Like Rauch, he went down to the minor leagues after he pitched for us and told the minor-league manager and coaches, 'I was hurt when Ozzie pitched me.' What? He goes out there and loses games and doesn't tell me he was hurt? All he had to do was tell me his elbow hurt, or whatever. We'll replace you. But to not report to me what is wrong and then use an excuse you are hurt? You ****in put me in a position like that? I don't need those types of people. That's why his *** was out of here."
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, on how former pitchers Jon Rauch and Damaso Marte wore out their welcomes (Chicago Sun-Times)
"[Henry] made some comment about us cheating? He doesn't even know what a field looks like."
--Guillen, on Red Sox owner John Henry's suspicion that the White Sox were stealing signs against the Yankees
"[Cardinals starter Mark] Mulder wouldn't even make my team. He couldn't start for us, and he's not better than [Neal] Cotts or [Matt] Thornton in our bullpen."
--Guillen, on rehabbing Cardinals starter Mark Mulder
"When you play ****in [Johan] Santana, [Brad] Radke, [Francisco] Liriano, the guy from Cleveland ... [C.C.] Sabathia, all the other guys ... ah, ****. If we played National League teams, the Central Division, we might win 150 games in that ****in league."
--Guillen
"They think I cheat? We faced two ****in good pitchers in the National League Central. Our division, they have to face [the Tigers' starting staff], then you go to the White Sox and face all our guys? When you're going to go to another team, you're going to go, 'Whew, where is Randy Johnson?' The American League Central? That's baseball right here. Go hard one after another."
--Guillen
"Good, I hope [they keep accusing us]. What happened in the playoffs and World Series? We won 1-0, 2-1. We won so many one-run games, more than anyone in baseball last year. You look at our No. 3, 4 and 5 [hitters], they are the best in baseball. If we're cheating, how come we [don't] help Brian Anderson or [Juan] Uribe?"
--Guillen
"We're cheating on the mound? Our pitching staff gets beat up once in awhile. They're mad. They can't admit that a Latino kicked their ***."
--Guillen
"That's why I love the guy next door. He doesn't give a ****. He doesn't worry about this and that. You win, you kicked our butt. When they clinched in 2004, I was the first one to go over there and congratulate them because they beat us."
--Guillen, on Twins manager Ron Gardenhire
"'Oh, no, I don't like you because you kicked my ***?' Please. That's competition."
--Guillen
"That's why I don't get along with too many managers. Because they hate my ****in ***, because I don't kiss their ***, and I didn't kiss anyone's *** to get this job."
--Guillen
"Then they have a Mexican win the World Series in two years. And they're saying he doesn't have experience, he never managed in baseball before. Well, too ****in bad."
--Guillen
"What's the difference? No one knows the difference anyway."
--Guillen, after being reminded that he's Venezuelan
"He should pay our *** for winning the Cy Young. He should send us the ****in trophy."
--Ozzie Guillen, on Johan Santana's success against the White Sox (Chicago Sun-Times)
"I'm gonna be mad at Santana because of that? No. He shoves it up our ***, that's the way it is."
--Guillen
