Ozzie tired of discussing his future with White Sox
It’s starting to look like White Sox general manager Kenny Williams is going to return in 2012.
As for manager Ozzie Guillen, his future remains murky at best.
Guillen is well known for his verbosity, but the Sox’ manager is clearly tired of discussing what lies ahead.
“I’m tired of that (bleep) all day, every day,” Guillen said Friday. “People everywhere I go, they ask me the same questions and they get mad at me because I answered. Right now I’m at the point like, ‘Hey man, whatever it is, it is.’ If I’m back here, good. If I’m not, good. That’s the way it is. Whatever happens, happens.
“Whatever happens with this organization is going to be for the good of the organization. It’s not going to be for Ozzie or for Jerry (Reinsdorf). It’s going to be for the good of the organization, and that’s the way it should be.”
Guillen is signed through next season, but he would like an extension. That does not mean he is demanding more years on his contract.
“(President) Obama asked for an extension, why shouldn’t I ask for one?” Guillen said. “Obama wants four more years. You always knock on the door to see what you get. I don’t think they have to, but my job is just to make sure to ask, you know what I mean? You want to date a girl, but you’re not going to ask her out? You’re that good that you say, ‘OK I’m here?’ You’re going to knock on the door and see what’s going on.”
Reinsdorf was spotted at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday, but Guillen has not spoken to the chairman about his future.
“Do I expect to talk?” Guillen said. “I hope he does. But it doesn’t mean I have to talk to him, and he doesn’t have to talk to me. He’s my boss and I respect that. He talks to me when he wants to talk to me, not when I want to talk to him.”

Every time he plays, it#146;s just sore and it gets worse and worse. I don#146;t know why we have to take that chance.
