Guillen talking himself out of a job
By JIM LITKE

It may be too late for the White Sox to get a refund for the sensitivity training they were ordered to put manager Ozzie Guillen through two summers ago. The man seems more determined than ever to talk his way out of a job.
‘‘Those people are gonna make me a lot of money later. Because as soon as I’m done,’’ Guillen said Thursday, referring to reporters, ‘‘I’ll be the only manager they remember.’’
‘‘Who’s the manager they remember the most?’’ he asked a moment later, not waiting for an answer. ‘‘Billy Martin. They don’t remember Sparky Anderson. They remember Billy Martin because he was the crazy one.’’
In the news business, we call this becoming the ally of your gravedigger. If most of us had a stretch on the job like the one Guillen is in the midst of, the last thing we’d do is call attention to it. Not the Wizard of Oz.
