"That's why he's coaching starting time base and I'thousand managing in the large leagues. I'yard going to manage in the big leagues longer than he's going to coach offset base of operations."
This was said in 2006, and Van Slyke was relieved of his kickoff base duties in 2009. Ozzie continues to manage the White Sox to this day.
Yet again, advantage Ozzie Guillen.
21. Scott Linebrink

During Bound Preparation prior to the 2009 flavour, White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink informed his managing director he couldn't pitch that twenty-four hour period. Ozzie Guillen'southward reaction to Linebrink'southward pre-game headache was priceless.
"I believe him because he's a real religious guy. Someone else tells me they have a migraine, I know they are hung over."
20. Umpire Phil Cuzzi
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
In April 2008, Ozzie Guillen is brusk and to the point when asked most the words exchanged between him and MLB Umpire Phil Cuzzi prior to an April baseball.
"I just permit him know I don't like him the beginning day I see him, and I remember he feels the same way virtually me. And we have to move on."
At least they agree to disagree, in a sense.
19. Mike North
How does Ozzie Guillen start a chat with someone he doesn't particularly similar? Just ask former Chicago sports-radio personality Mike North when interviewing him alive on the air in May 2007.
Mike Due north - "How you doing, Ozzie?"
Ozzie Guillen - "Oh, shut the [bleep] up."
That pretty much sums up that topic.
18. On His Kids
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
When Michael Barrett sucker-punched A.J. Pierzynski during the Cubs-Sox series in 2006, a big scuffle ensued involving many players.
When a reporter asked director Ozzie Guillen if his kids were involved, regarding his sons Ozzie Jr., Ozney and Oney, the skipper had a particularly comical response.
"If my kids were on the field, they were going to become their [butts] kicked. What's Ozzie [Jr.] going to practise? Eat somebody. My other one is 20 pounds and the other i is just 14. I is a infant, one is also little, another i, the only thing he tin do is eat somebody or drink somebody."
I think that answers the question, merely don't tell that to Ozzie's sons.
17. Umpire Dan Iassogna
The second umpire on Ozzie Guillen's bad side is Dan Iassogna. Iassogna has thrown out the Sox manager twice in his career, but it was the first incident that caused Ozzie to requite him a piece of his mind.
On Aug. 22, 2006, Ozzie stepped onto the diamond during the second inning in a game against the Detroit Tigers to debate balls and strikes. Ozzie stated his case and started heading towards the dugout.
Co-ordinate to Guillen, Iassogna so said something that didn't sit down right with the skipper. Ozzie so charged dorsum and was afterward tossed past the ump.
Ozzie was still livid seven innings subsequently the dispute and ranted a fiddling afterwards the game.
"But in the meanwhile, yous can't do [blip] because they have all the power. The more y'all talk, the more suspensions, more money they take away from you, and you take to shut the [bleep] up and tin't do [bleep]."
16. Bartolo Colon
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
In 2009, Bartolo Colon was a member of the White Sox. Yep, you may have forgotten considering he bore more than similarities to the security guards protecting him than his professional athlete teammates.
And then now that we got that downward, this "professional athlete" was sent to Chicago's Triple-A affiliate, the Charlotte Knights, for a rehab showtime before he joined the White Sox. That sounds like a pretty unproblematic task for a Major League bullpen, but it was far from it.
Somehow, Bartolo Colon went missing, and the White Sox had no idea where he had gone.
Perchance his manager might know his whereabouts? Cue Ozzie Guillen:
"I worry about Colon because Colon was a big-time Michael Jackson fan. He might watch the TV and cry all twenty-four hours long. Perhaps he'southward in L.A. at his funeral, considering I can't notice him. When he gets to Charlotte, Oney (Guillen's son) will telephone call me and say he's there. Nobody knows how large of a Jackson fan Colon was. I'm serious. He might be depressed a niggling bit."
That had to be information technology!
15. On Losing in September
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Nobody is happy when they lose in September, and Ozzie Guillen is no exception.
At the end of the 2009 flavor, the White Sox lost a crucial game to the Detroit Tigers. The skip was aroused virtually the loss, as well as the elimination of the White Sox from the pennant race, but there was much more to the loss than simply those to points.
It was the fashion in which his team lost, and Ozzie wasn't belongings dorsum.
"Very embarrassing. Not because nosotros're out of the pennant race. I've been dealing with this for how many months, six months? Dealing with this for the adjacent two, iii days, v days, six days, whatsoever I have left, I'thou non going to tolerate. They retrieve the season'due south over for them? Yes. If they recollect the flavor's over for me, no.
And I'grand going to brand information technology clear. It'south a bunch of [bleeps] out in that location watching football games like a piece of [bleep] with no pride the fashion they [bleep] play, and that's embarrassing. ... I'grand not in a pennant race, only at least I have some pride.
When you lot leave there and you turn your TV on and watch stupid-[barrel] football when those [bleep] football game players don't give a [bleep] well-nigh you, that's embarrassing."
Apparently football had something to do with the loss.
xiv. On His Eventual Departure from World
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Everybody has their own personal preference on which they leave this Earth. It's something everyone has thought about at least once in their lifetime. Death is inevitable, so why not talk virtually it?
Ozzie has no problem talking about it, and let everyone know what his pick would exist.
"I hope I die on the field. I hope when I walk to change the pitcher, I drop dead and that's it. I know my family would be so happy that it happened on the field. They wouldn't feel bad because that's what I've ever wanted to do."
Maybe Don Cooper should start handling pitching changes, because no White Sox fan wants to lose the manager that brought them that coveted Globe Series trophy.
13. Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt
Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images
The third umpire on Ozzie Guillen'south bad side is Hunter Wendelstedt.
Hunter Wendelstedt is the son of long-time Major League umpire Harry Wendelstedt, something Ozzie Guillen was well aware of.
In his first explosive tirade as manager of the White Sox (2004 flavour), Guillen charged Wendelstedt at second base when he incorrectly called Carlos Lee out on a stolen-base attempt.
During the statement, Ozzie manifestly bumped the umpire with the bill of his cap, garnering a one game break, and uttered this fabled one-liner:
"You lot're not even a pimple on your daddy'due south [butt]"
That was pretty clever if you ask me.
After the dispute, Guillen turned and walked towards the dugout. During the long walk back, Wendelstedt threw Ozzie with his dorsum turned. When Guillen got back to the dugout, someone had to inform the manager that he had been tossed.
12. Rich Hill
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
Nobody protects his players more than Ozzie Guillen. That means current players, considering we will shortly see that former players don't autumn under this category.
Ozzie defenseless wind of shots taken past Cubs starting pitcher Rich Colina at his catcher, A.J. Pierzynski, after the famous ball between the two Chicago clubs in May of 2006.
Colina chosen Pierzynski's slap of the plate subsequently scoring a run "gutless" and "pathetic." Leave it to Ozzie Guillen to to one-upwardly the former Cubs bullpen.
"Tell that Triple-A [bleep] to shut the [blip] upward. Tell him to start throwing some strikes or he'southward going to get Dusty [Baker] fired."
Ozzie knew he was protecting ane of his players, but he wasn't aware that he was predicting the futurity.
The very side by side solar day, Rich Hill was demoted to Triple-A Iowa, and Dusty Bakery was fired post-obit the 2006 season.
Well done, Ozzie.
11. Buck Showalter
Jeff Gross/Getty Images
Ozzie Guillen vs. Buck Showalter.
2 managers that handle their business organisation at consummate opposite ends of the spectrum. Ozzie being peppery and emotional, while Showalter is meticulous and disciplined.
In September of 2004, Ozzie's first flavour as manager of the White Sox, Showalter was managing the team opposite the diamond that day, the Texas Rangers. Showalter had called up his old reliever, John Wetteland, from coaching in the pocket-sized leagues to charabanc first base that nighttime.
Ozzie took exception to this activeness as testing his knowledge of baseball. Whether or not Buck was familiar with Guillen's career, Ozzie permit him know anyways.
"[Showalter] never even smelled a jock in the big leagues. Mr. Baseball never even got a hit in Triple-A. I was a better player than him, I have more money than him and I'm better looking than him."
ten. Wrigley Field
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Wrigley Field is literally a museum for America's pastime, with nearly ane hundred years of baseball history. Everyone can respect that fact, but you won't notice many White Sox fans, if any, that actually similar the place.
A lot of things piss off Ozzie Guillen, but what could a historic stadium perhaps do to piss even Ozzie off you lot ask?
Well every bit the Chicago White Sox biggest fan, at that place is simply ane thing Wrigley has to do to get Ozzie angry.
Exist.
That being said, here is a piddling collection that sums upwards what Ozzie thinks nearly Wrigley Field.
"You are going to take batting practice and the rats expect bigger than a hog out at that place...I call back the rats out there are lifting weights."
"I wish I could do something about it. The Governor of Chicago, delight build some other one."
"Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans. They know...Wrigley field is just a bar."
"It'due south a museum. They like to come to Wrigley Field. I don't say people don't like to come here. I say Ozzie doesn't like to come up here."
I hope by now Ozzie Guillen knows that Chicago actually has a Mayor, non a Governor.
ix. On Jim Thome's Walk-off Homer as a Minnesota Twin Against Chicago
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
It was Aug. 17, 2010.
The White Sox were visiting the Minnesota Twins in a AL Central Division series.
In the lesser of the tenth inning, Jim Thome launched a moonshot into the night sky that has yet to land to beat his sometime brawl order.
The White Sox could take re-signed their former slugger during the previous offseason, merely the team decided not to. Office of the reason was that Ozzie Guillen was happy with the society he had, and was convinced that a platoon DH was a good idea.
Thome was already having a good twelvemonth, something that hurt White Sox fans. Just this walk-off home run was almost unbearable to even comprehend.
Before the game the following day, Ozzie answered his critics in the merely way he knew how.
"For all those people in that location saying it was my fault nigh Jim Thome, yes information technology's my error. If those people don't like that, [bleep] them. I'thou not afraid. I can care less what people recall. Nosotros're in second place.
"When Jim Thome was here, we finished tertiary three times out of 4 years … Oh and I got one more year on my contract, just brand certain to tell Jerry [Reinsdorf], get it ready, this crazy [bleeping] Mexican, it's fine with me. They going to blame me almost one domicile run, I'll take the arraign."
As a die-difficult White Sox fan, that was practiced plenty for me.
viii. Jay Mariotti
Jay Mariotti, a old Chicago Sun-Times columnist, is one of Ozzie's most hated individuals.
Ozzie originally didn't like the guy because he would be extremely quick to judge the White Sox and owner Jerry Reinsdorf without even stepping foot on the South-side.
When Ozzie had a minor tantrum in 2006 over his reliever Sean Tracey not throwing a retaliation pitch, Mariotti had to get his ii-cents in.
Regarding the White Sox managing director as the "Blizzard of Oz," Mariotti chosen his actions "senseless" and "immature."
Non many people can get away with criticizing Ozzie, and Mariotti was definitely not getting abroad with this 1. Ozzie had more than one controversial thing to say most Mr. Mariotti.
"What a piece of [blip] he is, [bleeping] fag"
"Why he's so afraid to show up to the ballpark? Tell him nosotros'll pay his cab. Tell him to tell us where he lives, and we'll bring him to the ballpark and we'll have a chat."
"He'due south garbage, notwithstanding garbage, going to die every bit garbage."
As we have seen in recent NBA fines, the first quote did non sit well with the MLB.
Notwithstanding, we again see that Ozzie has the rare power to predict the time to come without even knowing it. Mariotti has still avoided U.S. Cellular Field since Ozzie's call-out in 2006.
He was even more spot-on with his third quote.
In 2010, Mariotti pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge every bit a function of a plea deal that dropped six other misdemeanors.
In March of 2011, Mariotti was charged with three felonies: stalking, corporal injustice to a spouse, and attack to create actual harm.
For further information on Mariotti'southward charges, click hither to read the Fifty.A. Times story.
vii. Umpire Joe West
Greg Fiume/Getty Images
The last but certainly Non least hated umpire to make the list is Joe Due west.
Ozzie and Joe had a nice run-in during the 2010 season. I'll permit Ozzie explain the situation.
"I don't think he has the right and the power to let people know who is the principal on the field. We know he has to control the game, we know he has to control all the [bleep], simply in the meanwhile, I don't think information technology was the right thing to do, like we balked him while nosotros were on the field. Joe has been similar that for a lot of years, and he's always going to be like this. I'm non going to change it, nobody is going to modify it, simply sometimes he thinks [bleeping] people pay to watch him [bleeping] umpire.
"He's the type of guy that wants to control the game, it'southward good for the game, and to me i of the all-time umpires in the game, no doubt. Merely in the meanwhile, those years are on his shoulders and kind of heavy and showing people who he is. I deserve respect and the players here deserve respect here, too.
"When yous tell the manager to go the [blip] off the field, I don't think that'southward a good fashion to handle situations. No matter what you lot say, what y'all do, how long you talk here, Major League Baseball doesn't practise [bleep] for anything. I'll exist waiting for my fine, go 'em the next day."
"Because he's a [bleeping] a-hole, that's what he is."
Joe West continues to bear witness he may have something against the White Sox organization. Just ask Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson on his take of the situation.
6. The Cubs and Lee Elia
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
If you weren't aware, Lee Elia was the beginning Chicago manager to publicly call out fans in an expletive-ridden tired after a Cubs loss in April 1983.
Ozzie Guillen has since taken the torch from the former Cubs manager and ran with it, for miles.
In 2008, the Chicago Cubs decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the infamous tirade (for some reason). Ozzie Guillen couldn't go on his hands off this one. I hateful, any opportunity to rip the Cubs is taken by Guillen.
"How about the Cubs celebrating that Lee Elia bull[bleep]? How many times practise I curse people out? I will make a lot of money with my [stuff].
"I have to keep going considering in the hereafter Ozzie will need money, and I can say, 'Hither, give me money, here'due south the ten-year anniversary of my time I called Mariotti stuff and the fourth dimension I went on the radio and cursed out Mike Northward,'"
When all is said and done, Ozzie will be known for well more than than just one tirade. For that, I'thou thankful.
5. The Media
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Later on the completion of a long route trip in August 2010, Ozzie Guillen felt that neither his squad nor himself were welcomed back.
This goes for the Chicago and national media, every bit well as the Guillen household. Ozzie doesn't concord back during this rant.
"When are they going to give our players the credit to exist where we are right now? When we beat the National League, we were a horse[bleep] squad. When nosotros beat Anaheim, they were going down. At present, Baltimore beat out the [bleep] out of us, and nobody says anything. Who gives a [bleep] who'due south in town?
"How about, 'the White Sox are back in Chicago after a long trip.' Even my wife told me Minnesota is coming to boondocks. I said, 'Skilful, you dating somebody from there?' Who cares."
I couldn't agree more. I just wish we could have known how Guillen's wife answered his last question.
4. Dustin Pedroia
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images
This one is just Ozzie beingness Ozzie. And when Ozzie is just beingness Ozzie, he isn't afraid to scoff any opponent, regardless of the reason.
In August 2008, the White Sox were squaring off confronting the Boston Reddish Sox. There was a state of affairs in which Ozzie was forced to walk Boston 2d baseman Dustin Pedroia.
You wouldn't think Ozzie would muster up a masterful quote because he was forced to walk a good hitter, simply you are then very wrong.
"I never thought I would walk a jockey. I must exist the worst manager in the history of baseball correct now, walking a guy that only came from being on the acme of Large Brownish to beat out the White Sox.
"The guy correct now is on fire. No affair what you lot throw in that location, he'southward going to get it. I can't believe it. You can change professions from one year to another. To go from the Kentucky Derby to the Boston Ruddy Sox ballpark and perform, that'south amazing."
Dustin, don't arraign Ozzie for the jockey comparison, blame your parents.
iii. The Cubs, Their Fans, and the Chicago Media
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
If you hadn't heard, Ozzie Guillen isn't to fond of the cross-town rival Chicago Cubs.
In 2008, just 3 years subsequently the White Sox had won the first World Series in 88 years for the city of Chicago, Ozzie allow loose on all of the "Cubs Dearest" prior to the cantankerous-boondocks showdown.
"A couple of days ago we were the [bleeping] best stuff in boondocks. Now nosotros're [bleep]. ... We won information technology a couple years ago, and we're equus caballus[bleep]. The Cubs haven't won in 100 years, and they're the [bleeping] all-time. [Bleep] it, we're good. [Bleep] everybody.
"We're horse[bleep], and we're going to exist equus caballus[bleep] the rest of our lives, no matter how many World Series we win. We are the [bleep] of Chicago. We're the Chicago [bleep]. We have the worst owner [Jerry Reinsdorf]. The guy's got seven [bleeping] rings, and he'southward the [bleeping] horse[bleep] owner."
Ozzie doesn't understand all of the love for the team from the north, and neither do the White Sox true-blue. Unfortunately, amount of love is all based on numbers. More than fans equals more money. Which equals more coverage. Which equals more love.
Fortunately, winning isn't part of the equation.
2. Magglio Ordonez
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Prior to the 2005 flavour, right fielder Magglio Ordonez left the Chicago White Sox to sign a free agent deal with the Detroit Tigers.
After his difference, Magglio had a few words to say about leaving and near joining his new club. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen took offense to some of those words, and believed that Ordonez pinned him as the guy that drove him out of Chicago.
Guillen and Ordonez are both natives of Venezuela, and had a lot of praise for each other as teammates in 1997 besides as 2004 equally actor and manager. That friendship was severed after Ordonez's comments, and Ozzie just completely ripped into his fellow countryman.
"He played with the incorrect guy. He was bad-mouthing my team. He was bad-mouthing my trainer. He was bad-mouthing my general manager. He was bad-mouthing my possessor. He was bad-mouthing my organization. Only when he said Ozzie…uh-oh. Every bit soon as he named me, it was on."
"He's a [blip], that's what he is. He'southward another Venezuelan [bleep]. [Blip] him. He has an enemy. Now he has a big i. He knows I can [bleep] him a lot of different means. He better shut the [blip] up and play for the Detroit Tigers.
"Why do I have to repent to him? Who the [bleep] is Magglio Ordonez? Why ever talk well-nigh me? He doesn't do [bleep] for me. But if he thinks I'm his enemy, he has a big enemy. He knows me."
Over again, Ozzie has the last express joy. Immediately subsequently Magglio Ordonez left the organization, the White Sox won the Globe Series.
one. Ozzie on Ozzie
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
The top Ozzie Guillen quote of best also happens to be his most contempo quote on the list.
What makes it special is the fact that he is talking about himself. It is short, simple, and directly to the signal. It's and so unproblematic and direct that even a non-baseball fan could film the type of guy Ozzie is and sees himself as.
Ozzie uttered this stroke of genius during the past Jump Training to a Yahoo sports writer.
"I'chiliad the Charlie Sheen of baseball, without the drugs and a prostitute."
At the end of the day, Ozzie Guillen is much more to baseball than his Charlie Sheen comparison. He provides comic relief in times of peace and frustration, he exhibits a fiery passion for the game that is second-to-none, and he is a great human being.
But, if baseball game were to have a Charlie Sheen, it's Ozzie Guillen.
Winning.
