Let me be the first White Sox fan to say that I am elated the they
hired Ozzie Guillen today as their manager. I think he the right
man for the team, media and fans. Ozzie will get in Frank's face
(which Jerry Manuel was afraid to do), and he will demand that all
agendas be put to the side and that the team always come first.
So... Frank Thomas can say goodbye to batting wherever he wants in
the lineup and swinging for the fences whenever he likes. If he
tries that with Ozzie, he will find himself on the bench like Manny
Ramirez did with the Red Sox. Look for Maggs to bat third where he
belongs and Carlos Lee to bat 2nd or 4th depending on who's
pitching. Also, expect Valentine and the Alomar brothers to
return.

Look for a team with much more intensity, that bunts and runs the
bases better and has a killer instinct. And for God sakes...we can
finally say goodbye to the J.V. lineups that we have become
accustomed to on Sunday games and when we win the first two games of
a series. No more Neal Cotts fiasco's. Also, look for a team that
will knock a guy off the plate by coming high and tight (Like
Beckett did to Soso..I mean Sosa). It does make a hugh difference
as will Ozzie..Go Sox and see you in the playoffs.
