Visitors to soxtalk.com and whitesoxinteractive.com reacted to Ozzie Guillen’s contract extension:
“Those not understanding the timing of this extension …surely, you jest. This is called buying low. This is economics 101, and it is certainly a White Sox hallmark.”
— AddisonStSox
“Two thousand AND TWELVE?!”
— Milkman delivers
“This move is incomprehensible and fraught with danger.”
— Yossarian
“This is a good way to take a little heat off of Ozzie in the respect that they (the media) wont be coming down on him about being on the hot seat and losing his job.”
— Kyyle23
“Good news. No better options out there than Ozzie.”
— kevingrt
“I think the good things Ozzie brings to the table, his passion, knowledge, honestly, desire to win … outweigh the negatives, i.e., giving guys rest, especially early in the year and burning through the bullpen with his constant ‘matchups.’ One other thing this does is let every player or potential future player know that at least for the next few seasons, Ozzie is in charge.”
— Lip Man 1
“Can Ozzie still hit? We might need a decent SS next year …”
