Guillen Embarrassed By Loss To Yanks

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was embarrassed after the team's 10-0 loss to the Yankees on Saturday.

"I'm embarrassed, and everybody in that room should be embarrassed," Guillen told reporters after the game. "If they're not embarrassed, they got the wrong job or they're stealing money from baseball.

"I feel like I'm stealing money from Jerry, and that's a shame. When you have more errors than hits, you better look yourself in the mirror and second-guess yourself. I'm second-guessing myself right now, making the wrong lineup every day. I watched Little League this morning ... they were playing better than we did. At least it was more fun. This is not major-league baseball, sorry."

Guillen didn't want to take credit away from Sergio Mitre or the Yankees, but after Chicago's sixth loss in their last seven games, his frustration boiled over.

"If they don't feel the way I feel right now, they're full of [expletive]," Guillen continued. "There's no doubt in my mind we're better than this. But you get to a point where it is what it is. And my hope is getting less and less. It's a long mountain, and the mountain is getting higher and higher every night. And if we're going to climb to the top, maybe they need a cable car to get up there. But they're not going to walk up there.

"I'm not a loser or a negative guy, but I'm real realistic. That's my problem in the past when I'm so realistic and people get mad at me and they don't like the way I do stuff or the way I talk. Well, if you don't want me to talk that way, [expletive] play better."
