From: Scott Smith on 12 Aug 2010 18:36 Guillen doesn't bemoan loss of Thome http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b5kR2 By Dave van Dyck, Chicago Tribune reporter - 8/10/2010 Even though Jim Thome hit the first pitch he saw Tuesday night over the U.S. Cellular Field wall, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen wasn't about to change his mind about ditching his DH last winter. A feisty Guillen said he wasn't going to worry about "the fans and media being all over me because we didn't sign (Thome). I said ... we did it for a reason � I don't say 'I' � 'we' did it for a reason." Thome's second-inning homer was his 15th in his 77th game as a DH for the Twins. White Sox DHs had 15 in 112 games.

White Sox DHs had 15 in 112 games. Yeah, well, Guillen's an idiot. I understand that Thome is a one- dimensional player in decline but he's still a valuable player. The last sentence in your post says all you need to know. Guillen came out of the dugout and started jawing at the home plate umpire after Perkins hit Carlos Quentin with a pitch. The home plate umpire had just warned both benches (which I thought was proper considering it was the 2nd time in the game that Quentin had been hit by a pitch.) But what in the heck is Guillen arguing about? What did he hope to accomplish? Meanwhile, Gardy is just patiently standing off to the side with a smile on his face. Guillen mismanages his bullpen to high hilarity. He shoots off at the mouth with regularity. He thinks he's got jocularity, instead he infuses his team with a sense of polarity, because he so often inexorably shows his fallibility.

Were you by any possibility influenced in this mode of whimsicality by having listened to Rev.

I just had this sudden ability, an affinity if you will, or a profundity, a verbosity for thinking of words ending in ity.
