MLB Notes | Guillen unhappy with Chicago fans, media
TORONTO --
Save the e-mails, and don't mail the letters. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is tired of the lineup suggestions and fickleness in the Chicago area with his White Sox on a five-game losing streak."Right now everyone in Chicago is making lineups -- `Call up this guy, call up that guy,' " Guillen said in a profanity-laced interview. "That's what ticks me off about Chicago fans and Chicago media: They forget pretty quickly. A couple days ago we were the (bleeping) best (stuff) in town. Now we're (bleep)."
Guillen, who led the White Sox to the 2006 World Series, said his team doesn't get the breaks from fans and media the way the cross-town Cubs do.
"The Cubs haven't won in (100) years, and they're the (bleeping) best. (Bleep) it, we're good. (Bleep) everybody." Chicago Tribune
Around the leagues
ATLANTA: Joe Simpson was expected to make a quick return to the broadcast booth after emergency surgery. Simpson, part of the Fox Sports Net South broadcast team, missed Sunday's game after an appendectomy.
CHICAGO CUBS: Aramis Ramirez missed his second straight start with a sore left wrist after getting hit by a pitch Friday night.
DETROIT: Curtis Granderson hit his 15th leadoff homer, putting him third on the Tigers' all-time list behind Lou Whitaker (23) and DickMcAuliffe (19).
NEW YORK YANKEES: Pitcher Ian Kennedy, 23, was sent to the minor leagues after going 0-2 with an 8.37 ERA in six games, including five starts.
ST. LOUIS: Anthony Reyes, 26, was demoted to the minor leagues after sputtering in a relief role with a 5.27 ERA.
Not much has gone right for Reyes since he beat the Tigers in the 2006 World Series opener. He was 2-14 with a 6.04 ERA last year.
SAN DIEGO: Greg Maddux, the four-time Cy Young award winner, is 0-3 in four starts since April 13. He leads active pitchers in victories and was trying to become the ninth member of the 350-win club, but instead he fell to 349-217 and lost his fourth decision in a row against Florida.
WASHINGTON: Aaron Boone started at third base in place of Ryan Zimmerman, whose consecutive games-played streak was halted at 205. Zimmerman's was the second-longest active streak in the majors behind Atlanta's Jeff Francoeur, who played in his 356th straight game Sunday.
