Over the past week or so there have been some great Chicago sports quotes, and each one would have lent itself to a great post all on its own.  Unfortunately, I’m studying for some stupid test and I don’t have time to make a million posts for you idiots.  Thus, I have combined them all into this post.  Enjoy:

Ozzie Guillen on managing: “I’m always bored,” Guillen said. “I’m not playing. You’re sitting around for seven innings. My game starts in the sixth [or] seventh inning. That’s when you see me look around the stands a lot, because you play this game for that many years and coach it and be there for that many years and you’re just managing, it’s a boring game all day for me.” So boring, in fact, that as Guillen headed up the steps and out of the press room he admitted that he started counting the number of people in the stands who had his name on the back of their jerseys. “I counted 35,” he said, trying to forget about his team’s performance.

Some Cubs fan at the Cubs-Phillies game in Philly: Sat next to a Cubs fan who explained repeatedly that the Cubs could have signed Raul Ibanez instead of Milton Bradley (though Ibanez signed in Philly first) and that Alfonso Soriano will swing at any breaking ball out of the zone “just like every other Latin American in the major leagues.”

A caption written by William Ligue III on his Myspace page under a picture of him and his father beating up Tom Gamboa, a base coach for the Royals: “ME AND DAD FUCKIN UP THA COACH FA THA KANSAS CITY ROYALS.”

Another rival wide receiver (Donald Driver this time) on how Bears wide receivers suck: “I think Chicago did a great job, and Lovie Smith went out there and got Jay Cutler to lead this team, but one thing they don’t have is they don’t have the receiver group,” Driver said. ”They have the running back, they have the offensive line and they have a great defense. But you’re going to have to need receivers to make plays down the field, and they don’t have that right now.”

Jerry Reinsdorf on running the Bulls: “But the only way you can avoid making a mistake is not to make a decision.”

Hawk Harrelson’s new catchphrase: “Yes, hell yes!”

Marian Hossa on playing in Chicago, after coming from Detroit (affectionately known as “hockeytown”): “It’s great to be in a hockey town,” said Hossa, who had 40 goals and 31 assists for the Wings last season. “This is a sports town, a great town. The city is great and the fans are great. There’s not much not to like about this city.”

Ozzie’s quote is the funniest but Reinsdorf’s is the most concerning.  Really, Jerry?  I mean it makes sense to live in fear after your Ben Wallace mistake, but I’ve got news for you: being scared of your own shadow led to some serious mistakes as well (missing out on Gasol, Bryant, Garnett, Amare, Boozer, etc).
