Chicago White Sox... The new Jersey Shore



The latest drama concering the Chicago White Sox has been all over our Chicago sports radio stations.

Oney Guillen came on both ESPN 1000's Waddle and Silvy AND The Score's Muley and Hanley to further discuss it.


I would have turned it off had it not been my intern duty to listen to both.

I don't know about my fellow White Sox fans out there, but I am sick of the Kenny Williams-Ozzie Guillen Soap Opera that has continuously been going on since the announcement of Ozzie's Twitter.

I want to hear about the team and how they're looking, not about this ongoing drama.

Are the details of what's going on in the club house important? Absolutely.

But as a fan, I am getting sick of it. I have the next season of Jersey Shore to look forward to for drama and trash talking. It's time to get it out of the White Sox organization.


It all started with talk of Ozzie's twitter. As soon as it was announced, it was EVERYWHERE... Chicago sports radio, Comcast Sportsnet, and even ESPN's SportsCenter...


When I first heard the news, I thought, "Cool, I'll follow him". But then I got over it and moved on to hear news about real sports and real baseball stories and couldn't find any. I got frustrated.

Who really cares that much about someone's twitter?
Well, The White Sox do.

The RUMOR is that Oney Guillen got the boot from the Sox because he was tweeting controversial things about the team that the club house did not want to hear (read).

Oney said on both Chicago Sports Radio stations this morning that he was never warned or talked to seriously about his tweets or actions and that he would have appreciated respect from the Sox had they approached him about it.

Oney, are you serious? If you are going to tweet controversial things about the organization you work for it's common sense they are going to be upset with you.

I wouldn't dare tweet bad things about my work place for fear of termination or being yelled at and sent to get an even larger amount of coffee than I thought possible.

One thing that I find funny is that all this drama is coming out AFTER the announcement of a reality show staring Ozzie Guillen, and other members of the White Sox organization.

As we know from everyone's favorite reality show, Jersey Shore, a reality show isn't a success with out constant drama.

What the fans are seeing right now is a previewing of the juicy drama they will see on the show. Infact, it's like the drama is an ad campaign for it.

Funny how it all comes together.... Could it be staged drama for viewership? That's more the Hills style, and we all know we got a situation here.
