Cowley: Ozzie: [Bleep] it

[Bleep]  Alexei…we need Luke Ramirez!

Tired of watching the Sox bungle through what so far is a 1-5 road trip, Guillen sounded off.

‘‘I’m embarrassed,’’ Guillen said. ‘‘And everybody in that room should be embarrassed. If they’re not embarrassed, they got the wrong job or they’re stealing money from baseball. I feel like I’m stealing the money from [board chairman] Jerry [Reinsdorf]. And that’s a shame. When you got more errors than hits, you better look yourself in the mirror and start second-guessing yourself.

‘‘But I’m second-guessing myself right now, making the wrong lineup every day. I second-guess myself bringing in the wrong guys to pitch. Second-guess myself like we work so hard to put this team together, all the way from spring training and when I look on the field.

‘‘I was looking at the Little League game this morning, and they were playing better than we did. It was more fun ... this is not major-league baseball. Sorry.’‘

Because tearing your team a new ####### is the best way to motivate them.

Not tearing them one wasn't working. That team looked dreadful yesterday.

They were one-hit by Sergio Mitre, that would enrage calmer men than Ozzie.

I'm afraid we might have us some lollygaggers here. Lollygaggers. Lollygaggers.

I never thought Sergio Mitre could one-hit a LLWS team...

Meanwhile, Ozzie is, by far, my favorite current MLB manager. In twenty years everyone will refer to Ozzie rants as they do Earl Weaver stuff now. Keep your Ozzie video/audio clips folks.

Huh? Has Ozzie ever gone a week without tearing his team a new one?

Ozzie is going to have more to say this afternoon.

The Padres wished they had Luke Ramirez, they'd just stick that kid in right field and watch him rake.

If this is a serious inquiry, he's gone months at a time.
