I hear Sox fans, media people, etc. complain all the time about the glibness of Ozzie Guillen.  It's the say chorus of knuckleheads that tried to turn Mike Ditka into a clown.

Ozzie says what he thinks and doesn't sugar coat anything, which makes for great copy and the appreciation of some fans who enjoy their managers habit of always telling the truth as he sees it at the moment..

The Q-Stache, on the other hand, is Ozzie's polar opposite, having mastered the age old art of "coach speak" to a point where the man can talk for ten minutes and not say anything relevant at all.  The Q-Stache missed his calling in life, he should have been on the professional poker player's tour,

To further illustrate our point, let's take the two disappointing games played by both teams last night.  The Sox were drilled 10-1 by the Indians, a team they can't beat even though Cleveland is one of the bottom feeders this year in the AL.  The Hawks meantime, were losing 5-3 in a turnover plagued game which has now forced at least a six game series with Philadelphia.

Now, remember, this is for the purpose of illustration, not reality.  What if Q-Stache were managing the Sox?  What would he have said after that debacle last night?  Probably something like this:

"Certainly it was a disappointing night.  We felt like we were ready to play, John felt he was ready to compete and I think for the first part of the game, we did compete well.  We did have some breakdowns that we'll address with the team tomorrow and we hope that Saturday night, with Jake on the mound, we can be a little more focused and achieve a better result.  Certainly we are concerned with the inconsistency of our play this year, but you've got to give Cleveland some credit, they came to play and executed their plan when they needed to."

Now, live from Philly, Hawks coach Ozzie Guillen:

"I tell you what.  We stink tonight.  We not hit nobody, we not check nobody.  We totally let them control us in front of the net which we can't do.  Pronger stand there like this big mountain and instead of Dustin moving around on him, he just stand there like he's leaning against a wall.  Somebody need to be a man and knock Pronger on his (expletive.)  Knock the (expletive) on his (expletive) and if you don't know how to do it, we find a player that can. And if that don't work, I'll walk out there and fight the (expletive) I don't know what Hjalmarsson was thinking, but if he don't get his head out of his (expletive) (expletive) soon, he no gonna play on this (expletive) team no more.  Nobody on this team play good tonight except for Nemmi and his defense was horrible. I'm not gonna let these guys mess up this chance they have at the (expletive) cup, so if i got to mix up all the lines just to show them, I (expletive) will.

So there you go, coachspeak vs. the truth.  Which do you enjoy hearing?  Maybe now some of you Ozzie bashers will shut the (expletive) up.
