And people think Ozzie hates Anderson...

Lillibridge.jpgFor four years, the Brian Anderson fan boys have been claiming that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen holds some sort of personal grudge against their guy.

Well, the BA fans should look on the bright side: At least Ozzie has never said Anderson is destined to play in the Korean League. Here's what the skipper had to say about infielder Brent Lillibridge (left), who was recently optioned to Charlotte after striking out 21 times in 68 at-bats:

"You have to use your legs, play baseball, and when you have warning-track power you're going to go from minor leagues to the Mexican League to Korean League," Guillen said. "He has a tough road to come back here. He's not doing what he's supposed to do. I'm just being honest. He got the message three times, and he has to change his ballgame."

Ouch. It seems rather unlikely Lillibridge will be back on the South Side anytime soon.

its just a scare tactic, I don't see any harm in it

Oh, I don't think there's any harm in it either.

I've said harsher things about Lillibridge while watching him attempt to hit major-league pitching. The kid couldn't hit water if he fell out of a freakin' boat.
