Ozzie Guillen takes Blame for Lost Season

Posted by Rob Boudreau Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB

“If this thing doesn’t work, I blame myself,” said Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. “It’s my fault. I can say that right now and I can say that tomorrow and I can say it two weeks later. It’s my fault when something goes wrong on the field.”

Guillen said this in regards to the fact that his team sits 7.5 games back of the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers, and 11 games back of the wild card Boston Red Sox. At this time last year, the White Sox were leading a pack of playoff-hungry teams, and eventually squeezed their way into the playoffs, beating the Minnesota Twins 1-0 in a do-or-die 163rd game. Guillen was also at the helm of the 2005 club, who swept the Houston Astros in four to win their first World Series since 1917.
