this clown should be working for tmz not a chicago newspaper, his deep throating of ozzie is pathetic.


The company line was spewed throughout the weekend.

General manager Ken Williams talked about talent and the ‘‘ability to turn this around and turn it around quickly.’’

He made it seem like it couldn’t get any lower.

On Tuesday night, it did. Lower by about 6 feet after Minnesota Twins pitcher Francisco Liriano — he of the 9.13 ERA heading into the series against the Sox — no-hit the hapless South Siders in their own backyard 1-0. A hammer, a few nails, some dirt on top and a headstone. Rest in peace, you $125 million pile of dung.

Not since Torii Hunter made catcher Jamie Burke road-kill in 2004 have the Sox been this embarrassed at home. And it came at the hands of the Twins again.

With the loss, the Sox are back in last place in the American League Central at 11-20.

Asked about being no-hit by a struggling pitcher such as Liriano, all manager Ozzie Guillen could say was, ‘‘That’s the way we roll, I guess.

‘‘As a manager, I just take it as a loss. As a player, they might take it a different way. I wasn’t in the lineup. What can you say as a manager? ‘Let’s go!’ They have to go out there and perform.’’

Now the sobering part of an ‘‘All In’’ campaign-turned-bad joke: There is no help coming.

Not now, not any time soon.

That’s a statement you’re just going to have to wrap your arms around and embrace.

Nobody’s going anywhere

Hitting coach Greg Walker isn’t getting fired today. And for those armchair general managers who have an inflated self-worth because they finished first in their fantasy baseball leagues two out of the last three years, you’re not getting
Guillen’s head on a platter, either.

Rule No. 1: You don’t get rid of a top-five manager in his prime. Rule No. 2: You don’t get rid of the man solely responsible for your team being relevant. Rule No. 3: You don’t get rid of a man who knows where all the bodies are buried by your organization and would have a tell-all book on the New York Times’ best-seller list by the time the winter meetings hit in December.

That’s what’s really depressing about Sox baseball these days: all kinds of problems and no one person to hold accountable. It’s a slow-motion car wreck in which we all have to fasten our seat belts, close our eyes and hope that the glass fragments don’t cut too deeply.

Even if it doesn’t play out well for the Sox, there is very little flexibility in shoveling out of the mess. That’s what should keep Williams up at night and make him feel a little uneasy about his current standing.

‘‘They made this team to win,’’ catcher Ramon Castro said. ‘‘This is a low point. We’re not playing the way we’re expected to, but we’re human. Hopefully, we can make this thing better.’’

They better because their GM can’t.

This is a team full of unmovable contracts or players performing so poorly they would have trouble landing a spot on the Island of Misfit Toys.

So what deck chairs can be tossed overboard if the S.S. Sox-tanic continues to sink deeper into icy water?

Seriously, does the Guillen family have this tool on payroll? According to Cowley Ozzie Guillen is the first manager in history who isn't the slightest bit responsible for the way his team plays. Except when it wins which somehow makes him one of the "five best managers in the game"????? Cowley should be embarrassed.

Ozzie Guillen and his illiterate sons would be a nice start.

Nothing beats a good spin session with Cowley on the D-Mac show. No matter what you know that Ozzie will not get direct or indirect blame for anything. When he does implicate Ozzie in something it's always followed by "what is he supposed to do?" or "yeah, the blame starts right at the top and goes down from there" or whatever.

It's funny to listen to this Ozzie-Schlong guzzling queen go on and on defending his King and also defending his fucking kid when he was being an outright douchebag piece of shit.

Funny stuff.

:scratch:

He still writes for the Sun-Times...Joe Cowley's not "National Media", unless he wants to get muted by Tony Reali on ESPN's "Around the Horn" like Jay Mariotti always did.
