Ozzie Guillen and Twitter

by Coltrane

Ozzie Guillen has decided to join Twitter. 

“That’s why the world is all screwed up,” he said. “I want to say [bleep] off, but I can’t. All of a sudden, we’re worrying about something that is personal. I wanted to do something that is fun off the field. All of a sudden, they’re making a big deal of this thing …

“I feel like I was doing something wrong. People are treating me like I was a murderer or something, or steal someone’s money or didn’t pay my taxes.”

Guillen said he spoke to Sox general manager Ken Williams about his new hobby, although Williams appeared to be caught off guard when a reporter from the Sun-Times asked him about it and he responded with a “No comment.”

“If this thing bothers the White Sox or Kenny or Jerry [Reinsdorf], then we’ll talk about it,” Guillen said. “I talked to Kenny about it. I said what it was. He can see what I say. If that thing offends anyone, beat it, because I didn’t do anything wrong.

“This has nothing to do with the organization or baseball. It’s my life. I don’t know why people are making a big deal of it. All of a sudden it’s Ozzie Guillen. I didn’t know how famous I was. That’s pretty interesting. I thought people hate me.”

Ozzie is well known to have a short path between his brain and his mouth.  The odds are slim that this ends well, though it should be entertaining while it lasts.
