The article discusses the frustrations surrounding the Chicago White Sox's dismal 2024 season, particularly the silenced criticism from analysts like Ozzie Guillen and Chuck Garfien. As the Sox show signs of improvement in 2025, Guillen candidly criticizes former manager Pedro Grifol, labeling him a 'stupid manager.' He explains how Grifol's approach was disingenuous, contrasting it with the refreshing honesty of the new manager, Will Venable. This represents a significant shift in the team's atmosphere, providing fans with a more optimistic outlook for the season ahead.
Guillen identified the biggest difference from last year's Sox to this year's Sox coming down to the skipper. "The difference between last year and this year is, by far, we don't have a stupid manager," Guillen asserted to a live audience that laughed and applauded.
Chuck Garfien and Ozzie Guillen are some of the best in the business. White Sox postgame shows are always fun, even when the team is not.
