Ozzie Guillen Walks Away From White Sox; A Look Back At Some of His Best Tweets

Author:

It is a sad day for White Sox fans. Their controversial, but always entertaining manager, Ozzie Guillen, and the Sox have ended their relationship.

Ozzie was looking for a contract extension, but Jerry Reinsdorf wasn't willing to give him one, so Ozzie asked to be released from his current contract and Reinsdorf honored his request.

And while according to sources, Guillen is going to accept a job as manager of the Florida Marlins, we sincerely hope he stays in the game. Baseball is much more interesting with Ozzie Guillen with him, that it is without him.

If the Marlins do hire Guillen, who has a career record of 678-617, they will have to send two players to the White Sox for compensation.

And while a lot of Guillen's tenure with the Sox was marred by controversy (much of it he brought on himself), it can't be forgotten that he was the only major league manager in the last 90 years to bring a world series title to Chicago. Something the baseball fans of Chicago did not give him enough credit for.

Without pointing fingers of blame at why Guillen is gone (cough, Adam Dunn, cough, Alex Rios), we'd like to look back at some of our favorite Ozzie tweets. If you're not aware of Guillen's Twitter account, you should be. He uses it as part diary, part soapbox and part megaphone for asking God to help with traffic and let everyone know about his favorite TV shows. He never held anything back, and his spanglish and sheer disdain for punctuation made it one of the most insanely great twitter accounts on the web.
