Things couldn’t be going much worse for the Chicago White Sox this season, and things have reached a point where former manager Ozzie Guillen, in the pre and postgame shows, has become arguably the most entertaining part of the team.
Prior to last night’s 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, Guillen was visibly upset and shared the reason why that had the studio cracking up.
NBC Sports Chicago shared a clip from last night’s pregame show where Guillen shared how sad he was upon realizing he wasn’t good enough to even manage this White Sox team, saying: “The last couple of games I’ve been depressed, like ‘Oh my God!’ I got an interview for that job and they didn’t pick me? I am that bad?’”

Guillen joked that his wife tells him he is moody every day, but luckily for Ozzie, his teammates on the pregame show reaffirmed that he belongs there with them and that he is in fact good enough.
After all, this is the guy who managed the team to a 2005 World Series victory.
The White Sox are now 17-51 and continue to find ways to lose in devastating fashion by starting this Mariners series with a couple of blown leads leading to defeat, most painfully Cal Raleigh’s walk-off grand slam on Monday.
The bright side is that the lineup is getting a bit healthier, as star center fielder Luis Robert Jr. just returned and fellow outfielders Tommy Pham and Andrew Benintendi are set to begin rehab assignments.
Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez should be back sometime this summer as well, so perhaps the White Sox can begin to salvage what’s left of their 2024.
