Alex Rios has an "Ozzie Guillen" problem


Well yesterday was truly one mind-bender of a day. I will spare all of the gory details though frankly much of the residue is still lingering today.

That said, there is really nothing better to clear your head than a heavy dose of Ozzie Guillen.

Per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, this is Ozzie Guillen on Alex Rios who has hit .140 since his arrival with the White Sox via a trade with the Blue Jays:

"What have I seen from Rios? A lot of outs. The only batting ninth guy making $5 million was me. This mother (bleeper) is making $10, $12, $14 million, he ain't batting ninth (in 2010). I'm going to make sure he earns his money. But right now I have to put him there because he's struggling. Next year, if we have Rios batting ninth we're in deep (crap) once again."

Memo to Alex Rios:

You have problems.

Like "Ozzie Guillen" problems.

Like "My manager is going to embarrass the hell out of me in the press all year next year unless I pick it up," problems.

I know Cito Gaston in Toronto doesn't do this stuff but Ozzie Guillen does. Cito just trades you. Ozzie makes you roll around in the mud with him.

I know you have a guaranteed contract and all but this just isn't worth it.

You really really need to do something about this; like pronto.
