The Dugout: Bienvenido Oz Miami

Yesterday, we shared with you the news that beloved (cough) Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has parted ways with the organization because he couldn’t fly to Spain on their dime and wanted a bigger boat. In the Bard’s own words, by way of the Chicago Sun-Times:

“If I leave here, I will say, ‘I leave here because I want to make my [bleeping] money,’ ” he said. “You know why? Because no [bleeping] fans, no [bleeping] Jerry or [bleeping] anybody is going to take care of my grandkids and put me in a 62-foot boat. That’s why there’s free agency.’’

The Dugout has been on a brief hiatus while I was away on vacation and/or readjusting to the rigors of going to work every day in my underwear, so please enjoy this super-sized edition featuring the entire Ozzie Guillen saga, from his announcement of free agency to his Floridian journey and all the way back to Chicago, where the managers flow like wine. If you get concerned about the accents as you read, please remember how Ozzie Guillen actually sounds, and consider that I did him a favor.

The strip will be back in our regular rotation again from here on out (because baseball season being over is the best time for Dugouts, because I’m not watching baseball and things are actually happening) so be sure to like us on Facebook to keep up with the stories and drop us a comment either here or there. We’d also appreciate feedback in the form of 62-foot boats.

Today’s Dugout follows.

KennyMoveItLikeThis: Joey, we’re going to move forward with you as manager.  
JoeCorasWild: Wow, thank you sir, that’s a great honor.  
KennyMoveItLikeThis: In Ozzie’s absence, we feel like the manager should be an infielder of Hispanic origin with deep ties to the organization.  
KennyMoveItLikeThis: We’re having a meeting about it later today, I’m texting you the info right now.  
JoeCorasWild: okay!  
KennyMoveItLikeThis: This is your moment, Joey. We believe in you.
