Ozzie Guillen has never pulled any punches, even from himself.

''If [chairman] Jerry Reinsdorf or Kenny Williams believes that I didn't do what I was supposed to do at the end of this year, they should fire me,'' Guillen said.

''We have high expectations this season. If we fall short, I deserve to be fired. And I'm not just saying it because it's Ozzie talking again.

''We had Freddy Garcia, Neal Cotts, Cliff Politte, and all those guys helped us, helped me, win it in 2005, and they're gone. I should be treated the same way. If Kenny feels that I don't handle the club the right way or lose the club, don't do my job on and off the field, he should get someone else. I'll be the first one to agree with him.''
