Even with a World Series victory in 2005 the Chicago White Sox management and some players (not to mention a large portion of the fan base) cannot seem to get over their jealousy and inferiority feelings towards their cross town rival Chicago Cubs. A Chicago Sun-Times article today relays more of the same whining we have heard from Sox manager Ozzie Guillen since his hiring in 2004. He claims it is all about repsect but it is obviously far deeper than that. I used to respect Guillen because he actually manages instead of going with pitch counts and conventional match-ups. He knows his players and their abilities and applies them accordingly. That said, his unholy preoccupation with the Cubs has shown the little-mindeness of his character and the immaturity within. All he needs to do is worry about himself and his team and the respect he is looking for will be there. It was in 2005 and has been since, despite the crying and insecurity exhibited by the manager, GM and some of the players of the South Side Ballclub. Grow up guys, just play ball and the rest will take care of itself. For heaven’s sake you sound like my kids.
